Beyond the Plate Food Tours

Beyond the Plate Food Tours delivered an absolutely unforgettable evening for our group! From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned and executed. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were spot-on, and the desserts were the perfect sweet ending (or middle in my case!). What truly set this experience apart was the opportunity to interact with the restaurant owners—such a special touch that made the night feel personal and unique. Our guide, Alessia, was nothing short of amazing. She brought the area’s history to life with engaging stories, and her warm, joyful personality made everyone feel welcome and excited to be part of the tour. She truly elevated the entire experience and made it one we’ll be talking about for a long time. I can’t wait to join Alessia again—whether it’s another food tour, a cocktail class, or a cooking experience. The possibilities are endless, and if this night was any indication, every option is a guaranteed hit!

This was my first food tour. It was such a great experience meeting the restaurant owners and hearing all about their journey from other countries and coming to Kearny NJ and started their restaurants. The food items were traditional food items that they had been making since they were young . Each restaurant was a homage to the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. I enjoyed tasting all the different delicious foods and desserts. I enjoyed meeting everyone on the tour. Looking forward to participating in future food tour events. Thank you to the host of beyond the plate.

Beyond the Plate Food Tours did an exceptional job planning the most special night for our group! The customized experience, dietary accommodations and unique food we had the opportunity to eat was delicious and made for a fun and memorable evening! Alessia is an incredible host and guide and just a joy of a person as well! Can’t wait to use her again!

Our group tour of Red Bank, New Jersey restaurants was absolutely outstanding! Alessia guided us to three incredible spots, each serving full meals that were both delicious and generous. It was an abundance of food paired with great conversation, and Alessia enriched the experience with wonderful insights about each establishment. I highly recommend Beyond the Plate Food Tours—you’re guaranteed a fantastic day filled with amazing food and an exceptional tour guide.

This was one of the most lovely experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending! We toured Jersey City having a little bit of food and some amazing drinks at each stop! I will not reveal where we went, but, our hostess Alessia is always mixing it up anyway! Constantly changing locations and restaurants so you are never bored. But let me just say I had an absolutely amazing time trying some delicious food at places I had never been! I also appreciated a little bit of history we got at every stop! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves Jersey city or wants to experience it!

Alessia is amazing. The Hispanic heritage food tour in Kearny was a great experience. Learning of great little family-owned Hispanic cuisine that I would not have had the opportunity to try was it not for discovering them on this food tour. Great job!

I had no idea what to expect when I booked a Beyond the Plate Food Tour. Alessia was amazing to work with from start to finish. She helped to plan an amazing day for a bachelorette party. Our tour guide Kyle was phenomenal and we even asked him to hang out with us after our tour bar hopping! This was such an experience and something everyone needs to try. The food and restaurants were 5 ⭐️. I would do this again in a heart beat. If you’re looking for something out of the box and wanting to try the best restaurants New Jersey has to offer, book a food tour TODAY! you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Alessia and Kyle! It was an unforgettable day!

Our family is from out of state, up state and Jersey City itself. We all enjoyed learning about the great places to eat. Thank you for introducing us to all the wonderful food "right in the neighborhood". Alessia , you're the best.
