If you are a City Centre resident or student - these walking tours of Midtown eateries are for you.

See the details below to register for a fun and yum session. Get to know who's who and what's available just a short a distance from where you study or live.

These tours recur every 3rd Friday and Saturday of each month.

Are you a new or returning city centre student? Or - do you live in the city centre?

Well, it's time to discover, or rediscover, your neighbourhood, meet the people behind the counters, and hear the stories that shape Midtown - all while you enjoy a bite at each stop - just enough to spark your next go-to for when you don’t feel like cooking!

It’s casual, conversational, and all about great food and great people.
