Going a few hundred years back in the Persian history, food had to be prepared and catered in-house by the female head of the household. The idea of eating out was still a taboo until the first bakery was opened in Tehran by a Russian expat in 1931, which then was expanded to a cafe where people could snack out.
Tehran is a metropolis of over 12 million people, which means a huge demand of diverse tastes in food and drinks. A food feast like no other cities in Iran, Tehran offers cooked and baked goods to cater to all different tastes, from strictly vegan/vegetarian to meat lovers and in between. The myth that Persian cuisines are heavily meat based will be proven wrong on this tour and if you haven’t already fallen for the Persian dishes you’ll have another chance.
Cafes have also played a big cultural role and are now regarded as one of the trendiest options for youngsters to meet up- thanks to Instagram, as well! There are more than 300 cafes in Tehran with their unique stories and ambiance.

Exploration doesn’t end here! Iran is also famous for its tasty organic fruits and dried fruits. We will check out dried nuts shops and green grocers in search of the tastiest local fruits. On the way back we’ll visit a juice shop to quench our thirst with a traditional Persian drink.

This tour will take you through an immersive experience of Iranian delicacies.
