Destination
of the month
The destination that inspired us to start writing food tours! Cartagena’s cuisine is vibrant, flavourful, and deeply tied to its history and coastal setting. Modern restaurants build on traditional flavors, presenting them in creative, contemporary ways that highlight local seafood, tropical fruits, and native spices.
Street food, however, is where Cartagena truly comes alive. On plazas, beaches, and street corners, vendors sell their freshly made treats. Perhaps the most iconic street presence is the palenquera women in brightly colored dresses balancing bowls of fresh tropical fruit on their heads.
Eating in Cartagena, whether at a street stall or a modern restaurant, is a feast for the senses and a celebration of the city’s rich culinary heritage.

Is a Food Tour Worth It? — A Practical Guide to the Pros and Cons
If you’re visiting a new city and curious about food, then you might be wondering if it’s worthwhile to do a food tour. If you’re unfamiliar with the local cuisine, then a food tour can be a great way to gain a basic introduction. A food tour gives you quick access to discovering iconic dishes, hygienic stalls and restaurants, and local context you’d likely miss on your own.
Why Tourists Miss the Best Spots in Hanoi
We’ll share common tourist mistakes and show you some tips on how to avoid them. The best spots are often out of sight because they don’t advertise, they sit in narrow lanes, or they serve neighbourhoods rather than tourists. We’ll show you how being conscious of a few small decisions, will help take your food discovery journey to the next level!
Where to Eat in Hanoi: Best Areas for Food Lovers
Our self-guided food tour is based in and around Hanoi’s charming old quarter. Narrow alleys hold dozens of tiny shops and carts selling the city’s most iconic dishes, making it the perfect place to start your Vietnamese street food journey. This area offers a distinct slice of Hanoi’s food culture: late-night beer and bar snacks, grilled meats and rice dishes, traditional sweets and noodles.
