5.00The restaurants and shops are unique. There is a growing diverse culture, and plethora of new exciting start-up restaurants due to a program that encourages entrepreneurship. The food is great at each of the tasting venues, and the empanadas at Chacabanas are excellent! This is definitely an experience you don't want to miss!

5.00A couple of our bites were really good and gave us ideas to incorporate in our own kitchens. However the environment was really loud except for where we had an inside more private area which was the case in only the meat store and the tea shop.
A fun experience

5.00It was so interesting to hear all of the history behind the market! I especially loved when our tour guide Anne showed us the tile art work in the center and explained the idea behind it! All of the food was so yummy and it was very cool hearing from each business about what they offer, their story, and the inspiration behind all of the food we tried! Would definitely go again!

5.00Our family had an outstanding time on the Findlay Market tour with Barb, from Cincinnati Food Tours. We visited 5 stops, and enjoyed the variety of flavors from Cincinnati goetta (Eckerlin Meats) to Jamaican oxtail curry (Taste of the Isles). We loved Dean's Mediterranean, Babuska Pierogies, and Makers Bakers banana pudding too! This tour is about more than just the great food, though. Barb does a great job introducing you to each restauranteur and sharing their story. We cannot wait to do another food tour with Barb and the Cincinnati Food Tours crew!

5.00Barb was engaging, knowledgeable, and made an effort to learn something about everyone! The tour stops were varied and all delicious. Barb told us that her goal is to connect people with the people who make the food and that was definitely successful! We also learned a lot of great history about the area.
