    My wife and I chose this company to do a food tour because of the great reviews, the choices available, and that we could book with our Chase points! The fusion tour we did was fantastic. William was a superb guide, sharing stories of the Kensington market that left us feeling like we had a good background of this unique neighborhood. He was very personable and funny and was attentive to everyone's needs. The six food spots selected for the tour were all delicious. Each spot being a fusion of two cuisines was unique, things you wouldn't get in your city. The portions are solid, definitely filling and could easily make a second meal out of leftovers. There's a nice walk between a few of the spots which help give you a break lol. Overall a wonderful experience!

    Did the tour today with Veronica. She was knowledgeable about the history of the area and all the food stops. We arrived at Nu Bagel at 10:30 and she was there to great us. All the food stops were great, a a world tour. Most of them we wouldn’t of found on our own, We especially liked the trout bagel and Jumbo Empanadas. The tour gave us a great overview of Kensington Market. The vibe and energy of the area exceeded our high expectations. Can’t wait to return! Thanks, Veronica for making the day special! I asked about Jimmy’s Coffee and Veronica explained about all the blends are named after famous Jimmy’s, even it wasn’t on the tour.

    My partner and I spent an afternoon experiencing the Kensington Market Signature International Food Tour hosted by Chopsticks+Forks. Our tour guide Jusep has a delightful personality and provided amazing insight into not only the various foods tasted but also the rich history of the Kensington market. His passion for food and loving bonds with the local store owners was second only to the delicious flavours tasted throughout the tour. I highly recommend anyone considering a visit to the Kensington market to take this tour. You get to discover so many new cuisines. My only advice would be to arrive hungry!

    This tour is so worth it! The tour guide William knew a lot about the area and the food we were eating. It was so great eating around Kensington Market and tasting so much good food. I would recommend this on a heartbeat to anyone who loves food or wants to learn about this hidden gem.

    Fantastic!! Jusep was amazing. We did the Kensington Market tour and loved every moment. The food was delicious and descriptions, information and history by Jusep was great. Have done food tours in other cities and they don't even come close to Chopsticks+Forks, they could learn alot from Jusep. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back for one of the other a tours they offer.

    Jusep was our guide and the history he shared with us was exceptional in bringing the food context to life. I never would have experienced this side of Toronto on my own and I work in restaurants in NYC so I know my way around the food scene. I truly learned ao much today and left with a very full and satisfied belly.

    Such a lovely tour! Our tour guide Jessica was so friendly and knowledgeable! My friend and I went on this tour as the only Canadians in the group and we learned that the palates of Torontonians are very unique… apparently Jamaican patties are not very common in the USA! Loved the food also. Great experience and I definitely will recommend it to all my friends!

    I did the Kensington Market Signature International Food Tour with my friends.Very disappointed. The guide was great but they need to improve on the food. We had 3- 4 good stops. The others ones were not good. The tour is quite costly when compared to the food provided. Instead of paying $89, we should pay around $50. Well, this is a clear case where the owner of the company can’t handle a bad review and have 0 customer services skills ! So bad !! Good luck taking money from people !!

    Hands down the best food tour I have ever been on. Jusep is extremely knowledgeable and has taken great care to craft a fun and delicious journey through Toronto's most diverse neighborhood. My wife and I had a blast talking with Jusep and the rest of our group while enjoying some amazing foods which ranged from familiar favorites to completely new territory for us. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Toronto, especially if you are only in town for a short while. You would probably not be able to sample all these different foods on your own in a short span, but thanks to Jusep's relationships with these great local spots you get to try so many different delicacies in just a few hours. In addition, the neighborhood itself is a feast for the senses and Jusep provides some great backstory and info about this cultural gem throughout the tour. I look forward to hopefully returning to Toronto soon to take another tour with Jusep. Well worth it!

    We did the fantastic fusion food tour around Kensington Market, cannot fault a thing. Coffee, Ube flan and the Puk were my favourites (but there was anything that wasn't delicious to tell you the truth). If you like trying new foods this is the tour for you!

    This is a great way to experience of what Kensington has to offer. Jessica, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the food and history of the market. Had a great time.

    We had a GREAT time today on the Kensington Market tour with William! He was personable and knowledgeable. He told us about the food, some area history and some great local stories! Awesome food too!

    Jessica did our tour for my bro and 9 other friends for his bachelor party and it was such a great idea! We got to have a mini history of Kensington market while stuffing our face with perfect size tastings! Jessica was super helpful and friendly and would definitely recommend her.

    We did this food tour and it was fabulous. Our kids really enjoyed it too. We were all so full and the conversations we had were amazing. I highly recommend it.

    Last minute booking during pandemic times and we actually got it for morning on next day! We late to the tour, and yet Jusep was so nice and understanding! He told us great stories, some Canadian's history, took us to places that we would never be able to find by ourselves. It was delicious, interesting, and very nice time! Highly recommended!

    Chopsticks+Forks organized an amazing day for our team building event. We had delicious food, learned a lot about the city and it gave us a change to spend time together in person! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Marjorie was prepared for everything - had ponchos, sunscreen, water mist, wipes! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was overall pretty good and it was nice to get to know Kensington Market better

    We met with our lovely tour guide Jessica who was quite informative, extremely nice and very accommodating. She took us through a tour that we couldn't make on our own and made us try more than we could dare. We enjoyed every minute of it. ( including our 1 and 5 year olds who had an absolute blast!! ) Top 2 tries for me was the trout bagel and the fish and chips ( the absolute best that i have ever tried). The inca kola was a refreshing interlude as well. Make the time for it !! You shouldnt miss out.

    A while back my cousin booked and planned a tour with this company, and it was a lot of fun. Kensington Market is unlike the market tours you do in Europe and Asia because canada is so multicultural that you’ll find things to eat and drink from all over the world, and there’s so much fusion cuisine too that you’ll find yourself eating combination dishes that you probably won’t even find in the cuisines native country. Everywhere we went the portions of food and beverages were pretty good and by the end of the tour everyone seemed to have liked 2 or 3 places that they would go back to. I would definitely do this again. Oh and they even covered a few dessert places too. And when the food tour was over, we all had time to browse and shop in some of stores and check out other things our guide recommended. When the pandemic is over I’ll definitely gather some folks and do a tour again. You guys should connect with flight centre to do something together cause I’ve met a lot of people on food tours in other countries, and they don’t have the same eclectic variety that Toronto offers in Kensington Market. Tourists would love it.

    This was one of the best food tours I have ever been on! Jessica, our tour guide, was so nice and knowledgeable! We purchased tickets through a third party and weren’t able to select vegetarian options and they were able to fix it during the tour which we really appreciated! Such a great way to learn about the culture of Toronto and Kensington Market!

    We recently did an International food tour in Kensington Market, Toronto with Chopsticks and Forks. We give 5 stars to Jessica, the terrific friendly guide, and we loved the walking tour and info she gave us, but for us, the food selection fell short. There was 6 tastings, the first was the best in our opinion, won't say what it was as it may change on another tour. It was very fresh, but the others were quite stodgy. We would have loved some more fresh produce, something with rice, greens..... even fruit would be awesome! But it was a great way to spend a few hours and meet some nice people, and a great tour guide 😊 And you may love the food choices!

    We had an amazing experience with William on the fusion food tour. He was such an exciting and knowledgeable guide who really made our day! All of the food was soo tasty and unique, allowing us to taste multiple different cultures with a Canadian twist! Thanks William!
