The manifesto

We believe that the best travel memories come from real connection with food, with locals, with fellow travelers, and with that place.

We create experiences that feel personal and rooted in the culture of each city. In a world of distractions, we slow things down to share stories around the table, to meet locals who live their city, and to make every bite meaningful.

We do this not just for our guests but because we love to travel this way.

Our Values

We craft experiences that reflect how locals vibe, working with real partners and an amazing team of local Sherpas. This is our craft and our promise.

Everybody calls me Tony! I love how food can shape and reflect a local culture, every dish tells a story, and what makes it even more meaningful are the people who share it. In my free time, you can find me exploring a museum or attending an art exhibition.
