Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine & 7 Tastings
Description
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.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, Alfredo. Please know that situations like this are very uncommon for us. In this instance, the guide assigned to your tour had an unexpected emergency, and unfortunately, we did not have enough time to arrange an alternate guide before the tour was due to begin. While this was an unusual circumstance, we understand the frustration it caused. We also made sure that you received a full refund for the booking. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention as we continue to refine the experience for our guests. We would also be happy to welcome you back and give you the opportunity to experience the Montreal Mile End Food Tour as it is normally intended.
We went to the meeting destination and no one was there, if they send you to a theater in the middle of nowhere, DO NOT GO. DO NOT PAY. AND IF YOU DO, CALL THE BANK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
