Liège-style wafels are the specialty from this Toronto food truck. Hot off the waffle iron, enjoy caramelized batter loaded up with all sorts of decadent toppings.

Eat My Shortbread

The Christmas season wouldn’t be complete without this Scottish staple. Find this Markham-based baker serving up its 20-year-old family recipe.

Oktoberfest Grill

Let the scent of  BBQ seduced you as this vendor serves up German Bratwurst, farmers’ sausage and Hungarian sausage grilled over an open coal BBQ.

Chimney Stax Baking Co.

Hand-rolled, rotisserie-baked pastries are a staple Eastern European snack food. Find these sweet treats at the Christmas Market rolled in cinnamon sugar, sprinkles, and other seasonal flavours.

Raclette

Warm up with this savoury Swiss dish that starts by melting a wheel of cheese and then scraping the gooey top layer over rosemary roasted baby potatoes.
