Additional Information

Immersing oneself in the gastronomy of a locale is an exceptional way to understand its history and culture. Our Food Tour in Newfoundland provides an opportunity to do just that in downtown St. John’s. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is renowned for its distinct food culture in Canada, with an emphasis on seafood, game meat, and delectable traditional dishes. Whether it’s a Come From Away (CFA) making a name with a much-loved local pastry, to a pub with a haunting history that inspired a television set, or a prior fruit stall standing strong on the remnants of the Great Fire, we delve into the characters, narratives, and cuisines that set the city apart.

Come with an appetite! If you are feeling famished upon arrival, you will be completely satisfied by the end of our tour. Don’t worry…we’ll let you in on the local lingo too. ;)

  • Not recommended for vegans, vegetarians, or those who require gluten-free options.

I give it a thumbs up - The tour was excellent. The food was great and the guide was very knowledgeable about both the food and about St. John’s well worth it.

Great food and walking tour! - Our guide Melissa was a wealth of information and shared lots of stories with us. The food was great! I especially enjoyed the moose burger. A fair amount of walking to tour the downtown restaurants and pubs and learn more about the city.

Very fun, interesting, highly recommend! - It was excellent, exceeded both of our expectations. The pace, food, stories and history were perfect. Our guide was so fun, incredibly knowledgeable and really on it as far as keeping us moving in on time, but didn’t feel rushed anywhere.

Food and fun - I highly recommend this tour. Our guide had so much knowledge of the history of not just the foods of Newfoundland, but of the area itself. He was entertaining and the food was so good! We learned a lot and became more familiar with the area so we could explore on our own later.

Tasty & Informative tour - This was an excellent tour, our guide Tyra was very knowledgeable of the local community and the history of the area. She shared lots of interesting information about the area while we did our tour. The food stops were great tasting and very filling. You definitely do not need to eat lunch before this tour!

Amazing Food Tour - The Best!! - The St. John's food tour is one of the best I've been on. I take a food tour most places I visit early in my trip so I can then know what to look for on menus. This tour was the best - very long and detailed information about the history and culture of the food in this area. Tyra was absolutely the best tour guide. Knowledgeable, funny, friendly and very personable. Would love to hang out with her anytime! I highly recommend to everyone!!

Enjoyable food and walking tour of St. John's. - Tyra was a wonderful guide on our recent food tour. She had terrific stories and facts to share, and she gave great insight to Newfoundland in general, and St. John's in particular. The places she brought us to served a wide variety of food, and were a great introduction to local tastes and popular spots to return to. Highly recommend!

Loved it! - I would have given this 5 stars because of Tyra's (our guide) amazing job. She shared all of the information about history, culture and of course, food of St. John's in an enthusiastic and entertaining way. We really enjoyed all of the stops, especially the Rocket Bakery. The reason I only gave this 4 stars is because of the problem we had at the beginning of the tour. We showed up early at the meeting place designated in the confirmation email, but soon realized there must be a mistake. I tried calling the tour operator to no avail, but then got someone at Viator who told us that the meeting place had been changed. They stated that the new address was on our tickets which honestly I do not remember receiving. Luckily we arrived only 10 minutes late, and the group was still there. I still would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a literal taste of Duckworth and Water Streets!
