    Best food tour in Montreal

    We absolutely loved our Mile End food tour with Eric! This was one of the highlights of our time in Montreal. Eric was so personable, funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the neighbourhood. He made the tour feel less like a formal tour and more like exploring Montreal with a really knowledgeable local friend. We learned so much about Mile End, its history, culture, and food scene, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. I loved that he focused on businesses that were your mom and pop, family owned and it was so special. And the food was SO good! We got to try places we probably never would have found on our own, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Eric felt like family right away, it was very connecting and funny, his sense of humour was a big star for me, I really enjoyed him and all his personal stories and experience. It was a truly fun and beautiful time. If you’re visiting Montreal, I would 100% recommend doing this tour — and if you can get Eric as your guide, even better. Such a fun, delicious, memorable way to experience Mile End. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

    Response from the operator: We loved sharing the local scene with you and seeing you enjoy the experience. Secret Food Tours is about bringing people together around the things that make a place interesting and memorable. We’d be happy to have you back!

    Georgia was the best!

    Georgia was absolutely amazing! I learned so much about Mile End. Big portions! 10/10

    Response from the operator: It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the variety throughout the tour! We aim to make each stop part of a broader look at the city and its local character. We’re glad Secret Food Tours could be part of your visit.

    Montreal Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Montreal Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 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 Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End 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 Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 284 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.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Montreal Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End?

    +

    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 Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End 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 Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End?

    +

    Around 99 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 Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End 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 Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End?

    +

    Included: Seasonal Sweet: Hand-Piped Cannoli (Winter) / Artisanal Ice Cream (Summer); Our delicious Secret Dish; Montreal-style bagel; Street gnocchi; and Poutine. Not included: Hotel Pick Up and Drop Off; and Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Montreal Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End offered in?

    +

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

    Is Montreal Private Food Tour: Taste 7 Dishes in Trendy Mile End wheelchair or stroller accessible?
