Full description

Eat as the locals do on a foodie walking tour around the iconic eateries of New Orleans. Immerse yourself in authentic flavors and scents while enjoying eight sample tastings and four cocktails. Visit spots like Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter and Dickie Brennan’s award-winning Tableau.

Begin your walking tour at Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. Start with alligator sausage and seafood gumbo as you learn a bit about the colonial period of Louisiana’s history.

Move four blocks down and enter Pepper Palace to discuss the Cajun influence and sample an unlimited variety of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, buffalo wing sauces, salsas, dry rubs, and more. Receive a free bottle of Louisiana-style hot sauce if you shop at this location. 

Afterward, visit Leah’s Pralines, a 3rd generation family-owned candy store. Sample traditional pralines and their unique bacon pecan brittle. Visit the iconic Napoleon House restaurant for some of their specialties — muffuletta sandwiches, a Pimm’s Cup cocktail, and a side of Creole jambalaya.

Arrive at Dickie Brennan’s Tableau to sip on your next cocktail: the French 75, a combo of fresh lemon, brandy or gin, and bubbles. From there, pass through the famous Jackson Square towards Café du Monde

Stroll along the French Market area and land at the James Beard Award-nominated Cane and Table. Round off your tour by sampling their unique curry pork skins, fried plantains, and a classic daiquiri.

This tour was everything I wanted from a food tour - the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, the food was delicious, and I finished with a very full stomach and a very happy heart. I loved the intertwining of food into the city’s history and getting to learn the origins of some very unique foods.

Ben was an amazing guide for our tour. We felt like we were visiting local favorites with an age old friend who knew the city like the back of his hand. We heard great stories of the history of New Orleans peppered with great humor while sipping cocktails and enjoying fantastic food. Other than the food, drinks, and stories, we really appreciated that most of the interactions, other than walking between locations, took place indoors with the AC and not outside in the July heat and humidity as several other tours we did during our trip were.

This was a fun and educational tour with top quality food and drinks. We found ourselves returning to some of the bars and resteraunts during our week in New Orleans. We were very fortunate to have a private tour with our guide, Nate as we were the only couple scheduled for the tour that day. Nate is a history graduate of Loyola and had great historical knowledge of the city and the food and drink. It was a relaxed and fun afternoon with a really entertaining guide, so glad we chose this tour!!
