There are so many places to eat in Toronto that might have something new in store for foodies, and it's also blessed with tons of options for locals and travellers alike to taste goodies that remind them of home.

Yelp Toronto announced they’ll be hosting a variety of events where food lovers can hit up different spots around the city that will be offering free food from different backgrounds or some sweet deals to whoever signs up to join.

Yelp's Global Goodies event is aimed to let people discover food from all around the world without the hefty cost of a plane ticket.

People who want to get in on the action will need to RSVP in advance, and while two events are only for Yelp Elites, the rest are open to everyone.

One event Torontonians can check out is a virtual class with The Abibiman Project, where people tuning in will learn how to make African curry.

Starting up March 16 and going on until April 30, here are four free events foodies can sign up for.
