Embark on our Secret Food Tour through Montreal's bohemian Mile End, a vibrant neighborhood famed for its culinary excellence. Your expert guide will lead you to the city's best bites, starting with authentic wood-fired Montreal bagels before uncovering our exclusive Secret Dish, a delicious surprise that captures the true flavor of Montreal's soul.
From there, sink your teeth into a classic Montreal smoked meat sandwich, piled high at one of the neighborhood's most beloved counters. Next, savor a local spin on a Canadian classic: poutine with crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, and rich gravy. The surprises continue with cult-favorite street gnocchi from a legendary family-run walk-up window, smothered in slow-cooked tomato sauce.
The tour wraps up with a seasonal sweet: a hand-piped cannoli or a scoop of artisan ice cream. In fall and winter, round things off with an authentic Italian coffee to complete the experience.
