About the New Orleans Food Tour

New Orleans tells its story through food, and the New Orleans Food Tour (Bayou Brews and Bites at checkout) lets you taste that story one dish at a time.

Meet your guide at Gazebo Cafe on Decatur Street, then spend about three hours moving through the French Quarter between four or five stops. From gumbo and jambalaya to beignets and po’boys, every bite carries centuries of French, Spanish, African and Creole influence — and all the food on the tour is included in your ticket. Drinks are on you, so order whatever you like along the way.

Along the way, your guide brings it to life with stories of the city’s food history, the chefs who shaped it and the secrets behind its signature dishes. Choose noon for a long, lazy lunch or 6 PM to start your night out; either way, bring your appetite (and anyone 12 or older).

  • Learn how French, Spanish, African and Creole heritage shaped the city’s cuisine

Good to know

  • About ¾ mile of walking

    Every Revelry tour involves about three-quarters of a mile of walking in total, spread across the walks between stops.

  • Rain or shine

    Tours run rain or shine — almost the entire experience takes place indoors. If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella for the walks between stops. If the weather keeps us from running your tour, you can reschedule. If rescheduling doesn’t work for you, you’ll receive a full refund.

  • Reschedule up to 12 hours before

    All sales are final, but you can reschedule your tour any time up to 12 hours before it starts. Tickets bought less than 12 hours before the start time are final sale and can’t be rescheduled.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the food included in the ticket price?

Yes. All the food on the tour is included in your ticket — come hungry. Drinks aren’t included — order and pay for anything you’d like along the way.

Can people under 21 attend?

Yes. All of Revelry’s food tours are recommended for guests ages 12 and older.

Which places do we visit?

We can’t give away all of our secrets just yet! The tour visits 4–5 locations. We don’t guarantee specific locations, because we sometimes have to change a stop at the last minute for reasons beyond our control.

How big are the groups?

Small. Food tours are limited to 14 guests, so there’s room to chat with your guide and get to know the group.

Can we book a private tour?

Yes. Any of our tours can be made private: the whole tour for just your group, with your own guide and no public guests. We can personalize it — including different starting and ending locations and non-standard start times. Group size follows the tour’s usual capacity. Contact us for a custom quote; private tours are booked with 50% down, with the remaining 50% due 14 days before your tour. All sales on private tours are final. If your plans change after booking, we’ll apply what you’ve paid as a credit toward a tour in any of our cities.

How much walking is involved?

Every Revelry tour involves about three-quarters of a mile of walking in total, spread across the walks between stops. Wear comfortable shoes. If you have questions about mobility or access, call us at 855-938-2211 before you book and we’ll talk you through the route.

What happens if it rains?

Tours run rain or shine — almost the entire experience takes place indoors. If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella for the walks between stops.

What if the weather is too bad to run the tour?

If the weather keeps us from running your tour, you can reschedule. If rescheduling doesn’t work for you, you’ll receive a full refund.

Can I reschedule?

All sales are final, but you can reschedule your tour any time up to 12 hours before it starts. Tickets bought less than 12 hours before the start time are final sale and can’t be rescheduled.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

No. Food and dessert tours aren’t covered by our money-back guarantee, which applies to every other Revelry tour. If weather stops us from running your tour, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.
