Some of the companies that have joined us for relaxed team-building

We wanted to take our office staff and a few clients out to lunch but wanted to do something different! So we planned a private Group tour with Alesia which ended up being the perfect combination of Jersey History & Diverse foods that Jersey City is known for! We enjoyed a cocktail at each stop along with so much food I promise you won’t go home hungry! The first stop (Lunas) was our favorite. The mustache whiskey apple cocktail was so amazing we all went to the liquor store after the tour and bought a bottle! Our tour guide -she was sweet and bubbly and did a great job. So glad to have these tours in NJ!

Had a great experience with Matt for a recent company visit to Jersey City! Great way sample some great food and learn a bit about the city during our short trip.

Julia Chick

Beyond the Plate surpassed my expectations! Highly recommended (and I have to friends and family already)! I had a group of 100 people in Jersey City for a work offsite from all over the USA and Canada. Beyond the Plate guided me through the organization of the event and the process could not have been easier. We divided into 4 groups with amazing tour guides in each and rotated between four delicious restaurants. My teams could not stop talking about the experience! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to work with Alessia and her team at Beyond the Plate…really can’t say enough good things about them! They made my event, one to remember!

Katherine Sloan

My work team did a food tour with Alessia at Beyond the Plate in Red Bank, and it was so much fun. She was so informative and was so passionate about making this a great experience for us. She took us to some amazing spots with great food. We all had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!!

Can I sign up on my own or do I need a group of people?

You can totally sign up for a public tour on your own! Or you can choose to bring your significant other, your friends, your parents, or your in-laws (perfect if you’re hosting people from out of town!). The minimum number of sign-ups required to run a public tour in Jersey City is 6, Red Bank/Princeton/Somerville 8, and we max out at 16 (JC & Princeton), and 20 (RB & Somerville). If you don’t see a date on the calendar that works for you and want to host a private tour for 8 or more, please email info@beyondtheplatefoodtours.com or call 551.233.9553.

How much food can we expect? What about alcohol pairings?

We recommend having a light breakfast! By the time we’ve tasted our way through 4 locations, there will be no need for dinner afterward. There are generally 3 drink pairings on every tour and will usually be a mix of select wines, cocktails, or beers.

What if I don’t drink?

Alcohol can be substituted for non-alcoholic beverages.
