Join our Secret Food Tours Philadelphia and discover why the “City of Brotherly Love” is also a city of incredible flavors. On this three-hour guided experience, we’ll take you through Reading Terminal Market, Chinatown, and historic central Philly, sampling dishes that showcase the city’s rich mix of cultures and culinary traditions.
Your journey begins inside the legendary Reading Terminal Market, a paradise for food lovers since 1893. Here, you’ll start with a warm, freshly made Amish donut, the perfect sweet bite to kick things off. Next, prepare for a dish that fuses two Philly icons: the pretzel cheesesteak, crafted with sourdough pretzel dough, tender beef, and toppings sourced from local market vendors.
From there, we’ll stroll through the colorful Friendship Arch into Chinatown, where you’ll taste an authentic Malaysian specialty, roti canai - flaky flatbread with layers so light they melt in your mouth. Our next stop takes you to an Irish tavern dating back to the 1800s, where we’ll enjoy classic pierogis, made the same way for generations.
As we circle back to Reading Terminal Market, you’ll gain insider knowledge of this culinary hub and discover more of its artisan vendors. And of course, as with all our tours, you’ll finish with our delicious Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.
By the end, you’ll have experienced Philly’s food scene in a way few visitors ever do - beyond the cheesesteak, into the true heart of the city’s diverse flavors.
