About this tour
Follow Michelin-trained Chef Abram through Turin's Porta Palazzo market on a 3.5-hour morning that shifts with the season and vendor stock rather than a fixed checklist. You'll taste what's peak that day—seasonal produce, cured meats, cheese—chat with suppliers Chef knows personally, then anchor yourself with espresso and a brioche in a historic café before a relaxed street-food finale. No script, no crowds, just the market as locals move through it.

What to expect
Expect a deliberately unstructured morning. Chef Abram navigates Porta Palazzo according to what's best in the market that day—you're not ticking boxes, you're following his instincts and connections. You'll stop at stalls, taste producers' latest offerings, hear the names and stories behind them. The pace is unhurried; there's time to linger, ask questions, watch the rhythm of a working market. Mid-morning, you'll settle into a neighbourhood café for proper breakfast—espresso, cappuccino, warm brioche. The walk concludes with an authentic local bite (Roman-style pizza or similar) and gelato, often eaten standing up or sitting wherever locals perch.
Good to know
Book with dietary requirements upfront—severe allergies aren't suitable due to vendor cross-contamination risks. Minimum two people; reschedule or refund if not met. Public transport is nearby; no hotel pickup included. Wear comfortable shoes; the market is uneven underfoot. Bring a small bag for any last-minute purchases.
