Beyond the Plate Food Tours

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!

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.

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!

I had an incredible experience on this tour! Alessia was an exceptional guide, leading us through Jersey City with stops for delicious food and amazing drinks at every turn. She keeps things exciting by always mixing up the locations, so you’re in for a fresh adventure each time. The tour introduced me to fantastic spots I’d never visited before, and I loved the touch of history shared at every stop. It was a perfect blend of fun, flavor, and discovery. If you’re a fan of Jersey City or looking to explore it in a unique way, I can’t recommend this tour enough!

I contacted Alessia sharing about the undergraduate course that focuses on women in the food industries. She did an amazing job at curating a customized tour of women-run and owned establishments in Jersey City for my students! My students had such an amazing time sampling food and learned so much from the different chefs and owners. One of my students told me it was one of the highlights of her college experience and another said she was reconsidering her career path because she felt so inspired by these women. Alessia was patient, flexible, and accommodating along every step of planning. It was such a great experience!

We had a great food tour in Somerville NJ. Our tour guide was knoweldgeable about the area and food. All the food was wonderful and pairings of wine, beer and cider were perfect. I would 100% recommend to all!

We attended a Beyond the Plate Food Tour in Red Bank on October 19, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Our tour guide was Elena and she did a great job. She was very attentive and informative about the town and the food we shared. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to sample a town's cuisine, try new food and meet new people. Great weather on our tour day was a bonus!! Thank you Elena!
