    A Taste of Montreal with Wonderful Company!

    Great food and even better company! Michele was a wonderful guide: warm, engaging, and full of fascinating insights about Montreal. We loved discovering the city through its food and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Good food and even better company is the kind of afternoon we hope for in Mile End. Discovering a city through what it eats has a way of making it feel familiar fast, and we hope Montreal stays that way for you. Next time you're traveling, Secret Food Tours would love to show you another city!

    John from NY

    Eric was a Wonderful Tour Person. We learned a lot about Montreal’s history. The food stops were iconic! The tour is a “Don’t Miss”.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for calling this a don't miss! Montreal's history and its iconic food stops go hand in hand, and we're glad you got a good taste of both. Next time you're in Quebec, Secret Food Tours would love to have you back.

    Who is Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings best for?

    Is Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $85, above the $36 typical for similar experiences in Montreal.

    How much does Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 3,196 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings?

    +

    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 Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings?

    +

    Around 1,119 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings 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, The Original Old Montréal Walking Tour by Guidatour. 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 Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings?
