Overview

We visit the less touristy hoods around the Jean-Market on our food tour. From a single mom-no-pop shop we learn about our Latino community and sit down at a Salvadoran neighbourhood joint where locals go. We learn about the different communities that make up the area and pop into Little Italy for an iconic bakery when open.

The Jean-Talon market is the largest of its kind in the country. We try goat cheeses that are so farm to table they remind us of that scene from Portlandia. We visit a spice den, point out other great vendors, try some of the best charcuteries in the province as well as a few surprises like a forager and more depending on the season! You’ll want to go back to the market after the tour.

In Little Italy we explore the streets and area, sip third wave joe and learn about our progressive coffee scene. We head to a bean to bar award winning chocolate “factory” that will showcase some of the best stuff Montréal has to offer, period.

My teenage son and I joined the walking food tour this past weekend and had an absolutely amazing experience!! Our tour guide Chris was very interesting and knowledgeable. We got to try many authentic foods from local spots and learn about the culture of Montreal. I really enjoyed the market, trying fresh meats and cheeses, as well as sorbet. And visiting restaurants in the surrounding area. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!!

This was an incredible food tour, both in quality and quantity! We visited at least 8 different places, ranging from Salvadorian food to Sicilian desserts to coffee. We learned a lot about Montreal and the different cultures that make it unique. Our tour guide, Rodrigo, was excellent! If you have to choose one tour to do in Montreal, make it this one!

The food tour was one of the best we have done. There was so much food to try! And it was not touristy food, but rather what the locals eat. We tasted everything from pupusas from El Salvador to cannolis, sorbet, to local meats and cheeses. YUM! The whole family gave this tour a 10! Rodrigo was fantastic - gave us lots of information and was very social and engaging. He made the tour even better! We highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful experience. Danny was the BEST- informative, funny & just a wonderful ambassador for the city. What a difference it makes when the tour is by a local. All the food was amazing & what a variety! After the tour we went to a bakery Danny recommended, got baguettes & then back to the cheese booth he had taken us to earlier. Picked up some fruit as well & it was the perfect snack later that night. We also popped into one of the local shops Danny had pointed out while walking & my daughter got a print that will be a wonderful reminder of our trip.

After 3 day’s of a jam packed itinerary in Montreal (art galleries , a hockey game, a concert, touring old Montreal and the port) we had considered cancelling our pre booked Beyond the market tour to rest and recuperate for an afternoon. Boy are we glad we didn’t as we were the only two people that day and had a wonderful intimate tour with the charming Rodrigo or Rod as he likes to be called. He had a wonderful smile and pleasant disposition. He was very attentive and knowledgeable thru out the tour and we had a lovely afternoon. We purchased a few items for some of the establishments we visited to bring home as they were so good. We are so glad we went and recommended this tour to anyone that likes food and good company.
