We had an amazing time on this tour! Would HIGHLY recommend! Our guide, Lucas, was wonderful - he had so much to offer about the local history and culture and was entertaining in his presentation. We were able to taste (in abundance) some of the most delicious and iconic foods of Montreal. Lucas also recommended some of his go to places that we decided to try and they were great! Can't say enough good things - it was just awesome!

Very interesting tour of a neighborhood we knew nothing about. Georgia was a fun and informative guide. We visited 7 places. The tastings were great and Georgia’s narration provided the significance of each location and dish to the city.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Sarah, thank you for such a lovely review! Getting to know a neighborhood you'd never have explored otherwise is exactly what we hope a Montreal food tour delivers. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.
Chris_L, Sep 2026
This food tour was a bit disappointing for us. While it is listed as a “secret food tour” thru Miles end, there is nothing secret about the food nor the location: food is the expected Montreal specialties of bagel, smoked meat, poutine, food stops are also extremely crowded and popular, not exactly a secret. The most interesting about the tour was actually not the food but learning about the neighborhood history. C’est la vie !
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your perspective, Chris. We’re glad to hear that the neighborhood history and stories added interest to your experience, although we regret that the overall tour did not resonate with you as we had hoped.
We thoughtfully curate our tours to showcase what we consider to be the best of the local food scene, while also giving guests a deeper sense of the city and the neighborhoods they are exploring. We understand that the word secret can create certain expectations, and we appreciate your perspective on how that came across during your experience.
Your feedback is valuable as we continue to refine the experience and consider how we can make the concept and curation feel more distinctive for every guest. We would be happy to welcome you again in the future and hope to have the opportunity to provide an experience that better matches what you were looking for.
MARGO_P, Sep 2026
The food tour was excellent! Georgia was an amazing tour guide and the food variety was great! We tried some Greek and Italian food as well as the famous bagels from St Viateur and the wonderful poutine and ice cream!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Margo, a food tour that covers Greek, Italian, bagels, poutine, and ice cream in one afternoon is quite the lineup! Mile End has so much packed into it, and we're glad the variety came through on your visit. We hope you'll join us for another Secret Food Tours adventure soon.
Peter_G, Aug 2026
Georgia was a wonderful guide, she was fun and informative. I highly recommend taking this tour with her!!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It was great to have you in the group, Peter! We hope the tour gave you more context for the destination and some local recommendations to carry into the rest of your stay. We’re grateful you joined Secret Food Tours.
Steven_W, Aug 2026
Guide was informative and the food was great! Walked away pleasantly full and didn’t have dinner later that night. We did sneak in a dessert.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re thankful you chose to spend part of your trip with Secret Food Tours. We hope the tour gave you a chance to discover the city through its food and the areas we explored together. It was a pleasure having you with us!
Molly_T, Aug 2026
Georgia was a fantastic tour guide, bringing us around the Mile End neighborhood, telling us about the history of the area, and feeding us delicious food and refreshing drinks.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re glad you decided to spend part of your day with us. We hope the stops along the route gave you a closer look at the local food culture and the neighborhood around it. Thank you for being our guest at Secret Food Tours!
Patricia_P, Aug 2026
We had an excellent variety of food and the restaurateurs were nice. The guide, Simon, however told too much of his personal life and talked politics. But we still liked him.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you, Patricia, for sharing your perspective. Our guides are typically enthusiastic about sharing the flavors and stories of the city while bringing their own personality to each tour, and we appreciate your feedback as we continue to refine the experience. We’re glad you still enjoyed your time with Simon and would be happy to welcome you back to explore more of Montreal with us!
Mark_D, Aug 2026
This Mile End food tour was one of the best experiences of our Montreal trip, and a huge part of that was our guide, Simon.
Simon was fantastic—outgoing, funny, engaging, and genuinely interested in making the tour feel like more than simply walking from one restaurant to the next. He encouraged questions, kept everyone involved, and created a really relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout.
What impressed us most was how much detail he provided at every stop. He didn’t just explain the food; he went into the history of the restaurants, the owners, how the dishes were made, and what made each place unique. It was obvious he had strong relationships with many of the restaurants as well, which made the experience feel more personal and gave the tour a bit of an insider feel.
Every stop was enjoyable, the food was consistently delicious, and finishing with ice cream on a very hot Montreal day was a perfect touch.
Excellent value, excellent guide, and an easy 10/10. We would absolutely recommend this tour—and Simon in particular—to anyone visiting Montreal.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re pleased you gave us the chance to share some of the city with you. We hope the experience provided both enjoyable food and a few insights you could take with you afterward. Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours!
Anand_M, Aug 2026
We had a 4:00 p.m. tour and were already at the designated meeting point when we received a message at 4:01 p.m. saying the tour was cancelled. That level of last-minute notice is extremely frustrating and left us with no meaningful opportunity to make alternate plans.
To their credit, they did refund us and offered complimentary tickets for one of their food tours worldwide, which I appreciate. Still, cancelling only after the scheduled start time raises a serious reliability concern. I would be very hesitant to book again if the tour were an important part of the day.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you, Anand, for sharing your perspective. Please know that cancellations are uncommon for us and are only made in extreme circumstances, and we understand how frustrating it can be when a change happens so close to the scheduled start time. We did offer the option to reschedule, and when that did not work with your plans, we processed a full refund. We do appreciate your feedback as we continue to refine the guest experience, and we would be glad to welcome you again on a future visit to Montreal.

Lots of great information shared and delicious foods! Nice that they could accommodate vegetarian diet.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Having you with us was a pleasure. We hope the tour gave you a chance to enjoy the city in a way that felt personal and easygoing. Thank you for making Secret Food Tours part of your visit!
Kristin_R, Aug 2026
Tour was cancelled after we were already en route to meeting location. This was our one planned activity in Montreal. Extremely disappointing. Want to give 0 stars.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your perspective, Kristin. We do understand how disappointing it must have been to have your plans disrupted. Cancellations are uncommon for us, and in this instance, our assigned guide became ill and we were unable to find a suitable replacement in time. We offered to reschedule the tour, and when that did not work with your plans, we provided a full refund. Still, we appreciate your feedback as we continue refining the experience, and we would be happy to welcome you back on a future visit to Montreal.

Excellent experience!! Very well organized! Our Tour Guide, Eric was extremely informative and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the authentic cuisine, and location!! Arrive with an empty belly!! I highly recommend this activity while visiting Montreal!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It was great meeting you during the tour. We hope you enjoyed the places we selected and the time between them just as much as the food itself. We’re glad Secret Food Tours brought us together!
emily_c, Aug 2026
We had an amazing time on this food tour- Dominique was friendly and very knowledgeable. Our kids (15 and 12) also loved this- it was not too much walking and was lots of fun. If you want to hit all the classic bites and support local restaurants- this tour is a must do!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
A few hours around the city can open up a whole different side of it. We’re glad you chose to spend those hours with Secret Food Tours. Thanks for being part of the journey!

This was an amazing experience and we all loved it. Georgia was terrific and the different places we went were very representative of the neighborhood we were visiting. Not to mention that the food was fantastic!!!

Sean_C, Aug 2026
This is the best way to experience the multi-cultural food scene in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal. Georgia, our guide, was incredible! She introduced each each stop and its food as part of the tapestry that makes up Montreal. The food selection was diverse and interesting. We learned what makes Montreal bagels unique and sampled Greek treats, as well as gnocchi, poutine, smoked meat sandwiches and ice cream. We learned a lot and had full bellies when it was over.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re happy we got to be part of your visit. Good food is always better when there’s a good story and a good place around it, and that’s what we hope you found with Secret Food Tours. We hope to see you again!
SUSAN_J, Aug 2026
Come hungry! Great exposure to many spots in this diverse area. Simon was so knowledgeable and informative.

We enjoyed our food tour with Lucas. He handled all of the logistics well and we enjoyed the stories and recommendations. The food gave us a nice flavor of Montreal.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Melissa, good logistics behind the scenes often go unnoticed until they're done really well, and it sounds like that was the case here! Stories, recommendations, and a genuine taste of Montreal rounding out the day is exactly what we hope for. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.

Devan_T, Jul 2026
We had a great time on this food tour with Simon. He was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job sharing interesting insights about Montreal and its food scene throughout the tour.
I really liked that the tour went beyond just the classic Montreal staples. We got to try iconic foods like Montreal bagels, but also discovered a fantastic Greek specialty and several other dishes that I never would have thought to seek out in Montreal. It made for a much more unique and well-rounded experience.
The food was excellent across the board, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Montreal through its food.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This was one of my favorite experiences in Montreal. Our tour guide, Eric, was amazing. He was very welcoming and really helped the group connect and have a great shared experience. It felt like hanging out with people you already knew. The food stops were amazing and truly authentic choices. Eric added to he experience by giving so many historical facts. He was very engaging and a true storyteller. I actually think this one my favorite experience is far in Montreal .
