First Stop: Get Something You\u2019ve Never Tried<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Kensington Market is basically the opposite of a food court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of ten versions of the same burger, you&#8217;ve got tiny restaurants, takeout counters, bakeries and specialty shops packed into a few blocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Which means your first rule should be:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Don&#8217;t order what you already know.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Your friend wants tacos?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Someone else wants jerk chicken?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Also fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Someone suddenly discovers they&#8217;re obsessed with empanadas?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Even better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Order different things and share.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That&#8217;s how you turn one meal into a full food crawl.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>&#x1f32f; Seven Lives Tacos y Mariscos \u2014 The Taco Stop<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If your group is craving tacos, this is the kind of place where you should arrive hungry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The menu leans heavily into seafood and Mexican flavours, with tacos that go well beyond the standard \u201cchicken, beef or vegetarian\u201d options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Think fish, shrimp and other seafood-forward combinations alongside classic Mexican flavours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The strategy here is simple:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Everyone orders something different.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Then steal bites from everyone else&#8217;s plate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That&#8217;s what friends are for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Taco missions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Group strategy:<\/strong> Order several varieties and share.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>&#x1f959; Rasta Pasta \u2014 Yes, It\u2019s Exactly What It Sounds Like<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Jamaican food meets Italian comfort food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And somehow, it works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Rasta Pasta has become one of those Kensington Market spots that people recommend when someone asks:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>\u201cWhere should we eat around here?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The menu combines Caribbean flavours with pasta and other comfort-food staples.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It&#8217;s bold, filling and definitely not something you&#8217;re going to confuse with your university dining hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> When you&#8217;re hungry-hungry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Group strategy:<\/strong> Split a couple of dishes so everyone gets to try the different flavours.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>&#x1f95f; Dumplings: The Answer Is Always More Dumplings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Kensington Market is one of those places where you can walk around with absolutely no plan and suddenly discover that you desperately need dumplings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Don&#8217;t fight it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Go with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Dumplings are basically perfect student food:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Easy to share<\/li>\n<li>Lots of variety<\/li>\n<li>Filling<\/li>\n<li>Usually affordable<\/li>\n<li>Impossible to stop eating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Get steamed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Get pan-fried.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Try something you&#8217;ve never ordered before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Then immediately say:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>\u201cWe should have gotten more.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You were always going to say that.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>&#x1f35c; The Real Kensington Market Trick: Don&#8217;t Have One Meal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is where Kensington gets fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of sitting down for a traditional three-course dinner, think of the neighbourhood like a giant tasting menu.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop 1:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Something savoury.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop 2:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Something spicy.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop 3:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Something you&#8217;ve never heard of.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop 4:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Dessert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Suddenly you&#8217;ve turned a normal Thursday afternoon into a food adventure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And you didn&#8217;t even need a reservation.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h1>&#x1f370; Save Room for Dessert<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is where rookie food crawlers make their biggest mistake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">They eat until they&#8217;re completely full at the first restaurant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Don&#8217;t do that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Kensington is packed with bakeries, sweet shops and dessert options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So when you&#8217;re halfway through your first meal and someone says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\u201cShould we get dessert later?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The correct answer is:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You may need to walk around for 20 minutes first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That&#8217;s called digestion.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h1>&#x1f393; The Ultimate College Kensington Market Challenge<\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Want to make it competitive?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Split into teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Give everyone a small budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Your mission:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Find the best meal in Kensington Market without blowing your entire week&#8217;s food budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Each team gets points for:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#x1f32e;
