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.

3.00If you message that tourists should show up 15mins early, so should you. Good depiction of local fare. Food was heavy and we left feeling bloated. Restaurant staff were friendly and accommodating. Use a microphone, if you walk in the front, folks cannot hear you. Political commentary such a turn off. Mentioning your atheism and digs at other countries, shouldn't be used in your jokes. We're tourists, chances are you'll offend someone. Be kind and inclusive. Coffee was mentioned at the time of booking, it was not included. Mentioning tips is tacky. Most tourists know what to do if they feel the need.
Our guide, Donna Lynn, was knowledgeable and friendly and made sure each person had a great time!!
