About Us

Foodies Day Out

An Experience by The Hungry Traveller
It all began with a group of friends who loved good food, great stories and discovering new experiences. We spent countless evenings hanging out at our favourite local eateries in Madurai-eating, talking, laughing and swapping stories from our travels. One such evening, over a meal, a simple thought came up: “Why don’t we share this with people travelling to our city?”
That conversation became Foodies Day Out, one of India’s early food-tour experiences, created under The Hungry Traveller.

Today, we continue to share Madurai the way we know and love it-not as conventional tour guides, but as locals taking you to the places we enjoy, sharing the food we love and the stories that make our city special. For us, it has never been just about what’s on the plate; it’s about the people, conversations and connections that happen around it. Come hang out with us. There’s a side of Madurai we’d love to show you.

Why Choose Us

Not Tour Guides. Local Foodies.
We are NOT “Tour guides”. We do this because we love our food and want to share it with foodies travelling to our city. Our Local Foodies are accomplished Doctors, Engineers, Entrepreneurs, Architects etc who share a common passion – FOOD. This should feel like going out with friends in Madurai-not joining a tour bus.
That’s Foodies Day Out.

Every stop on the tour is somewhere our Foodies team knows, loves and repeatedly visits.
More Than Food
Hear the stories, traditions and quirks behind what you’re eating from a local.
