Marquin

What is Marquin? Located on the concourse mezzanine level of First Canadian Place at 100 King Street West (Unit CN0159) within Toronto’s underground PATH network, Marquin (Venezuelan Delights) is a family-owned kiosk championing authentic Venezuelan street food. The compact, cheerful quick-service stall brings vibrant Caracas hospitality to the heart of the Financial District. It caters to bustling corporate professionals, downtown commuters, and Latin food enthusiasts seeking gluten-free cornmeal arepas and freshly rolled pastries for breakfast and lunch.

Marquin Menu & What to Order The menu revolves around freshly griddled Venezuelan arepas: thick white corn pockets split open and stuffed to order with savoury hot fillings. The crowd favourite is the Reina Pepiada, loaded with shredded chicken breast tossed in creamy avocado, lime, and cilantro dressing. For a deeper, traditional taste, order the Arepa de Pabellón Criollo, featuring slow-braised pulled beef, seasoned black beans, sweet fried plantains, and crumbled white queso. Don't leave without a side order of Tequeños—golden fried pastry spears enclosing melted Venezuelan white cheese—served with zesty house guasacaca herb sauce, followed by warm cinnamon churros dipped in dulce de leche.

Know Before You Go Marquin operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., aligning with standard Financial District business hours, and remains closed on weekends. The lunch rush runs at high gear between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., though service is exceptionally swift. With direct access from King and St. Andrew subway stations via the climate-controlled PATH network, visitors can easily grab lunch without going outdoors.
