Temptations is a Toronto-area food vendor mentioned in our CNE 2026 guide. The vendor appeared in our 2026 CNE food watch list, but its attendance and special dish were not confirmed when checked. Do not travel for it without a current organizer post.

The quick answer

It may be worth considering for filled butter tarts and Canadian fair desserts. The main warning is the business name is too generic for a reliable Google profile match. We could not verify a dependable standalone Google rating, so the profile does not borrow reviews from a similarly named business.

What reviewers complain about

We could not verify a standalone Google business profile with enough reviews to give this vendor a fair rating. We are saying that plainly instead of borrowing reviews from a similarly named business. The business name is too generic for a reliable Google profile match 2026 CNE attendance was not confirmed Filled tarts can become overly sweet An old appearance is not proof of the current menu

Our verdict

Try one focused item and share it before ordering more. Festival food is expensive, and the most dramatic photo is not always the best thing on the menu.
