Foodie tips

Get more out of every meal.

Tip

Book Six Taste, Sidewalk and Melting Pot walks several days ahead for weekends; the operators list set calendars.

Tip

Eat a light breakfast before a tour; tastings add up to a full meal.

Tip

Report allergies at least 72 hours before departure; Six Taste does not guarantee substitutions.

Tip

Gratuity is usually not included in the listed tour price; 15-20 percent is customary.

Tip

Group by neighbourhood: Downtown, Little Tokyo and the Arts District connect easily by Metro; Koreatown, Thai Town and the Westside are better covered by rideshare.

Tip

Tour restaurant partners change, so confirm that the day's stops match dietary needs.
