5.00We are family from DC and love Jose Andre’s food. So this tour was perfect for us. Dash- our guide- was very informative and interesting. We enjoyed the food and the drinks. Overall, this was a lot of fun. It just felt like the food we got was very little compared to the price we paid for the tour. If the tour was intended to introduce Jose’s cuisine to travelers, it did not do any justice to his food. However, since we are familiar with his cuisine, it did not matter to us.
Excellent food tour !

Dash was a great tour...

5.00Dash was a great tour guide. He told interesting stories about Jose Andres, the cuisines and cultures for each restaurant, and several buildings in the area. I left the tour very full, but I could see someone much larger than 5'2" me feeling less satisfied. I did not have the alcohol pairing, but others on the tour did. If you cannot handle 4 full cocktails in 3 hours, think hard about paying extra for the drinks. They did look delicious, but I wouldn't have been able to do it. We did not get anything sweet during the tour, so I did say it would be interesting if the tour included a dessert. Otherwise, the food tour is a fantastic way of trying a diverse array of foods while hearing about a formidable and interesting chef.
