There’s no better way to learn about the history and culture of a community than to eat its food. On our Newfoundland Food Tour, you will walk and eat your way through downtown St. John’s. Newfoundland and Labrador has one of the most unique food cultures in Canada. Long known for seafood, wild game, and delicious traditional meals, the province has a long list of mouth-watering ingredients and recipes. From a CFA finding success selling beloved Newfoundland pastry to a haunted pub that inspired a TV set to a former fruit stand literally built on the ashes of the Great Fire, we’ll explore the people, stories, and food that make the city unique.

Come hungry! If you arrive gut-foundered, by the time we finish our walk, you’ll be stogged. And yes...we'll teach you what those local terms mean. ;)

PLEASE NOTE: this tour is in St. John's, Newfoundland NOT Saint John, New Brunswick.

Dress for the weather as some of the tour is spent with the tour leader explaining history and context outside.

We had a challenge with our booked tour. Pierre and his team worked with us to get a great resolution. Thanks for your help.
Foodies Delight - with tons of tales and tidbits to tantalize. A must “do” for anyone coming to St John’s. Lots of fun!

The guide Tira was excellent! Also, come hungry! Loads of food! Interesting history. Loads of yarns, enough to make a sweater. Be prepared for stairs but not a strenuous walk otherwise.
