<div class="cardx-desc"><p>St. Louis has two stories: the one the Gateway Arch tells, and the one told in corner diners and Italian kitchens where working people invented the food this city argues about. Our downtown tours cover both, with toasted ravioli, Provel, smoked brisket and gooey butter cake.</p></div>

Five stops, three hours and the St. Louis that locals know best. Walk downtown with a guide, skipping the tourist traps for neighborhood favorites, slow-smoked barbecue and the classics this city swears by, plus a Secret Dish revealed only on the day.

Meeting Spot

<p style="margin-left:0px;">St. Louis has two stories. One is told by the Gateway Arch: big, gleaming and triumphant. The other lives in the corner diners, Italian kitchens and neighborhood bakeries where working people invented the food this city still argues about. Our St. Louis culinary tour gives you both.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">You start at the Old Courthouse, where landmark cases in American history were argued. From there, your guide leads you through downtown's century of stories. You'll hear about 1904, when St. Louis was the fourth-largest city in America and hosted the World's Fair and the Olympic Games in the same year. Then you'll see the city's newest chapter on Washington Avenue, where grand red brick buildings line one of the liveliest streets downtown.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">Along the way, you taste the dishes St. Louis gave the world. Things like toasted ravioli, born from a clumsy cook, and Provel, the city's iconic and divisive smoky cheese. Then there's gooey butter cake, a Depression-era miscalculation turned into the city's favorite dessert, and slow-smoked brisket from a smokehouse showing off the St Louis's serious barbecue credentials. And somewhere on the route waits our Secret Dish. We don't reveal what it is until the dish hits your table.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">Our local guides know these stories because they live here. They'll tell you which immigrant kitchens shaped the way this city eats, the happy accidents behind its most famous dishes, and what a world's fair from more than a century ago has to do with your plate. You get the history behind each bite, from the people who know this city best. By the end, you'll leave knowing why St. Louisans are so protective of their food, and chances are you'll side with them.</p>

What you'll do

Due to the nature of creating a well balanced and thoughtful gastronomy experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate certain dietary restrictions. Please <a href="mailto:paris@secrettours.com">contact us</a> prior to booking your tour to see if we are able to accommodate your dietary needs.

What you'll taste

<p style="margin-left:0px;">Downtown is where St. Louis began, and where much of its story still stands. The Old Courthouse and the Gateway Arch share the skyline. A diner from 1904 still works its griddle a few blocks away. Along Washington Avenue, ten-story brick and terra-cotta buildings from the garment district's heyday now hold apartments above one of the city's liveliest streets.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">It's also where St. Louis comes together. On game days, fans pack the blocks between the ballpark, the hockey arena and the soccer stadium, and the corner bars fill with regulars and visitors alike.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">For a St. Louis culinary tour, downtown puts the whole city within walking distance: two centuries of history, the dishes locals grew up on, and the independent spots keeping those dishes on the menu.</p>
