In November I met up with fellow food blogger, Erin Zimmer, from Serious Eats, who came to Montreal for the weekend to explore the food scene. I took her on my personal foodie tour of Montreal

Since Erin is serious foodie at heart, I created a special tour of Montreal just for her. It’s a 48-hour gourmet tour of the city, which is ideal for any visitors staying for the weekend. If you have a hearty appetite and a strong stomach — Erin tried everything I suggested — then see if you can eat your way through our epicurean itinerary!
