Chinese cuisine is very rich and diverse. It cannot be treated as one entire cuisine as ingredients and styles of cooking vary depending on the geography, climate, and religion. We will journey through Chinatown and taste these regional delicacies together. By the end of the experience, you will be familiar with the flavour characteristic from various parts of China. We will start in the heart of Chinatown and make our way through four food stops all within a block from each other. Each stop represents a specific province in China. [Optional] If interested, we will also walk through the aisles of the largest Asian supermarket in Chinatown, and have you familiarize with commonly used ingredients in Chinese cooking. If you're into photography, I'll be offering you tips on taking Instagram-worthy food pictures. Dress appropriately for the weather. Wear comfortable footwear.

We start in the hood with the highest bike ridership in North America, at a 3rd wave coffee shop big in the cycling community. We head through the Plateau to the foot of the mountain park to introduce MTL before cruising to see over a dozen works of mural art in the borough with the highest concentration of artists in the country. Works range from 2-9 storeys tall! Off to the entertainment district where the biggest festivals take centre stage before checking out the waterfront and river from a hidden spot by the port. Next is the Gaybourhood. We stop at pedestrian mall open all summer, great for people watching. The main strip houses art installations, music performances and great drag bars. Picnic in a local non-touristy park with a craft beer is next (afternoon 2:30pm departures stop for cheeky sorbet instead of a picnic and are 3 hours long not 4). Last bit we pedal by typical streets with baroque balconies, winding staircases, mansarded roofs and beautiful green alleyways. We'll hit up a few more iconic parks we locals call our living rooms before we get back to the shop to hand you a list of recommendations for the best food, local shopping, cool art galleries and the best bars. The essentials of travel, quoi. This is a great intro to the city past and present. The goal is to have you fall in love with Montréal. The tour is informal but informative and a must do.
