Wonderful tour! Hit all of the spots I wanted to try along with engaging commentary from our amazing guide Eric. He was easy to understand, well organized and super knowledgeable. Plenty of food we actually had to pace ourselves. Don’t feel like you need to finish everything. Definitely full by the end. Lovely area to walk around. Amazing weather. I’ll give Eric credit for that too he made the tour!

Eric was an excellent tour guide who was very familiar with the area and took us to places where we sampled a wide variety of great, delicious food. We had delicious bagels, spanakopita, gnocchi, smoked meat sandwiches, cannoli, and of course, some great Canadian poutine. Our favorite of all the stops was Café Gracie Mille, where the smoked meat sandwich and cannoli were supeb! PHighly recommend this fun and filling Tour.

I would like more information regarding the people and their foods . I would like the guide to speak to the crowd Very difficult to hear because she would look at the bulding that she was speaking about away from her group and talk.

Our family took the Mile End Food Tour with guide Lucas during our visit to Montreal. Lucas was personable, engaging, fun and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the food establishments in the area. His passion for Montreal came across through his enthusiasm while sharing information/trivia and promoting Montreal and its local businesses. The foods we sampled at each location were very good and diverse and gave us a great taste of local specialties. Well worth it - highly recommend!!
