Excellent tour guide Alejandra! She was knowledgeable and brought a very fun energy. Overall a fun day out eating delicious food and exploring Mile End.
I’m giving this a 4 of 5 because the food was good but not above and beyond, nor was it very unique to Montreal (except the poutine). The fried empanada was delicious as were the gnocchi but not something you can’t find outside of Montreal. We left the tour somewhat satisfied but still seeking out unique Montreal bites. For example I would’ve loved to try a Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich I’ve heard about. The poutine place we went to on the tour was a chain, and I thought the dish was just OK. Would’ve been a highlight to go to a more authentic / local place with higher quality poutine. The tour also felt light on French cuisine given Quebec’s history and the local food it’s known for (I was recommended to try local favorites such as tourtiere, maple baked beans, and beaver tails but none were on the tour).
