Under the Surface of Montreal's Chinatown: Guided Food Walking Tour

Melissa’s Chinatown food tour was a highlight of our trip to Montreal! She has a deep knowledge of the neighborhood and does a wonderful job weaving the history of the community with the food served at each stop, so the tour never felt like just a list of restaurants. She also made it genuinely engaging for our teenager, which isn’t easy to do with a history-heavy tour. She was incredibly generous with her time and never rushed us. Highly recommend if you're looking for both good food and context on the neighborhood. Five stars.

Great time! Fun group of people and excellent food. We experienced a lot of different types of food in Chinatown.

Fun time- Great tour! Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. A good amount of food, we were definitely full :)

Excellent tour guide, with extensive knowledge of the city's history, but also culinary details and culture. This food tour isn't just about food, it's about Chinatown's culture and history first, with food to pair with this information. It's a great mix should you like both walking tours and food tours. There is a good quantity of food, in 3 main sit-down locations + a few bites while walking, but it's mainly in the second part of the tour, the first is mainly a historical/cultural walking tour. This is different from most food tours I've been on, so to be noted if you want food, food, food and only food. For me, it was a super balance, so I'm super happy!

Amazing tour! Food stops were phenomenal and the history added a deeper understanding of the area I had never explored even though my family is still in the area!

Melissa was a fantastic guide. Her love of Montreal, it’s history and the knowledge of Chinese food and traditions was exceptional. Melissa’s enthusiasm was contagious. Lots of great food, too much by the end. The walk has lots of stops for food, and Melissa was conscious to stop and talk with benches close by, so suitable for people that are not able to walk very far. Best food tour yet.

The food was so o o good lots of variety and Melissa was an excellent guide. Don't miss this fantastic tour!!!

Going to a city where you don’t know anyone and not sure what to do so you don’t waste your time, it was nice to have a tour guide like Mélissa. Her smile was so inviting and the tour was amazing. Combining the history and food of Chinatown made it even more special. You got a glimpse into the past, present and future.

We toured China town and got a history of it and surrounding areas- we had fantastic food and tried things that I never would have known about. Our guide was charming and informative - the pace was perfect, and we had frequent breaks so it was not too taxing.

We saw things that we never would have discovered on our own. Melissa is a great guide with insights on the history and current events.
