Our New Orleans food tours are built for people who actually care about what’s on the plate. We keep groups small, walk real neighborhoods, and visit owner‑run restaurants where locals eat on their days off. No giant bus groups, no chain restaurants, and no “tour group only” menus.

Eat Like a Local on Magazine Street

New Orleans food tours don’t have to mean big groups and touristy restaurants. Our Magazine Street Food Tour keeps it small, focuses on locally owned spots, and gives you a full meal’s worth of food along one of the city’s favorite streets. It feels more like eating with friends than following a flag.

Food tour questions

Answered by the people who run the tours

Not at all. Every stop is a full-sized portion — this is a meal, not a tasting. Most guests leave quite full.
This tour can accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians with advance notice. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate vegan, gluten-free, kosher, or low-salt diets. If you're vegan, our Vegan New Orleans Food Tour was built with you in mind.
We can accommodate guests who don't eat shellfish, but this tour may not be suitable for anyone with a severe shellfish allergy. Please call us before booking so we can talk through the details.
Children 12 and under who share portions with a parent qualify for a discounted ticket at $39, available by calling our office directly at 504-517-5397. If your child is a big eater, a full-priced ticket may be the better call.
Short answer: a lot! The longer answer is that it will be enough food for dinner, and most guests will leave quite full. For that reason, we advise you to come hungry!
If your group is larger than 7, or there aren't enough tickets left for everyone, give us a call or send us an email. We'll check guide and venue availability for your date and see what we can work out.
Absolutely. The food on this tour stands on its own — it's delicious regardless of your diet. Most non-vegan guests are genuinely surprised by how good it is.
This tour is fully vegan and free of animal products. However, nuts and gluten are used extensively throughout the tour and we cannot accommodate nut allergies or gluten-free diets. Please contact us before booking if you have other dietary concerns.
Not even close. This is a history tour where the American cocktail is the lens. You'll leave knowing why New Orleans matters to the story of the drink — not just where the bars are. Guests who arrive visibly intoxicated will be asked to leave with no refund.
Drinks are not included, and that's intentional. You choose what you order and what you spend at each stop — no package pricing, no pressure. Non-drinkers are absolutely welcome and your guide will make sure you're taken care of at every stop.

Come hungry.

Small groups, owner-run restaurants and a full meal on every food tour.
