Description

Montréal is a culinary destination and has rightfully gained that reputation over the years. We’re not talking where to get the best bagels, poutine, or smoked meat in Montréal. Let the other tour companies take you there….psst…Google will tell you. Our philosophy is if you’re eating a Philly cheesesteak on a Philly food tour, you’re on the wrong tour. We visit the less touristy hoods around the Jean-Market on our food tour. From a single mom-and-pop shop, we learn about our Latino community and sit down at a Salvadoran neighborhood joint where locals go. We learn about the different communities that make up the area like the Vietnamese and Maghrebis, and then pop into Little Italy for an iconic bakery when open. The Jean-Talon market is the largest of its kind in the country. We try goat cheeses that are so farm-to-table, they remind us of that scene from Portlandia. We visit a spice den, point out other great vendors, and try some of the best charcuteries in the province as well as a few surprises like a forager. Depending on the season, our stops here vary though all have one thing in common – they’re delicious local products. You’ll want to go back to the market after the tour. In Little Italy we explore the streets and area, sip third-wave joe, and learn about our progressive coffee scene. We head to a bean-to-bar award-winning chocolate “factory” that will showcase some of the best stuff Montréal has to offer, period. It’s kind of like learn, eat, see, and repeat 7 or 8 times with a local who is a professional guide that won’t put you to sleep. We hand out our recommendations list for more of the best restaurants, cafés, bars, shopping, and more. This is hands down the best food tour in Montréal!
