Itinerary
Step into a true boulangerie de quartier, an artisanal neighborhood bakery that prides itself on organic ingredients and traditional sourdough. Here, you will taste two perfect French classics: a piece of their baguette tradition and chouquettes.
A true family-owned Montmartre institution that has been serving locals since 1889. Their specialty is seafood, and their award-winning team has even won the annual oyster shucking contest to prove it! You'll taste their expertise with a flight of four French oysters, each from a different coastal region, all perfectly paired with a crisp glass of white wine.
To experience a true taste of Parisian daily life, we'll visit a traditional artisan butcher shop beloved by the local community for its high-quality French meats and house-made specialties. Here, you will sample a slice of their exquisite rosette a classic of French charcuterie.
A charming brasserie recently revamped with a new menu designed by French "Top Chef" contestant Chloe Charles. Here, you'll experience a classic regional speciality: a hearty sausage served with their famous aligot. Be ready for a show, as this delicious mix of mashed potatoes and fresh cheese is stretched and served tableside, creating its iconic, cheesy texture right before your eyes.
Next, we'll visit the locals' favorite cheese shop (fromagerie) in Montmartre, a place that specializes in high-quality cheeses from small, independent producers. You'll enjoy a curated tasting of several French PDO cheeses: a mix of cow, goat, and sheep's milk, all perfectly paired with a sweet fruit jelly.
We'll indulge our sweet tooth at a unique artisan chocolate shop. For the past decade, they have been the only chocolatier in Paris to roast 100% of their own cocoa beans in their central city workshop. You'll taste the exceptional quality this bean-to-bar process creates with a sample of their signature chocolate and a delicious chocolate-hazelnut spread.
This artisanal shop specializes in liquors and jams made from rare varieties of citrus, all grown on their family farm. You'll taste the sunshine with a sample of their bright citrus jam and a delicate, house-made amaretti cookie flavored with almond and citrus zest.
Explore the historic Le Bateau Lavoir, a legendary hub of the Belle Époque art scene. Once home to Picasso, Modigliani, and other avant-garde artists, this modest building played a key role in modern art history.
Admire La Maison Rose, a picturesque pink house and a favorite haunt for artists, which witnessed the tragic love story that inspired Picasso's Blue Period.
Uncover the hidden vineyard of Clos Montmartre, one of the last in central Paris, offering a glimpse into the area's long history of viticulture and the celebrated Harvest Festival.
Step into Le Lapin Agile, an iconic cabaret dating back to the 1850s, once a vibrant meeting spot for struggling artists like Picasso, Modigliani, and Utrillo.
Visit one of Paris’s most famous pastry shops, renowned for its macarons crafted with creative, seasonal flavors. Enjoy a tasting of a signature macaron: with rose, raspberry, and lychee, or with milk chocolate and passion fruit.

It was great, so much great food. Sten is amazing!
Nora was an amazing guide! We loved our tour! Beautiful sights and amazing food! What a fun way to explore Paris! Highly recommend!
We booked a private tour for our group of 8. Salma was very knowledgeable of the area, interesting tidbits of information and she took us to all the yummiest unique places to eat. So delicious!! She was able to accommodate our friend with her nut allergies and my 12 yr old nephew who wouldn’t be the most adventurous as far as food goes. Truly the best tour.
We had a phenomenal tour with Claire who was very knowledgeable and passionate! There was quite a lot of food on the tour with two glasses of wine and if you are not picky or finicky and if you don't eat a "whole cow" for lunch, you will leave full! The choices of food are excellent and the history described by Claire is worth hearing. This tour got 4.9 out of 5 stars on Viator so.... read the reviews and book! Thank you Claire. All the best to you. Jay and Margarita from NJ.
We had a fantastic time on our food tour through Montmartre! We did this on our first full day in Paris with our family of 5, which included kids age 11-16, so opted for the private tour option. Our guide, Claire, was great and really taught us a lot about being a tourist in Paris and the food and how best to experience it. We also got some great history about the neighborhood. My kids all tried new things, and everyone agreed this was a highlight of our trip.
Sven was a wonderful guide. Very kind and patient and not rushing us
Decent activity. It is a shame that we could not enter the various service providers' premises to get explanations and contact with them. We had done the activity in Florence and we had loved our experience. We are disappointed by the one in Paris.
This was our second tour with eating Europe. They are a fantastic company! Betsy was our delightful, bright, insightful Montmartre Guide and we enjoyed so many delicious items, learned about Parisian food, and gained real insight into Montmartre history of art and culture. Not a factory tour- a specialized experience!Thank you!
