3 Reasons You Need to Try Scarborough Town Centre’s TASTE MRKT

August 23, 2016 by Nick Joly 1 Comment

scarborough town centre's taste mrkt

SO I recently had the chance to visit Scarborough Town Centre’s TASTE MRKT for the first time, and thought I’d share my experience with you! Because let’s face it, I share almost everything on here with you guys!

Cleverly named, TASTE MRKT, the first phase of Scarborough Town Centre’s dining area features 22 vendors with flavours from around the world!

I brought S along with me for the visit, and together we enjoyed ourselves a cute little date night. Felt like I was 17 again hanging out at the mall lol! This time however, in the TASTE MRKT, the increased seating and full scullery service made the dining experience much more sophisticated!

It also happened to be a great time to visit when we did, as Scarborough Town Centre recently renovated the space and just launched an entirely new culinary experience that really took us by surprise!

We had such a great time that I thought I’d share three reasons on why YOU should check it out!

1. Food from around the world!

Like I said, S and I got to sample different tastes from vendors from all over the world. We had Vietnamese baos (which were to die for) from Mii Sandwich. A couple of delicious smoothies from Real Fruit, as well as assorted sushi from Wasabi Grill, and the veggie-works poutine from New York Fries! That last one really took S by surprise since he’s normally such a carnivore, but he loved it!

A lot of you know that I’ve been trying my hands at some vegan and vegetarian dishes/recipes lately. I think this is really the direction I’m headed in, at least in the long run, so I was happy to see all of the vegan and vegetarian options available at TASTE MRKT! And to S’ surprise, he liked the taste of a lot of them, too! 🙂

2. A newly renovated space will full scullery service.

The dining space, seriously is gorgeous. A truly upscaled dining experience for a mall’s foodcourt. From brand new subway tiles on the walls, to elevated booths that seat four, you really don’t feel like you’re eating in a run of the mill food court.

S and I were chatting about how the booth we were in made for a great date night spot, given that you find the right food of course… which shouldn’t be too hard with over 20 restaurants to choose from!

3. Over 1 million square feet of shopping!

And yes, that’s right. Did you know Scarborough Town Centre boasts over 1M sq ft of shopping space? I sure didn’t! After dinner, we explored almost the entire mall. From Sephora, to Zara, Brown’s, Calvin Klein and more, I was really surprised to see that STC had all of these retailers under their hood!

The TASTE MRKT is what drew us in (naturally I gravitate to food), but with all three reasons I mentioned, PLUS a full-sized movie theater, how could we not explore the rest of the mall?

Another nice touch that made the experience even better: we visited while the Rio Olympics were still running, and got to see the games on their HUGE screens! Scarborough Town Centre had an incredible space at the centre of the mall, dedicated to the Olympic Games. I always love watching and cheering on Canada when I can, so this was certainly a nice touch to the overall STC experience.

I guess now you know where to go when you’re looking for a great shopping AND dining experience, right? And I found out that early next year we can expect an entirely NEW, second floor to the TASTE MRKT, filled with more culinary tastes from around the world as the STC TASTE MRKT expands! Stay tuned for that around May of next year!

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.
—
I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
