We recently teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioculinary.com\/\">Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance<\/a> to take us on the ultimate Ontario foodie road trip, and we were more than impressed. What\u2019s better than open road and crunchy, salty, sweet meals along the way? It was impossible not to drool over descriptions of their top picks of farmers markets, farm-to-table restaurants, and breweries. Here\u2019s a helpful recap of the some of the best eats in Ontario.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bite <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bite.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8229\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bite.jpg\" alt=\"Bite\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ontario farmers\u2019 markets offer nothing less than delectable fruits, cheeses, and meats worthy of a hearty nibble. On your trip around the province, make a stop at St. Jacobs Farmers\u2019 Market in the Waterloo Region. The stalls overflow with summer sausages, artisanal cheese, and an exceptionally special treat: apple cider doughnuts. Forget using a napkin; lick off the sugar dust powdering your fingertips. You\u2019ll also want to make a journey to the St. Catherines Farmers\u2019 Market. Here, you can bite into the brittle crust of fresh sourdough bread, before sinking your teeth into some famous Niagara plump peaches. You\u2019ll want to savour each drop of the sweet juice trying to escape the corners of your lips. You may also want to stop by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/St-Lawrence-Market-Toronto.d503140.Vacation-Attraction\">St. Lawrence Market<\/a>, which has been around since the 1800s and features treats like Toronto\u2019s peameal bacon sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>See more of Ontario\u2019s best farmers markets <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioculinary.com\/the-all-ontario-road-trip-best-farmers-markets\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Crunch <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Crunch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8230\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Crunch.jpg\" alt=\"Crunch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Farm-to-table restaurants aren\u2019t just buzz words; they\u2019re true philosophies in Ontario. Take Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery, for instance. The staff raises their own pigs, grows their own certified organic vegetables on-site, and bakes their own bread\u2014on top of growing their own grapes for wine. The flavours are well worth the effort. Try out the charcuterie board with house-cured meats, along with preserved veggies from harvest seasons. The Combine is also worth stopping into on your foodie road trip. The restaurant is situated in a century-old home, with a large garden that grows fresh produce. Crunch into a crisp pickle, munch on candied nuts, and break into brick oven cooked fish. Fresh is always best when you\u2019re on the road.<\/p>\n<p>See more of Ontario\u2019s best farm-to-table restaurants <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioculinary.com\/the-all-ontario-road-trip-best-farm-to-table-restaurants\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8231\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Pour.jpg\" alt=\"Pour\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t find many brew masters in hiking boots searching the fields, but that\u2019s MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co. for you. This on-farm brewery believes in a personal relationship with the ingredients. The hops are grown on the property, and the tank room was dug out of a limestone hill. While you\u2019re exploring the landscape, don\u2019t be surprised if you see the brothers foraging for wild mint. It\u2019s the crowning taste in their famous peppermint stout. Speaking of unusual flavours, check out the Block Three Brewing Co. The brewery knows how to incorporate flavours such as chocolate, grain, and even bubblegum for a tasty beverage to set your night right.<\/p>\n<p>See more of Ontario\u2019s best breweries <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioculinary.com\/the-all-ontario-road-trip-best-breweries\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some places might claim to have the best food in the land, but in Ontario, there\u2019s a pretty good chance that your dinner was just picked from the earth.
