This three-hour food tour in Montreal is locally owned and operated by Spade & Palacio, focusing on non-touristy neighborhoods around Jean-Talon Market and Little Italy. The tour begins at Jean-Talon Market, the largest market of its kind in Canada. Participants spend about one hour visiting various vendors and specialty shops, tasting farm-fresh goat cheeses, selected charcuteries, seasonal products from a forager, and other items depending on availability. The guide provides information about the market’s businesses and its role in the community. After some free time to explore the market independently, the group walks through the nearby streets of Little Italy to learn about the local communities and their cultures. The tour includes a sit-down Salvadoran tasting at a family-run restaurant frequented by locals. Participants also sample coffee at a small third-wave café, spending around forty-five minutes in this part of the tour. The final stop is an award-winning bean-to-bar chocolate factory where Montreal-made chocolates are tasted. All food and drinks sampled during the tour are included. Gratuities and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. Participants should inform the operator of any food allergies or dietary restrictions at booking. A vegetarian option is available on request. Child rates apply only when sharing with two paying adults.
