About Taste the City.
Know Local
Taste the City’s unique approach allows you to explore the vibrant restaurant culture in your neighbourhood. With each spot carefully timed, pre-paid, and thoughtfully curated, Taste the City offers a convenient and delightful way to become the foodie of your group by experiencing the best of your local dining scene.
The Mystery
In this exciting experience, you don’t know exactly where you’ll be going or what you’ll be eating. We let the Chef decide! Since it’s all paid beforehand, all you have to do is show up and enjoy! When you get a text with your next spot, you simply get up and leave!
Health & Well-being
A walkable connection to delicious food not only enhances physical well-being but also promotes mental and emotional health. At Taste the City, we seamlessly integrate physical activity and social bonding into each of our tastings, creating an enriching experience for your overall health and well-being.
Our Story
This is the story of two best friends who met in grade one, became inseparable, and then spent the rest of their lives proving that distance means nothing when the connection is real.
Years later, while studying urban planning in Italy, Joanna dove into the slow food movement and fell in love with the idea of connecting people through local cuisine. That lightbulb moment became the spark for Taste the City.
Their dream is to bring Taste the City to food lovers around the world, so that no matter where you go, you’ll always have a local bestie guiding you to the very best bites in town.
