Experience the vibrant flavors and culinary soul of New Orleans on a three-hour walking food tour through the city’s most iconic and locally loved eateries. As you stroll through historic neighborhoods, your guide will lead you to up to five handpicked locations — from traditional Creole restaurants and sandwich shops to spicy hot sauce bars and artisanal candy stores. At each stop, you’ll savor signature dishes that define New Orleans’ unique food culture, including gumbo, boudin, po’boys, pralines, and more.
Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the city’s culinary heritage, family-run restaurant dynasties, and recipes that have been passed down for generations. You’ll visit establishments that predate the Civil War, discover modern favorites, and gather insider tips on the best places to eat and shop. With small groups and a relaxed pace, this tour offers a delicious and authentic way to explore the heart of New Orleans — and with fully stocked bars at some stops, there’s always time to raise a glass to good food and great company.
