Description

New Orleanians LOVE food, but they rarely go to the French Quarter to eat. Why? Because many of the best restaurants are located right in our neighborhoods!

One such foodie paradise for locals is Magazine Street. Join us as we eat our way through part of the famed Garden District, a vibrant neighborhood in Uptown, where locals of all ages come together to shop, sip, and sup in true New Orleanian fashion.

No gumbo here—let us treat you to New Orleans-style food most visitors don’t think to order on their own. Your meal will include 4 different savory restaurants for a total of 6 menu items, each specifically selected for its historical or cultural significance to New Orleans (as well as its great flavor)! Our 5th stop will delight your sweet tooth with a delicious dessert!

Only 9 spots are available per tour! The ticket includes a full meal (5 restaurants, 7+ food items — this is not a “tasting” tour!), a pint of local beer or soda, and all associated restaurant costs.

This New Orleans food tour walk covers 1/2 mile and will be held rain or shine. This tour does not accommodate vegan, low or gluten-free, kosher, or reduced-sodium dietary restrictions. This tour may not be a good fit for diets that prohibit both seafood and pork, since many dishes contain one or the other. A minimum of 2 people are required for this tour to run (may be booked separately).
