Introduction
Experience a full meal spread across multiple eateries in the Mission District on this progressive food tour. Guided by a local food expert, you’ll enjoy a three-course dining adventure with each course at a different restaurant. Perhaps start with savory appetizers like handmade tacos or Latin American snacks, then sit down for a hearty entrée (maybe a famous Mission burrito or an innovative farm-to-table dish), and cap it off with a sweet dessert from a popular bakery or ice cream shop. As you walk between stops, your guide will point out the Mission’s vibrant murals and share the neighborhood’s cultural stories. It’s an evening of great food and local insight, all rolled into one.
What To Expect
- Find your way to the heart of the Mission District.
- Meet your local guide, an insider privy to behind-the-scenes culinary information who will take you to some of the best restaurants, cafes, and bars in the neighborhood.
- Stroll past trendy boutiques and colourful murals.
- Listen to engaging commentary from your guide about the neighborhood's Latino culture and history.
- Stop at four local eateries for a full meal, with two appetizers, one entrée, and one dessert.

- Along the way, hear stories of the establishments’ owners, chefs, and bartenders to give you a behind-the-scenes perspective.
- End your progressive meal near Dolores Park, where you're free to spend the evening walking and exploring the vibrant neighborhood on your own. This experience focuses on quality, not quantity. Yes, you’ll leave satisfied, but you should taste and experience food in a new way – and this is about the quality and flavour! Great things come in small packages…
