Tobacco Shops
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Yes it's true, everyone is legally and safely smoking weed at the back patio, the "Hotbox Cafe" where it is possible to dream the revolution(s) amongst your favorite evolutionary or involutionary new best friends, at tea-time, which is approximately…More »
2. Ronnie's Local 069
A local Kensington Market hangout patio and inside bar for undercover hipsters, secret meetings over beer with shades on in the late night as in the daytime. Known as the videotaping location of the most popular "DIY: how to hotwire a car" youtube…More »

Simple vegetarian oriental plates in a spacious and comfortable setting emphasized by their large windows looking out at the cultured Augusta Avenue. A specialty for both summer lunches and wintery blizzards is the $8 "King's Wonton Noodle Soup" - a…More »

Category:
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Neutral is known to the locals and the underground "dark" scene. Has a wicked psytrance party on Wednesday nights for the earth-toned hippies. Usually lots of room to dance even though it is a smaller venue. A tad sketchy but that's what makes it…More »
5. Kensingtons
Toronto, ON M5T 1L9
(416) 850-2863
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
A warm family-operated venture that serves excellent grilled sandwitches for about $7 and your favourite teas and coffees. Among other things they make on the spot are nutella crepes. They have a lower rating from me because they are a bit of an…More »
6. European Quality Meats & Sausages - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5T 1L8
(416) 596-8691
Category:
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Never seen a larger meat store with an assortment of all meats possible. Take a number at the front, pass it to a helper. Tell the helper what you want. I like the "hot pepperinis" by the dozen for $0.15 each as a snack.
They even make the cheapest…More »
7. The Red Room
Toronto, ON M5T 2G8

Categories:
Indian,

Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Popular student eatery and local meeting spot. Families eat here too, and they have seating for large groups. Main plates are under $10, like shrimp pad thai. A large breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon and toast goods is about $5. Beer feels…More »
8. Massimo Pizza & Pasta
At $3.75 for a large slice, topped with your personalized amount of greasy garlic and saucy green stuff, the "margueritta" is a local favorite, nurturing many local hippies. You can get the hot pepper version for the same price. They only sell…More »

Categories:
Vegan,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Wanna watch Kensington Market pedestrians with a friend over a large lunch ? Come here. I can't tell if I am inside or outside because of the large windows. In fact I can't tell what is better: the colored pedestrians, my friend or the lunch…More »
10. Comfort Zone
Toronto, ON M5S 2H1
(416) 975-0909
Categories:
Dive Bars,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Party hard. Line up sparkling Saturday night, get dirty and go bonk, see warm daylight again on Monday. Deeply absorbing electronic music for the open minded cash flowing bull riding sniper. That makes a normal outing to this Comfort Zone.
Known…More »
11. Amato Pizza
Besides the pepperoni and cheese you have spinach and feta. And a rather wild assortment of twenty or so pizzas on display for the vegetarians and carnivores. The emphasis here is more on the topping flavours because of a thinner crust. A slice and…More »
12. Free Times Cafe
I think of soup lunches and I think of beer on the small street patio at the northern entrance to the Kensington Market.
They have open mic nights for a variety of events: poetry, music, comedy...
The hummus and warm pita bits are a good snack.
13. Big Fat Burrito
Toronto, ON M5T 2M1
(416) 913-7487
Veggie or Steak burrito with some fizzing drink makes for a pleasant and fulfilling stay here. A small veggie burrito "with extra guac", better than any fast food intake (in size and nutrients) is about $6.
The indoor patio has open windows in the…More »
14. Graffiti's Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M5T 1L8
(416) 506-6699
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
A wonderful venue for musical adventures over beer. You can always peek from the street, as the back of the stage is at the window. The intimate setting is good for softer acoustic shows on quieter evenings. On a loud day outside, there better be…More »
15. The Last Temptation
To get the "vibe" of Kensington Market locals eating out, come here. A great place for conversation, yummy food and brewski's (beer).
Yummy = The shrimp Pad Thai for about $8, makes for a medium dinner. No refined taste-bud discoveries here, but…More »
16. Moonbean Coffee
Toronto, ON M5T 1K6
(416) 595-0327
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
The owner is a funny chap with a moustache, looks like a coffee company owner.
Don't forget the back patio outside, in a garden-y type of atmosphere with swinging benches.
Quite often there is marijuana growing among the plants around the place, but it…More »

Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
This venue is very popular, has noteworthy events and is a good hustle on occasion. However, it is an oddball in the Kensington Market. It arrived one day, by moving from an older location with a following.
People come here long distances by…More »
18. Bellevue Square Park
This is the most important park in a city on the planet, in the capital of Toronto, the Kensington Market. Only here will you find so many people from so many paths come together with a common aim. Whether anything is accomplished is another…More »
