Robert has been cooking professionally for over 30+ years. He has worked as a food editor, restaurant designer, hotel operator, and chef. He believes that food has a unique ability to connect people, transcend culture, and create lasting memories. He is so excited to share his passion and hopes his Montreal food tour can bring a few dollops (or more) of joy into your life!
This Montreal food culture tour is a deeper gastronomic adventure than others. First, it has been curated by a Michelin star-trained chef and award-winning food and travel journalist. Second, you will eat from a selection of artisan producers, butchers, cheesemongers, and industry sources that can't easily be found on Google. Third, it focuses on the cuisines, home cooking, and street foods of Montreal’s diverse immigrant communities - Italian, North African, French, Asian, Quebecois, and more - visa the setting of North America's largest daily farmer's market. Fourth, the tour frames the cultural and local history that give the dishes you will taste dimension. Finally, your Montreal food tour includes tastes of 6-7 local foods and 1-2 glasses of sommelier-chosen wine, craft cider or beer. Wear walking shoes and loose pants and get ready to immerse yourself in the food, culture and culinary traditions of Montreal! Please note that on days that Robert is sick or unavailable, an equally wonderful guide and partner personally trained by Robert will be your guide.
Sampling of 1-2 drinks and 6-7 local foods that may include: SE Asian, Quebec, North African and Roman street food and specialities
