Taste the Flavours of St. Louis

This St. Louis food tour takes you beyond the usual tourist attractions and introduces you to local dishes and hidden food gems.

Sample a selection of St. Louis favourites as you explore the Central West End. From savoury toasted ravioli to the city’s famous gooey butter cake, each tasting offers an insight into the local food culture.

There is plenty to enjoy, with generous tastings served along the route. Many guests find there is enough food to skip dinner afterwards.

Discover St. Louis History

Between tastings, your local guide brings St. Louis history to life with stories from two very different periods.

Learn about the city’s Gilded Age and the 1904 World’s Fair, which attracted visitors from around the world and showcased St. Louis as a major American city.

The tour also explores more difficult chapters of the city’s past, including the social and economic divisions that contributed to the Delmar Divide and the wider story of race and inequality in St. Louis.

This balanced approach offers a deeper understanding of the city, exploring both its achievements and the challenges that have shaped modern St. Louis.
