Fantastic tour and Eric was amazing. Food was really delicious and things I typically wouldn’t have ordered on my own. Eric is also mindful to allergies & food sensitivities, which is nice. All the food was well spaced out and we were stuffed at the end. Highly recommend!

It was a fun informative tour with Eric. The food was great, the places we went were small and homey. The only thing I want to mention is there was no smoked meat stop as was mentioned on some of the literature. Not a big deal to me though.
This tour, led by the delightful Louis, was a Fun food tour in an eclectic neighborhood.

A wonderful, off the beaten path, food tour. A great ethnic neighborhood, Mile End, for the tour which really made it unique. Yulia, our guide, was great. Knowledgeable, informative, fun and energetic! She is proud of her job and where she lives, and that shows through in her tour! A truly fun, engaging and, most importantly, yummy tour!
Fantastic tour with Eric!!
