Melissa our tour guide was excellent. She gave us a comprehensive tour of the best Jewish food in Montreal. She imparted valuable and very interesting anecdotes about the history of Jewish food and the people. Everyone was full after the many food stops to sample the outstanding food. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour guide, with extensive knowledge of the city's history, but also culinary details and culture. This food tour isn't just about food, it's about Chinatown's culture and history first, with food to pair with this information. It's a great mix should you like both walking tours and food tours. There is a good quantity of food, in 3 main sit-down locations + a few bites while walking, but it's mainly in the second part of the tour, the first is mainly a historical/cultural walking tour. This is different from most food tours I've been on, so to be noted if you want food, food, food and only food. For me, it was a super balance, so I'm super happy!

A jam-packed half day that gave us an interesting history of Jews in Montreal and the neighborhoods with amazing things to eat. From smoked meats to sweets, we were absolutely stuffed. The guide was super enthusiastic and we enjoyed our tour very much.

Francis was very good and knowledgeable. But we thought trip was too long. Should be 2 hrs max, not 4. Starting with meat first thing in the morning was not appealing to us. Thought to start at a bagel shop would have been more appropriate. If bagel & coffee were offered - that would have been a great way to start the tour.

We were fortunate to have energetic Frances as our tour guide. She knew all about the history, culture and popular places to eat in the Jewish section of Montreal, having lived there all her life. Good thing I brought sunscreen, a hat and wore comfy shoes because we walked pretty briskly under the noon day sun. Except for the first and last stop, we ate outdoors, on the go. Frances provided us with a tote bag and a souvenir water bottle which were helpful. She pointed out places as we zigzagged around the neighborhood and shared their back stories. We got to taste and compare bagels and smoked meats from competing shops—all had long lines out the doors. We sampled hummus while learning about schools, churches and parks. She explained the significance of a couple of huge murals on building walls along the way. And as it was shabbat, we got to see quite a number of observant families dressed accordingly. We got a shot of crown royal whisky along with bagels, cream cheese and a pickle. We ended in an ice cream shop where I got to taste flavors i never heard of before. We ended the tour an hour later than expected, no one complained. Everyone tired but happy.

Never actually got the tour, despite confirmation two months ahead of time. This organization is unbelievably opportunistic and they messed up our vacation plans 15x over. They said they'd bill 2 days before, but actually began to bill a week before a tour that they cancelled. 14 emails about changing the date to fit their needs (not ours). Ultimately they canceled the tour, but not until they billed me twice. I have never been so jerked around. DO NOT BOOK WITH THESE OPPORTUNISTS.

Get your camera ready, bring comfy shoes and come hungry! Do not think you will go in some of the bakeries because they are small but the guide goes in and gets all the things! She was amazing! A local filled with so much knowledge. We had plenty of food and even dessert and then walked it off back to our hotel. It was perfect and worth it! Highly recommend

Other than knowing about chocolate in a general sense and that it comes from cacoa plants, this tour gave us a much better appreciation of the entire process to making chocolate. The guide, Melissa, accommodated our scheduling conflict and taught us so much at each stop. At each stop, she had us really take time to smell and taste different chocolates to appreciate the differences. At the factory the owner and Melissa talked about each step of the process from selecting cacoa seeds, drying them, roasting, separating them and we could see and taste the differences by changing something at each step. We got to try our hand at making some chocolate bars and adding nuts or other things to take with us. Not skimpy on samples, multiple samples, and all of the guides/owners were so kind, informative, and fun. It wasn't too much walking, easy pace, and our teenager enjoyed the tour (the other family had a middle schooler). It was a mix of listening and doing, so even younger kids would be able to participate and learn something along the way. Lots of visuals and the people were prepared with large pictures for us to be able to see. Highly recommend this tour.

We do a lot of city tours as a family and this was one of the best. Our guide, Darren, went above and beyond, sharing personal experience of growing up in Jewish Montreal, weaving in history, anecdotes and even poetry into the visits to taste the best from iconic Montreal Jewish food establishments. When they say to come hungry, it’s true. You will be pleasantly stuffed by the end and the long walk is definitely helpful to keep you going. Highly recommended!

What a great tour! Francis, our guide, had so much knowledge about the history of the Jewish community and Montreal in general! There was not a question she couldn't answer! And the food!!! THE FOOD!!! Such a great variety and the portions were so generous that I couldn't eat for the rest of the day and evening! If you want a great tour with a plethora of information and great food, I highly recommend this Jewish Food Tour with Tour de Table! You will not be disappointed! Thanks again for a great day!

Melissa took us on an amazing food tour with our vegetarian grand daughter. The food was spectacular, Melissa’s in depth knowledge of the area made it even better! Many thanks

The food on this tour is plentiful and SO delicious! We had to take some home with us because it was just so much for one day. The first stop, a great deli, was my favorite, but there's a stop for babka later that was a verrrry close second. It's a pretty long tour and I think some of the stopping points could be shortened or cut out, but all of the food was on point. Still thinking about the babka!

The tour guide seemed under-prepared, and distracted and talked about herself more than about the subject matter. The food was very good, but she didn't tie it all together. Overall it was unprofessional.

We did this tour with Melissa on Shabbat, also during a street festival on Saint Laurent, but it was really phenomenal. Whether you are Jewish of not, you will learn about a corner of the world, through its food, that is a gem on earth. We visited seven (!) restaurants, and were able to compare bagels and smoked meat with different styles, and also walked through traditional neighborhoods and learned about the history and the changes in Montreal over the past several centuries. Melissa seemed to know everyone we encountered, which also made this more of a friendly feel of a tour. This should be a must when visiting Montreal.

Best food tour we've taken in any city we've visited. Melissa is incredibly knowledgeable of the cultural history of Montreal. We learned a lot about not just the Jewish history of the city, but current issues as well. She was also super flexible about scheduling and finding a date that worked with our travel plans. Come hungry because there are a lot of stops and the food is excellent!
