Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Book guided tours on the operator websites; group sizes are small and weekend departures sell out in summer.
Wear walking shoes and dress for the weather: most routes cover 2-3 km outdoors, and winter temperatures fall well below freezing.
Tour prices are quoted before Québec sales tax (about 14.975%) and do not include the guide's gratuity.
Report allergies and dietary restrictions to the operator when booking; tastings depend on what each vendor can adapt.
Marché Jean-Talon is busiest on summer Saturdays; weekday tours are quieter.
Public cooking classes at Ateliers & Saveurs are taught in French; English-language classes are private bookings only.
