Italy is world-famous for its cuisine, but in Trieste food tells a deeper story. This walking small-group food tour invites you to discover a city where the Mediterranean meets Central Europe, and where every bite reflects a unique blend of cultures and traditions.
At each stop, you will explore the rich culinary heritage of Trieste and immerse yourself into its flavours, identity, and soul. The dishes may vary depending on the season and availability, but every bite will offer an authentic taste of Trieste’s rich gastronomic identity — balanced between land and sea, tradition and innovation.
The tour ends with a refined sweet moment: coffee or artisanal chocolate in a cozy Triestine café, where you can learn the city’s timeless café culture.
This tour is ideal for curious travellers who appreciate quality, authenticity, and the pleasure of good company.

5.00This was one of the best food tours we have ever been on. Our guide, Sveva was so knowledgeable and helpful. We were a small group of 5 and went to the most creative restaurants with a great explanation of the food and customs of the area. We had a sampling which was not too filling and also learned so much history about the area.

5.00We absolutely loved our food tour in Trieste! Every stop was delicious — fresh, local, and beautifully presented. Our guide was fantastic — so knowledgeable about both the food and the rich history of the city. I especially loved the farm-to-table focus; it really connected us to the region and its traditions. As a wonderful bonus, she even sent us a list of recipes afterward so we could recreate some of the dishes at home. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip — highly recommend it to anyone visiting Trieste!
Great experience

5.00Our tour guide, Sveva, gave us an incredible experience. Her selection of dishes for us to try were delicious and her knowledge of the history of Trieste was amazing. Most fun was she taught us the way the locals toast before they drink.
