“So fun! I’m glad I chose this specific company. I’m from Montréal and have been playing tourist over the last year to explore my city and Spade & Palacio really focus on less popular and more authentic independents stops. I loved learning about all the diverse business owners or vendors and I loved every tasting I couldn’t choose one over the other but maybe the first 😉 haha. The recommendations list had many places I hadn’t been to so I’m keeping that for more research! Merciiiiii”
