Our Guest Reviews

A couple of issues with our experience. First, we were not aware that the tour began and ended in Mile End. Your website needs to update. We had a car but we’re under the impression that the tour started in Mile End and ended in or near old town near our hotel. We unnecessarily took an Uber when we could have drove. Second, your your guide, very nice and on her first day, did not check hours of operation so we did not get to try smoked meat. I would have a hard time recommending your tour for these two reasons.

Maria was sweet, but not very knowledgeable about the history of the food, the neighborhood, etc. Also, we were served three regular size portions of food within the first 30 minutes. It was impossible to enjoy, because we were rushed and full. We ended up wasting a lot of the food. In addition, Maria mentioned political and religious references that were either not appropriate or not factually accurate. Subsequently, we left the tour after 4 foods, and didn't get to the last two.

Our Mile End Food Walking tour was fantastic! Our host Mustafa was full of not just food information, but history too. Every spot had delicious food. We were absolutely stuffed by the time we got to our final destination. Here are some of the tastes we tried: Bagels, Greek, gnocchi, poutine, ice cream, lentil soup, and Schwartz's smoked meat sandwich. Amazing! Highly recommend!

Lovely knowledgeable guide Mostafa, who shared history, local knowledge and insights of Mile End and Montreal and took us around the world in eateries to sample Montreal’s eclectic foodie scene.
