Vancouver Private Food Tour: Taste 6+ Local Dishes & Fresh Sushi

Set off through Gastown, the very district where Vancouver got its start, alongside a guide who knows each street and each kitchen intimately. Because this is a private outing, the whole route belongs to your group alone. You'll find the same well-loved local stops, the same tales surrounding the Great Fire of 1886 and the city's beginnings, and the same cooking that has turned this neighbourhood into one of the most distinctive food destinations in Canada. As you go, you'll sample dishes tied to Gastown's past: slow-roasted pork sliced to order on ciabatta, a dessert counter that grew into a BC institution after beginning as a farmers' market stall, and classic Scotch eggs served in a pub that dates to 1910. The line-up shifts with your start time: morning visitors enjoy the hand-made donut fried fresh in Vancouver every day since 1979, plus a fermented-vegetable toast on sourdough, while afternoon visitors add a chicken taco and house-made artisan chocolate. Every departure also holds a Secret Dish, revealed only on the day itself, with quality drinks poured at select stops.
