WE CARE ABOUT YOU, and we're happy to accommodate most* dietary restrictions + allergies.
Here's how we approach your enjoyment on our award-winning food tours.
Since 2011, Culinary Adventure Co. experiences have been crafted to celebrate the best and most signature items from each of our vendors, shops and restaurants.
It's their dishes, their bites, and their stories that make the difference.
Those celebrated dishes and bites may include allergens or dietary restrictions, BUT we offer so much variety and choice on our Food Tours that should you miss a bite, or have a dish / flavour swapped out to accommodate - you or those guests effected will always leave full and satisfied.
Please review our main FAQs for our full Dietary Restriction + Food Allergy approach.

NOTE: Vegan, Halal and strict Kosher can unfortunately not be accommodated on our Big Cheese and MICHELIN® Experiences.
