About this tour
Toasted ravioli, Provel cheese and gooey butter cake rarely make it beyond St. Louis, and this tour puts all three on your plate in one walk through downtown. In three hours you’ll taste 5 local originals with a guide who knows the story behind each one, including a Provel-sealed calzone and brisket smoked low and slow at a pitmaster-led smokehouse.
Start at the Old Courthouse, hear how the 1904 World’s Fair and Olympics put St. Louis on the map, and stroll the grand brick blocks of Washington Avenue before finishing in sight of the Gateway Arch. The first stop? A Secret Dish at a spot locals have loved for over a century, revealed only when it hits your table.

Eat Like A Lou-Natic! STL's Tastiest History Tour
St Louis, Missouri
4.8 · 66 reviews on Viator
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert — one afternoon, on foot, all St. Louis originals. From the diner-legend "slinger" to our signature toasted ravioli, a Guy Fieri fave and the controversial Provel cheese. Plus a few surprises we'd rather not spoil. We'll grab a seat and a bite at climate-controlled neighborhood gems across STL's most enduring neighborhood, the Central West End. Most guests skip dinner. Between bites, a St. Louis local walks you through this historic enclave — where Gilded Age fortunes built mansions and the cocktail party was invented. Hear the stories guidebooks skip: beer barons, the check that bought the Spirit of St. Louis, the Delmar Divide, and the arc of wealth, race, and power that still shapes this city. We don't dress up the uncomfortable parts. Looking for a sanitized Chamber-of-Commerce tour? This isn't it. If you want the real story of a real American city, come hungry.
