WHAT TO EXPECT

On this 3 hour tour you’ll experience the cultural delights of 6 different countries over 8 unique food stops.

With a mixture of sweet & savoury tastings, you’ll soon discover that Coburg is an ideal foodie destination for anyone who’s tired of the ‘standard’ menu items you find in most modern cafes. Bursting with atmosphere, each foodie stop brings its own ‘personal touch’ with business owners proud of their cultural heritage, so obviously reflected in the food they prepare, the way they serve it and the way they interact with their customers.

But that’s not all… we’ll pop into a Middle-Eastern gold jewellery shop to learn the cultural significance of various pieces, learn some local history and the best local foodie tips. Nicknamed ‘Coolburg’ this is an area still filled with old-school charm and where the old & new blend perfectly.

Was such a lovely experience. Nice to try new places we only ever walk past and not enter. We will most certainly be back to purchase goodies from some of those restaurants/cafes. Our tour guide was fantastic!
