Even God needs a break, so no. Sometimes, our local food heroes go on vacation, just like the rest of us. Around 6 stops will always be open. But bear in mind that the opening times are subject to change.
I'm a vegetarian / vegan. Can I join?
Vegetarians, rejoice! We have veggie options for all stops except for two (fish and meat). Vegans, we’re sorry. This country runs on butter and eggs.
Which language is this in?
It’s exclusively in English.
Can I do few stops on one day and the rest on the other?
We recommend to do all stops in one day to have full experience, but we understand that sometimes you can’t try all food and want to split it. So yes, you can split it for few days, but please keep in mind that after booking you get a time slot, and if you split there is a high chance that when you come next day place can be booked with other visitors.
