Saturday Cincinnati Brunch Tour

Carol_A, Sep 2025
This was a wonderful food tour of special Cincinnati food plus historical information included with our city tour of OTR (Over the Rhine area) and Findlay Market with small streetcar ride. Laura our guide was wonderful…kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care to make sure everyone had a great time. We had plenty of delicious food from Stuffed French toast with Strawberries, blueberries/cream, Detroit style pizza from Taglio, Che restaurant yummy braised short rib empanada, German Goetta sandwich from Eckerlin (one of the longest owned restaurants in the Market), which I have never had before but was awesome, tasting of cheese and fidget and a dessert bar from Cherbourg bakery to end fun food tour. All the food was special and I would highly recommend this brunch tour.
