At No Taste Like Home, we offer several ways to enjoy find dining.
Foraging Tour
Our three-hour foraging tour includes a brief cooking lesson and tasting. You can take the rest of your finds home or have them prepared at one of the restaurants below.
If you are on a morning tour, your reservation can be anytime after 5 pm or the next day. Afternoon tour participants can dine after 8 pm at The Market Place or Tastee Diner or at any of our restaurants the following day.
When you make your reservation, make sure you specify that you’ll be foraging with us. If you have any food restrictions, let them know that too, even if you let us know when you registered.
At the end of the tour, we will bag up three of your wild ingredients. Morning tour groups need to drop them off by 2:30 pm; afternoon tour groups by 6 pm. The restaurant may be closed, but someone will be there. Don’t just leave the bag somewhere; make sure you hand it to someone.
When you return for your meal, your wild dish will be on the house. Purchase of one entree per person is required.
