About this tour
Discover Rome's street food scene through a plant-based lens on this 2.5-hour walking tour led by a vegan advocate. You'll taste classics reimagined—crispy rice supplì, golden-fried artichokes in the Jewish Quarter, Roman pizza, and gelato—all completely vegan. Learn where locals eat and how to navigate the city's food culture as a plant-based traveller, moving beyond the assumption that Roman cuisine demands animal products.

What to expect
Expect a relaxed 2.5-hour stroll through Rome's older quarters, stopping at working food stalls and small eateries rather than sit-down restaurants. Your guide will explain the history behind each dish—how supplì earned its place in street food folklore, why the Jewish Quarter's fried artichoke is non-negotiable—and give you the language and confidence to order confidently elsewhere. You'll taste five or six items, each included, with soft drinks provided. The pace allows chat and questions; this isn't rushed.
Good to know
All food is vegan by design; no animal products anywhere on the itinerary. Prams and strollers welcome. Comfortable walking shoes recommended for uneven cobbles. Gratuities not included but always appreciated. Service animals permitted.
