📖 What happens at the six stops

The tour starts outside Fresco’s Fish and Chips, where the guide welcomes the group and the first tasting takes place. It then continues on foot through Kensington Market and finishes at Fika Café.

Recent examples include fish and chips with kale salad, Jamaican patties, South American empanadas, Japanese pocket sushi and Himalayan dumplings with butter tea. A sweet finish near Fika Café is also described, without identifying the business serving it. The menu has changed over time and none of these dishes is guaranteed.
