Beyond The Plate Food Tours, Jersey City

If you are a foodie, this tour is definitely for you. The food was delicious, and they definitely do not skimp on portions - you leave completely stuffed and with a great buzz, if you choose to drink! The chefs from each restaurant came out to talk to us about the food, and it was such a great experience to see how proud they were of their food. For drinks, we had wine, whisky, gin, and tequila, and two of the restaurants even gave a bonus shot for us! Alessia was an amazing tour guide and I can't express how phenomenal our experience was to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. The only suggestion that I have is that I wish introductions were facilitated within the group; you'll be spending three hours with one another and it would have been nice to have the tour guide facilitate a discussion between tour attendees. All in all, an amazing experience. Can't wait to try out the other tours from Beyond the Plate!

Alessia, our tour guide, gave us Jersey City history as we walked from the meeting point to the restaurants. We visited four outstanding restaurants serving a variety of food and drink. For drink we sampled gin, beer, wine and margaritas. The food selected at each location was outstanding. We have been on food tours in a number of cities but noteworthy here was Alessia's relationship at each restaurant. In every case the owner and/or chef visited our table to talk about their establishment. I would recommend Beyond the Plate even for those over in Manhattan. The tour started at the Path Station that is two stops from the World Trade Center. Compared to NYC the streets are relaxed as is the atmosphere in the restaurants.
