Begin your epicurean adventure by meeting your tour guide at Chez Ashton for your first tasting, poutine, a delicious fast-food style favorite that originated in Quebec. This dish is made with french fries and topped with gravy and cheese curds, so get ready to indulge.
Then head to La Barberie, a microbrasserie (microbrewery) where you’ll enjoy a tasting of classic Québécois pea soup and two craft beers. From here, walk through the neighborhood to your next four stops, learning from your guide about the history of this eclectic district, a former down-and-out part of town that’s become a hip foodie and art haven. As you make the 1-mile (1.6-km) walk, pass by historical landmarks and admire the shops that line rue St-Joseph, the neighborhood’s main drag.
Pop into Camellia Sinensis Tea House to sample seasonal teas. Then it's on to JEF Poissonnerie Prêt à Manger, a must-visit in St-Roch where you'll enjoy the local and classic specialty, lobster cake.
Continue to the Fromagerie des Grondines cheese shop. Here you'll pair exclusive raw milk cheese and local charcuterie. Finish your tour with tasty dessert at Om Prana, a vegan bistro known for their lime-avocado pie.
Please note: The above tastings make up the tour’s typical menu but the exact dishes are subject to change.
