Riverside and Leslieville Food and Walking Experience
Overview
Riverside & Leslieville – a food and walking experience through two of Toronto’s most character-filled east-end neighbourhoods.
Your adventure begins in Riverside, one of Toronto’s oldest communities, where heritage buildings, the Queen Street bridge, and a vibrant food scene set the stage. From there, we wander into Leslieville, a laid-back district once defined by factories, now beloved for its tree-lined streets, indie cafés, and some of the city’s best eateries.
Every stop on this tour is a true neighbourhood favourite—no chains, no tourist traps. You’ll step inside local hot-spots, taste dishes crafted with care, and hear the stories behind the food.
And to top it off? A chance to sip one of the area’s famous local brewery beers.
With plenty to taste and time to explore, you’ll leave satisfied but not stuffed, and with a genuine feel for two neighbourhoods where old Toronto charm meets bold, creative flavours.
