Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Dortmund worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Dortmund and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Dortmund?

With so many tempting flavors in Dortmund, it can be tough to pick a favorite. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the city’s hearty Westphalian cuisine, including traditional sausages, smoked meats, and regional specialties like Pfefferpotthast. Dortmund is also known for its fresh breads, artisan cheeses, and cozy bakeries offering classic German pastries.

Are tourists welcome in Dortmund?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Dortmund tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Dortmund.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Dortmund experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
