Summary:
The Footscray Foodie Trail in Melbourne's west is a culinary hotspot! 🍴👌 Our tour took us to heaps of diverse eateries, cafes, Footscray Market and food shops serving up everything from Vietnamese banh mi to African cuisine and Indian curries. It's a real melting pot of flavors! 🌮🌯
The trail's all about exploring the local food scene, meeting the people behind the produce, and enjoying the unique flavors of Footscray. I highly recommend this tour & am telling my friends to give it a go - you won’t be disappointed.

Summary:
Kim, our guide, was vibrant, engaging and very knowledgeable. The tour highlighted the mix of cultures and, importantly, foods that make Footscray so interesting. While I live in Melbourne I rarely go to Footscray and this was a great reminder of what a fabulous foodie place it is. We enjoyed fantastic Italian cannoli, the best Bahn mi I think I have ever had, a first introduction to Ethiopian food, India masala chai and Filipino inspired gelato. Wow!!!! Now I have had this guided tour around foodie Footscray I am inspired to return and do some more of exploring. So come and be a tourist in your own city. It’s great!!!!

Summary:
Our tour of Footscray with Annaliese was an interesting excursion into some different culinary worlds, particularly those of Ethiopia and Somalia. Overall it was a really good experience and we managed to taste a variety of dishes. The only addition we would suggest might be to get into one of the restaurant kitchens to see the preparation.
