John and Monica welcomed us warmly and taught us the secrets of making the perfect dim sum.John's dinner was delicious and accompanied by interesting and fun stories about his Mauritian and Canadian family/culture. It was such a pleasure to spend an evening with this lovely couple. Highly recommend!

We booked a private tour of the Jean Talon Market with Mayssam so that we could get a tour of the market and food tastings to serve as lunch all wrapped into one. Mayssam met us outside La Librairie Gourmand as scheduled. She gave us a full tour of the market and its history as we walked around, several delicious tastings customized to our wishes, as well as recommendations and time for shopping. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Mayssam!

It IS really an experience to have if you are ready to discover the real food experience: cooking, sauces, Michelin stars, asian cooking... and: if you REALLY want to eat great food made by a connoisseur, that's the place (local food, great ecologic values...). The Chef is very routined at explaining you the real thing and, in a more intimate way: in letting you taste the outcome... Great experience. Really worth it.

We did the Chinatown tour and dumpling making class with Judy and it was honestly a wonderful experience. We met at a coffee shop to start off the tour and Judy gave us an overview of the history of Vancouver Chinatown before we started walking. Unexpectedly, we ended up being the only folks on the tour that day, so we had essentially a private tour, which was great. We walked few blocks around the commercial area and went into various shops and markets, where Judy seemed to know literally everyone. We went to a lovely Chinese tea shop where they did a tasting with us, and also popped into a delicious dim sum shop to get steam buns and spring rolls. At the end of the tour, we went into another local restaurant to make dumplings – Judy had pre-made 2 yummy fillings and we learned how to fold the dumplings in a traditional way before cooking them and having them for lunch. It was educational, entertaining, a little bit active, and an afternoon well spent. We'd originally booked another Chinatown tour since we thought this experience would be more of a dumpling making class than tour, but we ended up cancelling the other tour since this experience was so informative!
