OUR STORY
Where Food, Fortune & the French Quarter Collide
A tour born from three obsessions: tarot, storytelling, and really good food.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Taste and Tarot started the way the best ideas do. Out of pure passion. Our founder is a licensed New Orleans tour guide, intuitive tarot reader, second degree Cabot witch, and a passionate home chef who spent years falling deeper in love with the flavors, folklore, and hidden beauty of the French Quarter. At some point, keeping those worlds separate stopped making sense.
So she stopped trying. She took the three things she loves most: tarot, storytelling, and food. She wove them into one experience unlike anything else in the city. Small bites from restaurants with remarkable histories. The real stories of New Orleans with its legends, its characters, its hidden courtyards that is shared alongside tasty bites and optional cocktail pairings. A walk through the haunted streets with a guide who actually knows the secrets. And a private tarot reading to close it all out. That's Taste and Tarot.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our Guiding Principles
Curated Flavor
Every restaurant stop is chosen for its food and its history. The bites are small. The stories behind them are not.
Real Stories
Authentic New Orleans history, local legends, and the hidden stories that give this neighborhood its soul . No jump scares, no rehearsed scripts, no tourist-trap tales.
Intimate by Design
Eight guests per tour. That's it. Small enough to feel personal, large enough to share the energy of a wonderful afternoon.
