Food tour with Rob Michelin Trained Chef

The food tour with Chef Rob was excellent, I would highly recommend. We always do food tours and this tour more than lived up to our expectations. We visited the Jean Talon market, this was so interesting seeing it through Chef Rob’s eyes. Especially loved how Chef Rob, embraced all the different nationalities in Montreal and explained how this has influenced food culture in the city. Chef Robs passion for food and the interwoven cultures of Montreal, but his knowledge is extensive and generously shared with anyone seeking to learn. Fascinating tour thanks Chef Rob Alan & Helen Henderson

Operator response

We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Chef Rob. His passion for food, culture, and sharing his knowledge is what makes these experiences so special. We’re delighted that he was able to make your time in Montreal so fascinating and memorable! We hope to welcome you on another culinary adventure in the future.

Great tastes of Montreal

Rob did a great job with our family of four on Dec. 26th, making arrangements given the market was closed. He showed us other areas of Montreal and then shared with us delicious food and wine which were all fabulous. We appreciate his hard work and recommend the tour highly.

Operator response

Dear Lori, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Regarding hotel pickup and drop-off, these are listed as exclusions on our Viator listing, and we apologize if this caused any confusion. We will review this to see if the wording can be adjusted to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Additionally, while the tour description mentions Chef Robert, we include a note in the additional information section stating that, on days when Robert is unavailable, a guide personally trained by him — such as Catherine — will lead the experience. We’re glad to hear that you found Catherine to be an amazing guide. It also appears that the included food samples matched what was outlined in the listing. However, we regret if any details were unclear or caused disappointment. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’re committed to providing exceptional experiences. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly at reservations@travelingspoon.com Warm regards, Aashi

Amazing food tour in Montreal!

Chef Rob is a delight. The tour exceeded my expectations with history, culture, and detailed insights into the food scene of Montreal and Quebec. We weaved in and out of stalls and shops as he picked up items that we shared at tables along the way. I highly recommend the wine add-on as it paired perfectly with the arrays of local cheeses he picked. I also highly recommend his Supper Club, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Even as a solo traveler, I felt welcomed into the various groups and met some new friends. Chef Rob even directed me to some of his favorite restaurants, each being innovative, inventive, and not corporate. I loved the experience!!

Listen up, food adventurers!

This was our very favorite activity while visiting Montreal. Rob guided us through Jean Talon, a very large food market and then to another, Marché Atwater, explaining the various cuisines and what chefs look for when buying in preparation for their dishes. One should come hungry as Rob had us sample a host of foods from around the world. Although it was not “private”, we did enjoy the three ladies who joined us. A bonus for us was that post tour, Rob was heading back in the same direction as our hotel and offered to accompany us on the 30 minute walk. As wine enthusiasts, we stopped in a liquor store nearby and he curated a selection of wine for us to consider. Very good! Additionally, he helped us secure reservations for two nights of dinner that were outstanding and where more locals/chefs dine. We would definitely recommend this tour. In fact, we will plan to book his Supper Club next time we are in town.

Food explosion

Seeing the amazing markets and hearing about the history and different cultures. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a chef’s perspective of the unusual foods and how to use them in cooking.
