Mile End Montreal Food Tour

What to expect from the Mile End Montreal Food Tour?

One-of-a-Kind Food Tasting — On our 3-hour guided tour of the Mile End neighbourhood, we visit six unique tasting locations. Each one ensures that you will enjoy fresh and exciting flavours. We sample a variety of food from the Mile End, including everything from decadent Québécois chocolates to fresh homemade tomato sauce. The food samples included are enough for a hearty and satisfying lunch. Our tasting locations range from an ambitious urban butcher, to the famous St.Viateur bagel, and even to a fully sustainable vegan eatery! All food tastings are included in the ticket price. We even throw in a water bottle to keep you hydrated.

Historic & Cultural Experience – As you take in the eclectic streets of the Mile End, you’ll get the chance to experience life as a native Montrealer, or should we say a native “Mile-Ender.” Our knowledgeable tour guides highlight the fascinating and offbeat history of this rich cultural hub. Our tour presents how the Mile End became home to the most artists per capita in all of North America (seriously). We also discuss the historical and cultural significance of many landmarks found in the bustling sector. The Mile End has become the epitome of Montreal’s multicultural standard, and our tour touches upon the deep history of immigration and settlement embedded in these streets. We can guarantee it will be the most interesting stroll you’ve taken in a while! In addition to this, our enthusiastic local guides share their knowledge, recommendations, and personal anecdotes about how the Mile End became the intriguing neighbourhood it is today!

Please note that the Mile End Food Tour includes vegan and gluten-free options during the summer season. In the winter we offer reduced ticket prices for those requiring such dietary restrictions as a result of the reduced quantity of food. We invite those who are gluten intolerant to join our Old Montreal Food Tour, which features a shop specializing in gluten-free foods.

ENOUGH FOOD?

If you’re an early bird, we suggest you have a small breakfast before coming. If not, you can also skip your breakfast and come directly to the food tour.

SALES DEADLINE

Tickets must be purchased before 10 AM on any given tour date. We recommend booking your tickets in advance as most of the tours tend to sell out.

PARKING

Avoid driving to Mile End at all costs. Parking is almost impossible to find. If you need to come by car, we recommend that you find parking in another neighbourhood and take public transit.
