Highly recommended tour. More than a food tour as it’s also a bit of a local history tour of Montreal. Louis was a great guide- very enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable. Would recommend! Dan.

Did the Jean Talon/Little Italy tour with Eric and it was amazing. He was knowledgeable; well liked by vendors and the group; and kept us moving at the perfect pace. The group was great; the food was awesome. Two thumbs enthusiastically up.

It’s quite nice to step outside the old Montreal and experience the local favorites. We had a very good group of people, and our guide Lucas was excellent. He made sure everyone was comfortable and involved. The restaurant owners and servers are also very kind. We loved all the food stops. It’s a great way to experience what Montreal locals have to offer.
Great Times

Good food tour, with a nice variety of food to try - including both traditional Montreal dishes, and some more obscure picks. Our guide, Youlia, was fantastic. She provided lots of information about the food, and Montreal - even giving us recommendations for other things to checkout after the tour. Only giving 4 stars as some of the stops were a little different to those mentioned when I booked. We still enjoyed it, but I would definitely have liked to have smoked meat and canoli on this tour.
