Portrait of travel writer Emily Chen

Emily Chen is a Toronto-based food and travel writer covering Canada’s cities one meal at a time.

She plans her trips around markets, bakeries, and one great dinner reservation, then writes honest guides to where to eat and where to stay — the neighbourhood food halls, hotel picks for first-time visitors, and local spots worth leaving downtown for.

What Emily covers: where to eat in Canadian cities, neighbourhood and hotel guides for first-time visitors.
