On a first visit, a guided food tour is the quickest way to taste the city: it covers the dishes you would otherwise have to hunt down, in the places worth going to. If you have more time, add a hands-on class or a tasting, and keep one evening free to eat on your own.
Book a day or two ahead, more in high season and at weekends. Most experiences on GetYourGuide can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before they start.
