Vancouver: Gastown Food Tour with 6 Authentic Local Food Tastings
Overview
Walk through Gastown, the place where Vancouver began, stopping at the local spots that have shaped its food scene for generations. Your guide knows every kitchen, and they'll share the stories behind both as you eat your way through one of Canada's most storied neighbourhoods.
Along the way, you'll taste dishes that reflect the real Vancouver: slow-roasted pork carved to order on ciabatta, a handcrafted dessert bar that started at a farmers' market and became a BC institution, classic Scotch eggs served in a pub dating to 1910, and more.
Morning guests enjoy exclusive stops including Vancouver's most beloved hand-made donut, fried fresh daily since 1979.
Afternoon guests add a chicken taco and artisan chocolate. Every tour includes our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.
Between bites, your guide brings Gastown to life: the city's origins, the Great Fire of 1886, and the rebuilding that made this neighbourhood what it is today. Quality drinks are included at select stops.
