Dundas Street East, Mississauga. All of it. (10.2 km)
Details
Dundas Street East is a major food street in Mississauga and one of the best in the GTA. If you haven't been there before, good news: this hike will cover everything.
Starting from Dundas Street West (Toronto), we'll head west as the street becomes Dundas Street East (Mississauga). Restaurants morph from Eastern European to Middle Eastern to East Asian and end in South Asian at the midline of Mississauga. Excellent ethnic supermarkets line the street. This is also an opportunity to check out one of seven Chinatowns in the GTA, Mississauga Chinese Centre.
If you're still hungry at the end, you're in luck. The best Indonesian restaurant in the GTA has just moved into the area. You won't find these anywhere else: nasi ayam penyet (chicken steak flattened with a mallet), lontong sayur (vegetable coconut curry with rice cakes), batagor (fish dumplings), and more. It's a food court stall; recommended to pre-order to avoid long waits and disappointment.
