Great tastes of Montreal

JamesK_E, Dec 2024
Rob did a great job with our family of four on Dec. 26th, making arrangements given the market was closed. He showed us other areas of Montreal and then shared with us delicious food and wine which were all fabulous. We appreciate his hard work and recommend the tour highly.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Lori, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Regarding hotel pickup and drop-off, these are listed as exclusions on our Viator listing, and we apologize if this caused any confusion. We will review this to see if the wording can be adjusted to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Additionally, while the tour description mentions Chef Robert, we include a note in the additional information section stating that, on days when Robert is unavailable, a guide personally trained by him — such as Catherine — will lead the experience. We’re glad to hear that you found Catherine to be an amazing guide. It also appears that the included food samples matched what was outlined in the listing. However, we regret if any details were unclear or caused disappointment. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’re committed to providing exceptional experiences. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly at reservations@travelingspoon.com Warm regards, Aashi

Chef Rob and his assistant Catherine were fantastic. They were extremely knowledgeable about brought us to places we would never have explored in our own. Highly recommend. Come with a fully belly and a shopping bag for all your goodies.

Food explosion

Seeing the amazing markets and hearing about the history and different cultures. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a chef’s perspective of the unusual foods and how to use them in cooking.

Super nettes Erlebnis!

Chikako zeigt das Zubereiten typischer japanischer Gerichte, die in den Alltag einer Familie passen. Dabei wird alles so gemacht, wie man es auch sonst machen würde, mit Gefühl und Erfahrung Maß nehmen zum Beispiel ohne alles aufs Gramm auszuwiegen. Damit lernt man wirklich, wie solche Mahlzeiten in einem tyischen japanischen Haushalt wirklich zubereitet werden. Wir haben gemacht: Gyoza, Sushi-Maki, einen Nachtisch aus Reismehl und Tofu sowie nach dem gemeinsamen Essen noch Takoyaki, Tintenfischbällchen, die haben wir in einer Bento-Box nebst einigen Zutaten als Mitbringsel für Zuhause von Chikako liebevoll verpackt mit ins Hotel genommen. Es war weit mehr als bloß ein Kochkurs, schon Tage zuvor hat sich Chikako bei uns nach unseren Interessen erkundigt, sie war vielseitig interessiert, sprach sehr gut Englisch und gab uns interessante Tips für die weitere Reise. Wir können dieses Erlebnis in Sapporo uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
