I aim to go on a food tour in every country I visit and Victor’s by far was the most unique and personalized I’ve been on! Victor’s excitable personality will reel you in and his passion for food will take the foodie in you to the next level on this tour!
The tour went beyond just visiting a few great restaurants and trying top dishes, it also dove into typically unexplored topics such as ingredient origins, cooking methods, establishment history, and cultural influences. In addition to the delicious food and historical explanations of Montreal’s Chinatown, Victor adds geographical and culinary explanations to his tour - covering topics from which restaurants specialize in cuisines from different Chinese provinces to how soup dumplings and hand-drawn noodles are made. Victor also shares some details about how different groups of people immigrated to various areas of Montreal and influenced the fusion offerings of many of the restaurants throughout the city.
Whether or not you are familiar with Chinese cuisine or Montreal as a culinary city, I’d highly recommend this tour. You will leave delightfully full of fantastic food and excited to try more of Victor’s top picks in the area. If you have the opportunity to join his tour, do it! Victor is a superb host and you’ll surely have a blast!
