Small Group Vancouver Secret Food Tour

What your day looks like

A food tour is the kind of experience that changes the way you see a city and lets you know its real essence. Gastown is where Vancouver began, and the streets your clients will walk through tell the story of a city that burned to the ground in 1886 and rebuilt itself into one of Canada's most distinctive eating destinations. An expert local guide leads small groups of up to 12 through the spots that locals actually eat at — places that have earned their place over decades, not just a good review. The food reflects the neighbourhood's character. A slow-roasted pork sandwich in the oven since the night before, carved to order on ciabatta with house salsa verde — one of the most replicated sandwiches in Canada, and the original is right here. Classic Scotch eggs seasoned in-house, served in a pub in the same building since 1910. The Crack Bar from a bakery that started at the Whistler Farmers' Market and grew to eight BC locations: shortbread, salted caramel, dark chocolate. And our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day. Menu varies by departure. The 10am tour is built for the morning: Vancouver's most beloved hand-made donut, fried fresh daily since 1979, and fermented veggie toast on sourdough baked that morning with hummus and pickled vegetables made entirely in-house. The 12pm and 4pm tours add a chicken taco from one of Gastown's most consistent kitchens, and house-made artisan chocolate from a small local producer. Quality drinks included at select stops.
