Food tour with Rob Michelin Trained Chef

The food tour with Chef Rob was excellent, I would highly recommend. We always do food tours and this tour more than lived up to our expectations. We visited the Jean Talon market, this was so interesting seeing it through Chef Rob’s eyes. Especially loved how Chef Rob, embraced all the different nationalities in Montreal and explained how this has influenced food culture in the city. Chef Robs passion for food and the interwoven cultures of Montreal, but his knowledge is extensive and generou...read more

Great tastes of Montreal

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.

Amazing food tour in Montreal!

Chef Rob is a delight. The tour exceeded my expectations with history, culture, and detailed insights into the food scene of Montreal and Quebec. We weaved in and out of stalls and shops as he picked up items that we shared at tables along the way. I highly recommend the wine add-on as it paired perfectly with the arrays of local cheeses he picked. I also highly recommend his Supper Club, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Even as a solo traveler, I felt welcomed into the various groups and met...read more

Listen up, food adventurers!

This was our very favorite activity while visiting Montreal. Rob guided us through Jean Talon, a very large food market and then to another, Marché Atwater, explaining the various cuisines and what chefs look for when buying in preparation for their dishes. One should come hungry as Rob had us sample a host of foods from around the world. Although it was not “private”, we did enjoy the three ladies who joined us. A bonus for us was that post tour, Rob was heading back in the same direction a...read more
