Jewish Neighborhood Food Tour

We had a great time eating our way through the Jewish neighborhood and down Saint Laurent with Melisa, who shared eight food samples over the course of this four hour tour from 10 AM - 2 PM (including stops at popular locations that would typically involve a long wait in line - not the case on the tour!) Don’t worry about lunch - the food provided was more than enough to fill our bellies! We made many stops along the way, during which we learned about key Jewish figures that contributed to the history of Montreal. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone who enjoys good food!

This was an incredible tour. The name doesn't do it justice because Melissa is a wealth of information about Montreal, the culture and of course the food. It was a great experience. Melissa was prepared and got us access to restaurants and shops where we could experience the culture and history.

I had a wonderful time on the Jewish Community Food Tour in Montreal with my mom! Melissa, the owner and our guide, was outstanding. She patiently answered all of our many questions and shared stories about the history, culture, and traditions of Montreal's Jewish community. I especially enjoyed visiting iconic institutions like Schwartz's, but some of my favorite moments were the unexpected surprises Melissa had planned along the way. The food was delicious, the tour was informative and engaging, and Melissa's passion for the community really shone through. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable way to experience Montreal!

This was a knowledgeable 4 hour tour of the old Jewish neighborhood with A LOT of food! It was very tasty. Our guide shared many stories about the history of the food, restaurants, and neighborhood.

This tour was a perfect blend of history and delicious food! Melissa did an amazing job explaining the history of Jewish immigration in the city and each stop was so tasty. Highly recommend!

If you use a walker or cane this is not for you My wife uses a walker and we couldn’t keep up with the group. After eating and the deli we fell behind the group quickly and had to take a taxi back to our hotel

Melissa was amazing, fun and informative. Very sweet and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Lots of fun surprises.

Melissa was the perfect guide! She took us to a bunch of places we wouldn’t have found on our own, and infused the tour with history as well as food. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour!

The food we sampled was very good and thoughtfully picked out (even pairing beverages w the food at the right places). Melissa was full of knowledge about the city, and not just its food culture (she was knowledgeable about that too). She has a friendly vibrant personality and is a great host. We had a bagel throw down, a smoked meat sandwich throw down and all kinds of other delicious samples including pastries and dessert. Melissa also helpfully provided book and movie references for different landmarks in the city, which we will be following up on. We were two adults w two kids and had a great time.

We had a wonderful small group tour with Melissa on the Jewish Neighborhood Food tour. There were many stops for tasty bites along the way. Be prepared for a long walking tour, but it is mostly on level ground and has plenty of stops. We learned so much about the experiences and culture of the early Jewish immigrants as well as the changes that have come about in more recent times. My favorite bites were trying the bagels, smoked meats, and chocolate babka! I highly recommend this tour.
