    Beyond the Recipe!

    6 friends, spent an afternoon with Chef Rob! What a treat. After the class, the six of us discussed how he taught us the true essence of cooking. What really matters in food prep, ratios for making any sauce, how to efficiently operate our own kitchens. Chef was open, and caring about giving us tools we can use in our everyday lives, in our own kitchens. Something we did not realize we needed but are grateful we learned!

    An amazing experience

    If you are looking to learn a thing or two about cooking, Chef Rob is the man to meet. He covers the basics clearly (helpful for me) while also sharing finer points that more experienced cooks (like my wife) can appreciate. He is direct without being unkind, and generous with his time. The food itself was fantastic. After the class, he went out of his way to secure us (on extremely short notice) a table at an excellent restaurant and put together a first-rate itinerary for the next day. I recommend Chef Rob to anyone passing through that is looking for a unique experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your cooking experience with Chef Rob. It’s wonderful to know that he was able to make the class engaging and useful for both of you, whether you were looking to learn the basics or pick up some finer culinary tips. We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the food and appreciated Chef Rob’s generosity and hospitality beyond the class. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. It sounds like he went above and beyond to help make your time in Montreal extra special! Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you on another culinary adventure in the future.

    Great experience

    It IS really an experience to have if you are ready to discover the real food experience: cooking, sauces, Michelin stars, asian cooking... and: if you REALLY want to eat great food made by a connoisseur, that's the place (local food, great ecologic values...). The Chef is very routined at explaining you the real thing and, in a more intimate way: in letting you taste the outcome... Great experience. Really worth it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed this culinary journey and that it gave you a deeper appreciation for the food, techniques, and flavors. It is wonderful to know that you valued both the chef’s expertise and the opportunity to learn in a more intimate, hands-on setting. Experiences like these are all about connecting with the food in a meaningful way, from understanding the ingredients to tasting the final dishes. We are especially glad that the focus on local cuisine and thoughtful sourcing stood out to you. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you on another Traveling Spoon experience in the future.

    Only ok, not worth money

    It was only ok and definitely not worth the money. The wine pairing was 3 cans of beer split between 6 people, a terrible cider and a wine that didn’t pair well with meal and was supposedly a treat but not if you have a decent palate. They less $5 of food prepared for consumption and elementary cooking lesson wasn’t worth the money.

    Response from the operator: Hi Kelli, Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that the wine pairing and cooking portion did not meet your expectations. Please know we take your review seriously and are looking into this as this is not the level of quality we aim to provide. We know Chef Rob has received wonderful reviews in the past and we look forward to understanding what happened. Feel free to reach out to us to share any other details you can. Warm regards, Cherry

    Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.

    How much does Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert cost?

    +

    Prices start at $249 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montreal is not rushed.

    Is Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montreal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montreal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montreal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Original Montreal Mural Arts Tour by Spade & Palacio, Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montreal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montreal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert?

    +

    Included: Cooking class with your host Michelin-star trained Chef Robert; Tasting portions of artisanal wine/beer/cider; and 3-Course Gastronomic Tasting Menu. Not included: Hotel pick up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert offered in?

    +

    Is Montreal Cooking Class & Wine Tasting with Michelin Chef Robert wheelchair or stroller accessible?
