Jewish neighborhood food and history tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Melissa was excellent from choices of restaurants to knowledge of food the history of neighborhood. She brought good energy and filled the time with great information and food.

More than good food! Neighborhood histories, too.

Published on Oct, 2024

1) The food was great. The tour included sampling smoked meat at Montreal’s two famous delicatessens (Lester’s and Schwartz’s) and two famous Montreal-style bagel bakers (St-Viateur Bagel and Fairmount Bagel). The tastings provided comparisons between the delicatessens and bagel bakeries. (I liked Schwart’s smoked meat better and St-Viateur’s bagels better.) The chocolate Babka was amazing. (2) Besides the food tastings, our guide (Mélissa) provided detailed descriptions of the ethnic and cultural histories of each neighborhood we visited. She also pointed out significant architecture. (3) She arrived on time, spoke clearly, answered questions, was well organized, and is friendly.

Fun and delicious!

This tour was excellent! Our guide, Melissa was beyond knowledgeable and passionate about food and all things in Montreal. It was like a super fun one day graduate level course which we will remember for a long time!

Learning is always fun!

Loved the variety of tastings and the history of the area. Great to know how international the neighborhood is and all seem to share interest in each other. Our tour guide, Melissa, was perfect and knew sooo much.

Eat, walk, listen, enjoy

Melissa was a star. Such a fun experience with SO much food. Her knowledge was inspiring and we both (grandma and grandson) had the best of times. Thank you.
