Kensington Market is the place to be for street food in Toronto
Every city has a neighborhood where time seems to have stood still. Full of vintage shops, eateries with food from all over the world, and a relaxed bohemian vibe. The Kensington Market district in downtown Toronto is one such neighborhood. It reminded me a bit of Camden Lock in London. You'll find tons of specialty shops and Asian stores, but also great hotspots for coffee or a bite to eat. If you're a vintage enthusiast, you'll love this neighborhood. Parkdale You've come to the right place. In the summer, these vintage stores display their clothes on outdoor racks, giving you a real market-like feel as you stroll through the narrow streets. The place to be for street food and vintage lovers!

Toronto Travel Tips
>> HOW TO GET THERE: Jet Airways Fly daily from Amsterdam to Toronto from €402. You're there in just over eight hours! I flew in their Premier Class on my last trip, and the food was truly delicious. Highly recommended if you, like me, love Indian food!
>> WHERE TO STAY: Toronto has several nice neighborhoods where you can stay, but if you like the trendier areas, then the area around Queen Street West and Ossington Ave is recommended.
- Drake Hotel: Without a doubt, the hippest hotel in Toronto. With only 19 rooms and a fantastic rooftop bar where you can enjoy drinks after a day exploring the city.
- Shangri-La: If budget isn't an issue, you can't go wrong staying at the Shangri-La. If only for the Momofuku restaurant!
Happy travels!
