Itinerary

Discover Montreal’s food culture with Michelin-trained Chef Robert on a guided food tour through the city’s vibrant markets and neighborhoods. Sample a variety of local foods and drinks, explore Jean-Talon Market from a chef’s perspective, and learn about the cultures, ingredients, and culinary traditions that shape Montreal’s diverse food scene. This small-group, non-private, Montreal food culture tour has been curated by a Michelin star-trained chef and award-winning food and travel journalist. You will eat from a selection of artisan producers, butchers, cheesemongers that can't easily be found on Google. It focuses on the cuisines, home cooking, and street foods of Montreal’s diverse immigrant communities - Italian, North African, French, Asian, Quebecois, and more - visa the setting of North America's largest daily farmer's market. Your Montreal food tour includes tastes of 9-10 local foods and 1-2 glasses of sommelier-chosen wine, craft cider or beer. Please note that on days that Robert is sick or unavailable, an equally wonderful guide and partner personally trained by Robert will be your guide.
