Under the Surface of Montreal's Chinatown: Guided Food Walking Tour

Over the course of this guided walking tour, you'll trace how Montreal's Chinatown has evolved, from its beginnings well before there even was a Chinatown right through to today's blend of people, flavours and businesses that give it its energy. You'll learn more about the neighbourhood's history and about the effects of the various waves of immigration, along with the immigration policies that shaped them, all while exploring its food and the stories of the local chefs, merchants and colourful characters who keep the area alive. It's a chance to scratch beneath the surface of a place many people simply pass through without sensing its depth, tying each bite to a human and historical thread, and seeing how the residents, the dishes and the shops have followed and mingled with one another over time in this emblematic pocket of the city.
