Begin your culinary adventure in Old Montreal within a magnificent former bank, now a charming café. Here, you'll savor a classic smoked salmon bagel, setting a sophisticated tone for your experience.
Next, meander through the historic cobblestone streets to a local delicatessen. Indulge in a Québec cheese and charcuterie board, showcasing the rich flavors of the region. (Note: on certain days, this tasting is replaced with a sweet treat.)
Prepare for a delightful surprise at our secret location, a hidden gem cherished by locals and often missed by visitors. Nestled on a historic street, this Greek taverna offers authentic Mediterranean cuisine, featuring fresh salads, homemade dips, and grilled specialties. The exact dishes remain a mystery until you arrive.
No exploration of Montreal is complete without experiencing poutine. We keep it traditional with crispy fries, authentic squeaky cheese curds, and a rich, savory gravy – the ultimate comfort food of the province!
Your tour concludes with two delightful stops in close proximity. First, taste pure Québec maple syrup, directly from the source. Then, indulge in a scoop of creamy maple syrup ice cream, a perfect sweet ending.
