The Best Eats at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Terminal 1

Toronto Pearson International Airport is the second-busiest airport in North America (just behind JFK), making it an important hub for international travel.

As such, you may find yourself stopping into the airport with some time to spare. Toronto prides itself with being one of the most multicultural cities in the word, so it makes sense that its dining scene would be just as diverse - and thankfully, you can get a taste of that diversity in the airport!

Here are some of our favourite spots for travellers passing through Terminal 1

Marathi

(International Departures) Featuring an assortment of staple Indian dishes, from butter chicken to spicy prawn curry. There’s also an iPad ordering system for travellers on the go.

LEE Kitchen
