Walk through Gastown
and discover where the locals eat
On this English-guided food tour of about 3 hours, you'll walk through Gastown, Vancouver's oldest neighborhood, and enjoy 6 tastings. Hear the story of a city that burned to the ground in the Great Fire of 1886 and rose again, as your guide takes you to local favorites that have built their reputations over decades. You can choose between a small-group tour and a private tour.
Taste Gastown's signature dishes

Try a pork sandwich slow-roasted overnight, carved to order onto ciabatta and topped with house salsa verde. At a pub that has occupied the same building since 1910, enjoy a classic Scotch egg with house seasoning, and at a dessert bar that started at the Whistler Farmers' Market, taste a crack bar made with shortbread, salted caramel, and dark chocolate.
Enjoy different dishes depending on your tour time

Guests on the 10 AM tour enjoy a handmade donut fried fresh daily and hand-glazed since 1979, plus fermented vegetable toast on sourdough baked that morning, topped with house-made hummus and pickled vegetables. Guests on the 12 PM and 4 PM tours taste a Mexican street-style chicken taco from one of Gastown's most popular kitchens and handcrafted artisan chocolate made on site by a small local producer. Drinks are served at designated stops.
Finish with a secret dish ordered by your guide

Part of the fun is the secret dish: no one knows what it is until your guide orders it. The tour ends at 7 Alexander St in Gastown.
