Our mission is to help the neighbourhoods
we love grow and prosper.
About
At the heart of our mission is the desire to connect visitors and curious minds to the culture, foods, and community of Quebec City as it is today.
In this way, our tour is an effort to balance out Quebec City’s more mainstream tourist attractions, offering an alternative perspective of the city, and a glimpse into a world that is full of culinary passion and entrepreneurship. We take pride in our people focused approach, which aims to connect tour participants to the people of the area.
Sustainable tourism philosophy
We practice a sustainable tourism philosophy where we ensure that each restaurant we visit is paid fairly for the great food they serve us, and that the wait staff receives proper gratuities for their service.
We keep our tours small (maximum 16 people per tour) which won’t overcrowd the street or overwhelm our tasting locations. We believe that our forward-thinking strategy will sustain an incredibly positive relationship between us, the restaurants, and the local residents.
Our philosophy ensures that our participants get the best experience possible. Finally, we carefully select only the most passionate and friendly local tour guides who can answer all your questions and give you the best tour possible.
