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.

2.00PROS - There were some good spots - the bagel and the greek phylo were amazing. CONS - our tour guide was way too chatty about his personal life, mentioned his ex at least 10X, and before the final stop went on a tangent about how important tipping is, the sandwich stop was disappointing.

5.00We had an amazing experience on the Secret Food Tour in Montreal with Dominique as our guide. She was excellent—full of energy, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Montreal’s food culture and Canadian heritage. The tour included six fantastic stops, many of which were hidden gems and iconic local restaurants that we never would have discovered on our own. We were encouraged to try foods outside of our usual comfort zone, and every stop was delicious and memorable. Dominique kept the entire group engaged throughout the tour, answered all of our questions, and shared fascinating stories about the city, its history, and its culinary traditions. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her pride in her Canadian heritage added a special touch to the experience. If you’re visiting Montreal and want a fun, informative, and delicious way to explore the city, I highly recommend this tour. Dominique made it an unforgettable experience!
Fantastique!

5.00Food stops unique to the area. My husband enjoyed the poutine the most and I am torn between the pear ice cream and spanakopita. Eric was fun and I always love chatting with the other guests!
