Both tours are amazing in their own way. We offer both tours to make it easier for guests to fit our food tour into their schedule. The Mile End Food Tour (daytime) is longer and invites guests into the historic Rialto Theatre, Lawrence butcher shop featuring locally raised meat, and a few other hidden gems. The Evening Mile End Tour invites guests to experience the Mile End’s urban evening culture when the streets come alive. This tour is shorter, but still incorporates all the delicious food stops that’ll leave you full and satisfied. We even throw in a craft beer sample to kick off your evening!
If you enjoyed the craft beer on the tour, we recommend going to the microbreweries Dieu du Ciel or Siboire which are great breweries with a huge variety of craft beer. If you happen to still be hungry after our tour (which never happens!), Lawrence restaurant is a favourite local restaurant offering locally sourced meat and produce. For those who want to go dancing later on, Datcha is a quaint venue with great electronic music.
Absolutely! This tour is shorter than our other tours, making it easier for children to stay entertained. Children love the variety of food (especially the ice cream), all the fun facts about the Mile End, and the animated tour guide. However, they won’t be sampling the craft beer!
