Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Manchester worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Manchester and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Manchester?

With so many tempting flavors in Manchester, it can be hard to pick a favorite. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the city’s fresh and diverse cuisine, including locally sourced meats, fish, and seasonal produce, as well as traditional British dishes like hearty pies and freshly baked breads. Manchester is also known for its artisan cheeses, independent cafés, and bakeries offering classic sweets and pastries, making it a true haven for food lovers.

Are tourists welcome in Manchester?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Manchester tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Manchester.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Manchester experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
