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 second-degree Cabot witch, an award-winning filmmaker, a licensed New Orleans tour guide, and a passionate home chef who spent years falling deeper in love with the flavors, folklore, and flat-out strangeness 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 and wove them into one experience unlike anything else in the city. Small bites from restaurants with a history. Ghost stories and vampire lore served alongside small bites and cocktail pairings. A walk through 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

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Taste & Tarot is built on kindness, curiosity, and respect for our guests, our restaurant partners, and our city.
If you enjoy great food, fascinating stories, meaningful conversation, and a little magic, you'll fit right in.

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
No rehearsed scripts or tourist-trap tales. The haunted history, local legends, and vampire lore shared on this tour are the real thing.
Intimate by Design
Eight guests per tour. That's it. Small enough to feel personal, large enough to share the energy of a great afternoon out.
