There’s no better way to learn about the history and culture of a community than to eat its food. On this Newfoundland Food Tour, you will eat your way through downtown St. John’s. Newfoundland and Labrador has one of the most unique food cultures in Canada. Long known for seafood, wild game, and delicious traditional meals, the province has a long list of mouth-watering ingredients and recipes. From a CFA finding success selling beloved Newfoundland pastry to a haunted pub that inspired a TV set to a former fruit stand literally built on the ashes of the Great Fire, we’ll explore the people, stories, and food that make the city unique. Come hungry! If you arrive gut-foundered, by the time we finish our walk, you’ll be stogged.

But this isn’t just a history lesson—it’s an adventure told by passionate and entertaining guides.

Expect laughter, unexpected tales, and a new appreciation for the city’s unique character.
