Private New Orleans French Quarter food tour

Your private culinary tour of New Orleans starts where it all began — the banks of the Mississippi River. To wake up your taste buds, you’ll indulge in New Orleans’ most iconic breakfast pastry, the beignet. Next, head to The French Market, the site of America’s oldest public market, and stop for a local bite. From the French Market, you’ll embark on the picturesque streets of the French Quarter where your guide will take you to some of their favorite palate-pleasing spots. You’ll sample both a classic New Orleans dish, as well as a delicacy that you’ve probably never seen outside Cajun country. On this tour, you’ll have the chance to try a dish that sparks more controversy amongst chefs than any other in New Orleans: gumbo. Learn how hundreds of years of history have shaped this recipe and how it can vary from restaurant to restaurant. Finally, finish off with a sweet treat made from locally grown sugarcane and the region’s abundant pecans. You can take your praline to-go and indulge when your sweet tooth kicks in.
