Amazing experience - My teenage son and I joined the walking food tour this past weekend and had an absolutely amazing experience!! Our tour guide Chris was very interesting and knowledgeable. We got to try many authentic foods from local spots and learn about the culture of Montreal. I really enjoyed the market, trying fresh meats and cheeses, as well as sorbet. And visiting restaurants in the surrounding area. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!!

So much food! - This was an incredible food tour, both in quality and quantity! We visited at least 8 different places, ranging from Salvadorian food to Sicilian desserts to coffee. We learned a lot about Montreal and the different cultures that make it unique. Our tour guide, Rodrigo, was excellent! If you have to choose one tour to do in Montreal, make it this one!

Fantastic Food Tour - Highly Recommend it! - The food tour was one of the best we have done. There was so much food to try! And it was not touristy food, but rather what the locals eat. We tasted everything from pupusas from El Salvador to cannolis, sorbet, to local meats and cheeses. YUM! The whole family gave this tour a 10! Rodrigo was fantastic - gave us lots of information and was very social and engaging. He made the tour even better! We highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding tour. - We had a wonderful experience. Danny was the BEST- informative, funny & just a wonderful ambassador for the city. What a difference it makes when the tour is by a local. All the food was amazing & what a variety! After the tour we went to a bakery Danny recommended, got baguettes & then back to the cheese booth he had taken us to earlier. Picked up some fruit as well & it was the perfect snack later that night. We also popped into one of the local shops Danny had pointed out while walking & my daughter got a print that will be a wonderful reminder of our trip.

Lovely afternoon, sweet, creamy and tasty!!! - After 3 day’s of a jam packed itinerary in Montreal (art galleries , a hockey game, a concert, touring old Montreal and the port) we had considered cancelling our pre booked Beyond the market tour to rest and recuperate for an afternoon. Boy are we glad we didn’t as we were the only two people that day and had a wonderful intimate tour with the charming Rodrigo or Rod as he likes to be called. He had a wonderful smile and pleasant disposition. He was very attentive and knowledgeable thru out the tour and we had a lovely afternoon. We purchased a few items for some of the establishments we visited to bring home as they were so good. We are so glad we went and recommended this tour to anyone that likes food and good company.

Perfect way to explore the culture of Montreal - Outstanding food tour! We would never have found these interesting and delicious food spots without doing this tour. Danny, a Montreal native, was knowledgeable and fun. Kept us moving, eating and entertained. We sampled everything from fiddleheads and local goat cheese to Italian cannolis and Salvadorian pupusas. Great way to explore a less touristy and culturally rich area of Montreal. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience!! - Hello! Last Saturday, I took the gastronomic tour of Marché Jean Talon and Little Italy with Danny from Spade et Palacio. It was a wonderful and incredible experience. A wonderful discovery. We sampled Salvadoran dishes, a milk and cinnamon drink, Italian pastries, cannoli, Quebec cheeses, mushrooms, charcuterie, local meats and coffee. To round off this incredible tour, we visited a chocolate factory and had several tastings... Orange, milk and nut chocolates, to name but a few. The tour guide, Danny, has an encyclopedic knowledge of Montreal and its neighborhoods.... He told us the history of the cultural communities living near the Marché Jean Talon, as well as the story of each product manufacturer we visited. It's a visit I highly recommend! An incredible experience to discover the flavors of Montreal. ADC

Exceeded our expectations! - Pascal was an absolute gem, we enjoyed the Food Tour on a girls trip. He put so much attention into the little details, getting to know us and ensure we were having a great time. We had a friend on crutches and he checked on her often, making sure the pace was good.. The pupusa was our favorite but everything was amazing. Wonderful variety.
