“Our guide Louis was a delight (we share the same name). Very knowledgeable and very funny. The food was great and typical of Montreal treats. My favorite was the first stop at Lester's Deli for their "smoked meat". Essentially our corned beef, but I learned that the process of cooking it is different, so its more tender. Wonderfully flavorful. And the Greek pastry was delicious on our next stop. It was very enjoyable to walk the neighborhoods, despite the cold temperature. I highly recommend this trip, hopefully you'll get Louis.”

She showed us all the amazing shopping areas of Mile End and the time flew by so quickly. If she’s your guide you’ll have an amazing time. Also if you’re a vegetarian the tour can be doable for you, just not the poutine stop, Anaïes went above and beyond to accommodate everyone.”

“I’m extremely happy with choosing this as my food tour option this time around in Montreal. I have done food tours all over the world and this was up there in my top three. Hard to compete with vineyards in Italy, but the organization was stellar, the tastings were great, all different sizes and not too heavy. I like the fact that they were promoting women run businesses and different neighbourhoods and not your typical, classic Montreal poutine or any of that other stuff. The market was also absolutely fantastic at the time of year that I went, which was October. We did the “secret tour” the following day with…”

A 3-hour private Montreal food walk with a local host, 6 to 8 tastings, and two drinks, covering Plateau, Mile End, Little Italy, and Jean-Talon Market.

“It was a walking food tour in Montréal. Our guide didn’t seem to have a plan and didn’t do his research. It was supposed to be 3 hours w 6 to 8 tastings. We walk around for an hour. The first stop was sold out of cronuts (4:30pm). The second stop was not open. We ended up having a very expensive dinner in Chinatown. Food was good but we could have purchased dumplings and noodles without a guide. We had to remind the guide our tour included drinks and then he scrambled around for 20min trying to find an “affordable” drink option. This is way overpriced for what we received.…”
