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.

We had an amazing time at this food tour. Donna-Lynn was a great guide telling us about the history of the area and mixing that with some canada must try items. We had a great time and it has been a highlight of our trip.

We really enjoyed this tour. Lucas did a great job, he is knowledgeable and kind, and we were introduced to many shops and restaurants that we would never found out. They are hidden gems and really a special treat of both stomach and brain. We got a good sense of the cultural and heritage of the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend it!
