The now-Duchess spent nearly six years living in our glorious city so she obviously discovered some local faves of her own.

Situated in the heart of Rosedale is Gee Beauty and it was one of Meghan’s go-to shopping destinations.

Get your Italian food at Terroni just like Meghan Markle did while she was a Toronto resident. Apparently, she was a huge fan of the restaurants red chilies in oil (pepperoncini piccanti). You can purchase the chilies online, but we recommend coming in and enjoying a full meal — then take your beloved hot peppers to-go!

Instagram/@bbirdco
It’s no secret that Meghan loved spending time in Kensington Market while she was living here in TO. One of her go-to spots was Blackbird Baking Co. and we hear her fave was the bakery’s Kensington sourdough loaf that’s made with red fife flour.
