11 high-engagement food creators in Toronto with 10K to 100K followers

These are the 11 creators with 10,000 to 100,000 followers and the highest engagement rates on the list. The median across all 34 creators in that range is 2.36%, and 1 of these 11 reaches at least twice that. We left out one creator whose average post got more likes and comments than the account has followers, because one viral post sets that average. We also left out 7 creators with no measured Reel views, or whose average likes and comments beat their median Reel views, since we could not check their rate against reach. A high rate can also come from comment prompts, so open a few recent posts before you reach out.

How we built this list

  1. We started from 39,669 individual Instagram creators with at least 1,000 followers and 6 measured posts, read by Virev's crawler between August 18 and October 7, 2026. Brands, media pages and businesses are not on the list.
  2. A creator is on this page when their Instagram bio or display name names Toronto, such as a city, a region or a flag, and the country in their Virev profile does not name another country. We removed accounts that name the place only inside another account's handle, an email address, or a team or event name, such as a baseball club or a marathon.
  3. The engagement rate is average likes plus comments on the 6 to 12 most recent feed posts, divided by followers at the read.
  4. Median Reel views is the median play count of the creator's last 12 Reels, and it shows n/a when fewer than 3 Reels had a play count. 59 of the 69 creators have one.
  5. These 69 creators were read between September 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026, and follower counts move after that, so check the live profile before you send an offer.
  6. The page shows public profile numbers only, with no emails or phone numbers.
