    Great company and wonderful food

    John and Monica welcomed us warmly and taught us the secrets of making the perfect dim sum.John's dinner was delicious and accompanied by interesting and fun stories about his Mauritian and Canadian family/culture. It was such a pleasure to spend an evening with this lovely couple. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your Mauritian dim sum cooking class in Montreal with John and Monica. Sharing the secrets of traditional Mauritian recipes, along with stories about their blended family and culture, is something they truly love to do. It was a pleasure having you in their kitchen, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the food, the hands-on experience, and the warm hospitality. We hope to welcome you back for another fun and delicious Traveling Spoon cooking class, either in Montreal or anywhere around the world soon!

    Fabulous Cooking Lesson

    The host, John Chung, welcomed us & gave hands on cooking instructions. He also educated us about his home country, Mauritius.

    Response from the operator: Dear Stephanie, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a lovely review. We are so glad you had an immersive and engaging cultural and culinary experience with our hosts John and Monica during your cooking class in Montreal! We hope to welcome you again soon.

    An amazing honeymoon trip!

    Both of the Chungs were incredible people! We visited on our honeymoon and so appreciated the whole experience. We stayed extra long after dinner to just continue talking to them!! We so enjoyed our time and would strongly recommend anyone who is looking for this sort of experience to book now!

    Host canceled to go on holiday--and didn't tell us

    We reserved dinner and paid in advance, long before the agreed date. Six days before the dinner date I sent a message via Traveling Spoon and immediately got a boilerplate email from them advising that John went on holiday and the dinner was canceled. So, I wonder: 1) how long ago were the host's plans changed? And 2) why couldn't someone tell us? All in all, pretty lame. Is a boilerplate email the best Traveling Spoon could do?

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your booking. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have your reservation canceled on short notice, especially after booking and paying in advance. Unfortunately, the host had to go on holiday, and we regret that this was not communicated sooner. We are reviewing our communication process to ensure that guests are notified immediately in the future and that cancellations are handled more personally. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to another cooking experience soon.

    Delicious homecooked food made with love

    An absolutely amazing experience and SUCH delicious food. John was incredibly kind and a very talented cook - he accommodated both a gluten free person and vegetarian and made the best tofu I have ever had. It was such a joy to talk with him and his daughter. He has such a passion for cooking and it was obvious from the taste of his food that he pours his heart into what he cooks. 10/10 would recommend.

    Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 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 Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class?

    +

    Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class 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 Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class?

    +

    Included: Home cooked meal in a local home; and Private cooking class and dinner with your host John. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class?

    +

    Please meet your host at his apartment in the Hochelaga neighborhood of Montreal. His apartment is just in front of the metro station, Joliette. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Montreal Home Dining & Dim Sum Cooking Class if the weather is bad?

    +
