1000 Tastes of Toronto

Part of the opening weekend of the Summer festival of Luminato here in Toronto is the 1000 Tastes of Toronto. I made my way down to the Distillery District this afternoon, in search of "Linner" - the combined feast of lunch and dinner on a lazy Sunday.

Tastes was a trail of stalls, emitting smells and sizzling sounds, all around the old Distillery. On display and up for offer was the full range of foods from this multicultural city - almost anything you can imagine! Each stall had a dish or two on offer for the day, for $5, cooked onsite.

My first selection was the Spanish tapa on offer from Torito Tapas Bar, following it up with the Thai sausage, paw paw salad and mango drink from Kho San Road. I added one of the few dessert dishes on offer too, with Raspberry Strawberry Rhuba Icecream Sandwich - delicious!

There is so much going on in this city, and as the weather hits 30C people are out and about experiencing all that is on offer. This festival is a great showcase of the restaurants and range of tastes around town, a great initiative!
