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.

First time!

5.00My husband and I were visiting Montreal for the first time and decided to try a food tour—also a first for us. We enjoyed it so much! Our tour guide was fantastic. Not only did he take us to some wonderful food stops, but he also shared fascinating stories and history about Montreal along the way. Our guide was Eric. My favorite food was the mici, a delicious blend of lamb and beef grilled on a skewer. The weather was beautiful as well, making it the perfect day for a walking tour. The time flew by because we were having such a great experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Montreal!
Great tour

5.00Eric was a really engaging guide and got us all coming up with answers to interesting facts. He kept us listening by covering all kinds of topics about Montreal in addition to food. It was very much focused street food eaten by the locals. Lots of fun!

5.00We had a great time with Donna-Lynn on this tour! We learned so much about the Mile End and, more importantly, had a lot of amazing food. Our favorites were the bagels, gnocchi, and smoked meat sandwich. Since we are from New Jersey, we were doubtful the bagels would live up to the hype, but they did. Thank you, Donna-Lynn, for an awesome afternoon!
Interesting and tasty!
