Elite Traveler Spring 2024

OFF THE EATEN PATH TORONTO

When you think of cities with a vibrant food scene, a few spring to mind: Rome for one (pasta, pizza!), Paris (cheese, pastries!), or Tokyo with its 263 Michelin-starred eateries. But head to Toronto to really whet your appetite — the city’s global in fl uences extend to its kitchens, making for a colorful gourmet adventure. The Ritz-Carlton Toronto, located in the heart of the Entertainment District, o ff ers a collection of custom culinary experiences, exclusively curated for guests. One such experience is a tour of the St Lawrence Market — a major culinary draw of the city since 1803. With its many vendors, stalls and specialty produce, an expert guide is needed — tour the market with one of the Ritz-Carlton chefs to seek out the best products on o ff er. Armed with the bounty from the market, return to the hotel for a chef-led cooking class before indulging in a four-course dinner. Retreat to The Ritz-Carlton Suite, a one bedroom, 2,415-sq-ft haven with views of the CN Tower and a whole list of amenities including a Peloton bike and complimentary cocktails. From $300 per person; The Ritz-Carlton Suite from $5,850. Contact toronto.guestrelations@ritzcarlton.com, +1 416 572 8013, ritzcarlton.com
