Itinerary
Taste the flavors of South Florida as we get you off-the-beaten path and into locally owned restaurants. We'll get you started with a traditional Cuban guava and cheese pastry as you enjoy the waterfront views. That's what our food tour is all about...local flavors, local stories, local sites. You'll feel like you're walking around downtown West Palm Beach with a local who's taking you to their favorite restaurants and introducing you to fun chefs and restaurant owners along the way. Speaking of walking, you'll be walking a total of 1.5 miles over 2.5 hours, so expect to walk about 3 blocks between each restaurant. Along the way, we'll share some crazy stories from our past and we'll learn about the vibrant murals around town. FYI - we do sit down at all of the restaurants, and restrooms are available.
On the way to Pistache French Bistro, we'll walk thru our beautiful waterfront park, and we'll share a bit of history of our area. Pistache French Bistro is one of the oldest restaurants downtown, and we'll enjoy a traditional croque monsieur as we dine in a beautiful restaurant overlooking the waterfront park.
Salento Coffee is a favorite local coffee shop, and it's owned by a husband and wife team from Colombia. Jaime shows our guests how to make a particular type of Colombian coffee, and then we all share in a delicious Colombian tradition together.
It's time for tropical fruit show and tell, and you'll taste and learn about coconuts, tamarinds and key limes. Enjoy a coconut cutting demonstration that promises to be quite memorable. In fact, the next time you see a coconut, if you don't remember West Palm Beach, we'll be surprised. You'll finish your day with an authentic key lime pie, and just remember...key lime pie should never be green.
enjoy three of their most popular dishes paired with a refreshing cocktail.

Excellent tour. So much good food and cocktails. Our host Raheem was so entertaining and knowledgeable. Would do this tour again!
The best compliment of all? “I’d do this tour again!” Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the food, cocktails, and all the stories along the way. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Raheem—he’ll love hearing them. Cheers to your next food tour adventure!
If you're looking for a food tour in West Palm Beach, this is it. We had an amazing time sampling great food while learning about the city's history and local gems. Our guide, Raheem, was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel fun and effortless. His enthusiasm and storytelling really brought each stop to life. Highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals looking to experience West Palm Beach in a unique (and delicious) way!
“A food tour you don’t want to miss.” We couldn’t have written a better headline ourselves! Thank you for the wonderful review. It means a lot that you’d recommend us to both visitors and locals. After all, there are plenty of hidden gems that even longtime residents haven’t discovered yet.
Rakim the tour guide is enthusiastic and talented at what he does. If everyone in the world had this level of pride in their work, the world would be a different place. He absolutely made sure our group had a wonderful time and made my partner feel very special for his birthday. The small business owners we met during our trip were also absolutely worth supporting. So glad we did this tour.
What an incredible compliment—thank you! We love hearing that Raheem made your partner's birthday extra special. And we couldn't agree more about our amazing small business owners. They're the heart of our tours, and introducing guests to the passionate people behind the restaurants is one of our favorite parts of what we do. Thanks for braving the Florida heat with us! The good news is our walks are short, our restaurants are delightfully (some might say overly) air-conditioned, and the delicious food makes every step worthwhile.
This was an awesome mix of great food and history. Good value.
Great food, local history, and a good value—we'll take that all day long! We like to think our tours are a little like four experiences in one: a city tour, a full meal, a history lesson, and a taste of West Palm Beach's culture. Thanks for noticing, and thanks for the great review!
I had an excellent experience with Raheem, he was very informative, fun, helpful, and friendly. The food was amazing, there was a variety of food, drink, and dessert to try including a cuban pastry, fish taco, ice cream, French ham sandwich, dumplings, meat skewer and veggies, fresh coconut and tamarind juice, and key lime tart. They were sample sizes of each of the items so I thought it was a good portion of foods so that you won't feel overly stuffed at the end. Overall, I did think it was pricey but it was nice to stroll through downtown to try all of the food and learn about the history the area. I would recommend to book this tour earlier in the trip just in case you would like to go back to visit one of the restaurants, we ended up going to Shanghai'd for dinner!
Thank you for the thoughtful review and for sharing so many of your favorite stops! We're especially glad you made it back to Shanghai'd for dinner—that's exactly what we hope happens after the tour. Our goal is to create an experience that goes well beyond the food. From enjoying a full meal at several locally owned restaurants to learning the history of West Palm Beach, discovering local favorites, and finding places to revisit during your stay, we love hearing that guests leave feeling they experienced so much more than lunch. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to West Palm Beach!
A fantastic Food Tour with excellent food at every stop! Raheem was the best guide! He shared lots of history and fun facts. We have done several food tours in the USA and Europe and this was one of the best!
One of the best food tours in the USA and Europe? Now that’s a compliment! We love hearing from experienced food tour guests, and we’re thrilled the food, stories, and Raheem made this one of your favorites. Thanks for the “don’t miss it” recommendation—we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
This was hands down the BEST walking food tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and personable. The food was amazing with bigger than normal portions. 10/10.
Wow—“best walking food tour” is music to our ears! We’re especially thrilled to hear that we lived up to our reputation as USA Today’s #1 Food Tour in the Country.
