If you’re looking for a food tour in Montreal that doesn’t feel touristy—this is the one. Spade & Palacio’s “Beyond the Market” walking food tour delivers a fun, flavour-packed experience with a genuine local vibe.
Our guide, Chris, was fantastic—knowledgeable, personable, and full of great stories and humor. It felt more like a walk with a foodie friend than a formal tour. We explored cool neighborhoods, tasted amazing bites, and learned so much about the city along the way.
Pro tip: Come hungry! There’s plenty of food, and it’s all worth the appetite.
At the end, we got a super handy cheat sheet filled with insider recommendations—not just food, but also the best spots for drinks, shopping, cafes, live music, art, spas, and more. It was like a bonus mini guide to Montreal’s coolest local gems.
The tour was perfectly paced, super informative, and a whole lot of fun. I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the real Montreal—with full bellies and happy hearts.
Merci, Spade & Palacio! ????????????????️
