Explore landmarks and monuments of Montmartre 

Sample delicious pastries, crepes, and macaroons 

Locally made sable, or cookies  

Try culinary delicacies like mousse de canard, escargot, and wine 

Classic charcuterie and cheese board with wine 

Learn about the history of Montmartre 

Meet Your Local Guide 

To begin eating your way through the charming streets of Montmartre, head to your designated meeting point, which will be sent to you ahead of time. Your local guide will be waiting to greet you, along with your group of fellow foodies. Once everyone has arrived, it will be time to immerse yourself in the fascinating history and culinary wonders of one of Paris’s most adored neighborhoods.  

Remember to pack your camera and wear comfortable shoes! This hilltop district is known for its many steep inclines and staircases, and you’ll be walking about 3.5-4km. 

Marvel at Iconic Sites 

Follow your guide through narrow, cobblestone streets and past stunning buildings, as they lead you to some of the area’s top landmarks. Stop by Moulin Rouge, a world-famous cabaret. Listen intently as your knowledgeable guide explains the venue’s history, including a devastating fire which destroyed the original building in 1915. 

Later, you’ll dive deeper into the neighborhood’s history as you admire Le Bateau-Lavoir, an iconic building celebrated for the legendary artists that once lived and created here. Pablo Picasso, Kees Van Dongen, and Max Jacob are just a few of the notable artists that once called this building home. 

Pastries From a Traditional Boulangerie 

Your first culinary stop of the tour will be an authentic boulangerie, or bakery. Indulge in delectable French pastries, including two chouquettes and your choice of a croissant or pain au chocolate. We guarantee, you can’t go wrong with either choice!  

Choose Your Perfect Gauffre or Crepe 

Continue satisfying your sweet tooth at your second food stop, where you will have your choice between a delicious gauffre (waffle) or crepe. Enjoy a decadent French treat with your choice of mouthwatering fillings. 

Enjoy Escargot and Wine 

Next, sit down with your group of fellow foodies for a delectable tasting of escargot. Savor the bold flavors of this classic French plate, which will be accompanied by a glass of fine French wine. If this is your first- time eating escargot, not to worry—your helpful guide will show you how to maneuver the delicious snail from its shell.  

Visit Le Moulin de la Galette 

Take a break from devouring classic French delights  as your guide continues to lead you through the winding streets of Montmartre. Soon enough you will arrive at Le Moulin de la Galette, the neighborhood’s historic windmill which was built in 1622. While Montmartre once contained 30 windmills, this is now one of only two that remain. Your guide will explain the landmark’s intricate past, along with the many prominent artists that have depicted the windmill in their work. 

See Le Passe-Muraille and Buste de Dalida 

Take out your camera and get ready to pose for the next stop! Le Passe-Muraille is a one-of-a-kind bronze sculpture, depicting a man walking through a wall. The sculpture is based on a story by French writer Marcel Aymé, and has become a classic photo-op for tourists passing by. 

Next, your expert guide will take you to a second prominent sculpture, the Buste de Dalida. In honor of the late, famed singer who called Montmartre home, a bronze bust of Dalida stands in a square of the same name. 

Sample Mousse de Canard and Baguette 

Your exploration of traditional French cuisine continues with a flavorful tasting of mousse de canard, accompanied by a fresh baguette. Enjoy the rich flavors of this classic dish as you  stroll along one of the most beautiful streets in all of Montmartre. Following your delicious meal with a view, your guide will continue to lead you to some of the area’s most historical sites. 

Try Sable, or French Cookies  

Perhaps the most photogenic restaurant in all of Montmartre, La Maison Rose, is a must-visit when in the area. Your guide will explain the intriguing history of this famous pink building, which was originally the home of Ramon Pichot after purchasing it in 1905. 

Once popular among artists in the area, today La Maison Rose is a delicious restaurant, as well as a tourist hot-spot due to its picturesque exterior. While learning about the pink building’s past, you’ll snack on deliciously made sables, or French cookies.   

Savor Macarons from a French Pastry Chef 

There’s still one more traditional French sweet to savor before the tour is over! Follow your guide to the locale of a prestigious French pastry chef, who will serve you delectable macarons. You'll get to try two different seasonal flavors that change every few months.  

Explore Place du Tertre 

As you begin to reach the summit of Montmartre’s hill, your local guide will bring you to Place du Tertre, the liveliest square in the neighborhood. Lined by restaurants and cafes brimming with patrons, the cobblestone square is filled with artists working at their easels, creating stunning portraits for tourists. Your guide will explain the square’s artistic history, before leading you to one final landmark. 

Take in the View from the Sacre Coeur 

At the summit of the hill stands Sacre Coeur, Paris’s iconic basilica. Marvel at the breathtaking church, which overlooks the entire city. After taking in the intricate details of the basilica’s exterior, turn around to find a wide staircase filled with tourists taking in jaw-dropping, panoramic views of Paris. While your guide explains the history of the famous Sacre Coeur, be sure to capture the moment with your camera. 

Indulge in a Charcuterie and Cheese Board 

After hours of walking up steep hills and steps, it’s time to sit back and relax with the last stop of the day. In classic Parisian fashion, cap off your enchanting tour with an impeccable charcuterie and cheese board. Pair your final tasting with delicious French wine, and cheers with your newfound friends to an unforgettable day in Montmartre! 

After this final stop, your tour will come to an end. You’re free to stay and relax as long as you’d like, or perhaps you’d prefer to head back to your favorite site for more exploring.

We had PJ as our tour guide. He showed us how to shop like a local as well as giving us some interesting information about the foods we were eating. We got to try several delicious cheeses and meats, taste some good wine and enjoyed several desserts! Montmartre is a great area for the tour and PJ showed us a few of the sites and had stories to go with them!

What can I say about PJ that you guys dont know he was amazing so funny he was Montmarte he even saved us from pickpockets

I would not consider this a "food tour." This was more or a food "tasting." A "tour" implies we would have walked around trying different food at different places, but that's not what this was. This was walkint around, buying food and then going back to someone's basement to sample all of the food. Very weird setup.

Our guide Clément was fantastic, his passion for fresh local produce was evident from the fist stop. He was a wealth of information, entertainment and a great host. We enjoyed every bite and would highly recommend this tour!

This tour was very casual and fun. Tour guide (can't remember her name but was a young lady) was very gracious and fun. The food (except one "mystery dish" she wanted us to try) was awesome! Really got a flavor for the food of the area and the beautiful Montmartre area, which was very charming. The only issue on the tour was when we sat down at their secret basement dining area it was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Suggest the tour company invest in some better climate control in that space. Other than that we had a wonderful time on this tour.

PJ was very informative and made us laugh the whole time. Tour ran almost 5 hours. Great food and wine provided. Best food tour ever done. Give it a go as you will not regret it.

Our guide, Daphne, was amazing. She showed us a great inside view of historic Montmartre. After taking part in some sampling and gathering our food for the tasting, we got to experience her awesome storytelling abilities while we enjoyed our French cuisine. Highly recommend this tour!

I purposely choose the six pm tour as it was dinner time. We walked around Montmartre and stopped at many food establishments, we got to taste cheese, meats,crepes , macaroons. All very good but no Secrets! Could have done this on our own and for 200 euros bought samples plus! At end of tour went into basement and was served the samplings from the places we visited. We did have wine. Felt unsafe in basement as only egress was up a spiral staircase. Not suitable if unstable on feet.

We had a full day in Paris with no plans. We found this tour and it looked like the perfect afternoon. It was exactly that...perfect!! It was the right combination of walking, tasting, and learning about the area and it’s food! Marie, our guide, was delightful!! So knowledgeable, funny, and a joy to be with. We especially loved that we went to places where the locals went - not the touristy parts of Montmartre! HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon, Marie!

We were taken to a chocolate shop, bakery for pastries and bread, a cheese store while walking through the charming neighborhood of Montmarte. Alice, our tour guide was delightful, informative and entertaining. She is a great ambassador for France! After our shared meal in the wine cellar, she gave us a list of restaurant recommendations and emailed us pics and information on all we ate!

Our tour guide was delightful. The food stops were memorable and delicious. Her explanations were thorough and interesting. We ended with a gathering with wine and samples from our walk that day. Terrific experience!

We throughly enjoyed this tour of the Montmartre area as our apartment was in the Pigalle area. Samuel, our guide, as extremely delightful, very knowledgable of the cheese, pastries, bakery, wines and meat products and did an excellent job of shepherding our group through streets of Montmartre. Our meal was enjoyable and just a perfect way to start or stay in Paris.

PJ was great and so was the food and the experience! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the region and learn about how to identify and purchase quality food at a French market, what wine, cheese and meat pairings work best and then indulging in the most delicious deserts. PJ knows his stuff and is great at including the history of the area and the food and some of the secrets as to why French food is always made with such quality and attention to detail. Go check it out! My teenage boys and I loved it!

We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide, Emma, was kind and very informative. We talked around the streets of Montmartre and learned about the food and culture of the area.The food was very tasty and definitely left us full at the end of the day!

Our tour guide Ingrid is phenomenal! She took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions. You really get a great feel for Parisian life from a local. Lots of walking, but you wont be disappointed in the experience... or the food.

PJ was great. Extremely knowledgeable. My only criticism is that the tour ran longer than scheduled and we were stuck in a small room for over two hours. It was warm and this portion of the tour should have been shorter. But if you are interested in food keep your fingers crossed that you get PJ.

Our guide Capuchine was great. Food was great all around. Had a great time. Just a great way to see this very eclectic neighborhood

Terrific tour with Christophe. Montmarte was a great place for a walking tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. The second half of the tour was sit down and included a cheese, cured meat and wine tasting, complete with crepes and éclairs. The tour/tasting lasted 4 not 3 hours which was great - but you should know that if you have other tours or dinner reservations the same day. It was so much food - we could not even think about dinner after the tour. Highly recommend - but come hungry!

So much food to taste! Amazing experience if you like to try different foods!

Eleanore was great. I would definitely do this tour!! Well worth the money.

Hugo was the absolute best guide for our Paris Montmartre food tour! He was passionate about the food, wine, and Parisian living. Hugo educated us on Parisian history and taught us what to look for in the shop windows for the best retailers. When we picked up all the ingredients for our tasting, he taught us how to break off a piece of a baguette without flattening the bread. He shared how the best pairing of wine and cheese should be from the same region. We learned so much and enjoyed his tour immensely. I look forward to another future food tour with Hugo!

We did this tour on our first night in Paris. On our walking tour our guide pointed out a lot of really good places to eat that we then went back to during our stay all the places were just as good as she promised they would be. We learned A LOT of French history and got to try many things. I would recommend this tour if you love food, especially trying different things.

We had one night in Paris on our way home from Italy. This tour was such a treat. We met a small group of people and our guide, who was so nice and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour on your first day in Paris, as the information we learned can help you when shopping for food in the city. We walked to a cheese shop, a butcher, a baker for baguette which was named best baguette in Paris in 2016, buying items at each place while we also had tastings. We also stopped in the most amazing small macaron shop, where we got to try two macarons and two pieces of chocolate - both heavenly. Once we made a few stops, when went to a little place with our items and sat around a table where we learned how to share baguette, got to know our fellow travelers and tasted our bounty. They started us off with sparkling wine, and moved on to red wine with the other items of cheese, cured meats, pates and dessert. Our guide gave us the opportunity to try some items we might not normally try - for some, its checking a box, but you wont know until you try. Aside from those items, we enjoyed great cheeses, meats, wine and bread. It was a lot of fun and became our dinner that evening. What a blast. Cannot recommend enough. We did the 6PM tour.

Review: Food Tour in Montmartre in Paris

Earlier on in the year we went on a food tour in the incredible area of Montmartre in Paris. The tour lets you discover some classic French food and some lesser known (but amazing dishes!) around Montmartre . We spent a few hours with a tour guide and a few other foodies hitting lots of ‘where locals eat’ spots! Even though I’ve been living in Paris for nearly 8 years, I discovered lots of new eating spots.

This is a un-biased review (we paid for the tour ourselves) of a food tour in Montmartre. I’ll be sharing my own personal opinion and telling you exactly what we did and ate. You can book the same tour via a link at the bottom of this article.

Montmartre Food Tour

The Montmartre food tour that we chose was organised by the No Diet Club who’ve been organising food tours in Paris since 2020. They’ve become a hugely popular foodie community in France with their instagram page racking up 140k followers. They also organise food tours in other cities in France and in other areas of Paris including Le Marais .

Our evening tour was led by Doreen, a French tour guide who originally born in Lille but has been living in the capital for over 2 years. Doreen was really friendly and spoke excellent English! Our group had a total of 8 people including the guide (and myself and my girlfriend!).

Our Experience

The meeting spot – #1.

We met up at around 6pm in a bar located at the bottom of Montmartre, right next to the famous rue des Martyrs . The meeting point was a typical French bar/café that was distinctly local and, as it turned out, didn’t have a single tourist inside! We started off with some French specialities: eggs mayo ( œuf mayo ) and escargots (snails with garlic butter). It turned out that this particular spot had actually won the prize for the best eggs mayo in 2019 and they were particularly good! The snails were awesome and were already removed from the shells which made them a lot more accessible – especially if you’ve never tried them before.

Incredible Local Pizza – #2

The next spot took us past the rue des Martyrs before we stopped off at an incredible pizza spot. You might not have suspected pizza but as it turned out, it was a gem of a spot that the majority of the group adored . It was another ‘if you know’ spot that had won the best pizza in Paris award in 2019. Our guide ordered pizzas to go and we walked to a nearby square and ate outside. They were some incredible pies including one with smoked mozzarella and the other with some super anchovies.

Trying a Dessert That You’ve Never Heard of Before – #3

After we finished the tour continued over to the Moulin Rouge . If you’ve never been to the area and are on a short visit to Paris, this part is great to see a lot of the must-see parts of Montmartre. Our next spot was to pick up some Merveilleux cakes – a dessert that I’d never tried before! We each picked our flavour and kept them as a dessert for the end of the tour.

Fusion Crêpes – #4

The tour continued by walking up to the Abbesses metro station towards one of the city’s most famous crêperies – Breizh Café . Here we got to taste two types of crêpes (and the obligatory glass of cider) which had been sliced into rolls which was perfect for tasting. These aren’t standard crêpes though, they’re Japanese-French crêpes with some amazing twists. Each plate had 2 different sauces – one with miso and one caramelised cider. They were genuinely good and these combinations were a new discovery for me.

Hidden Wine Bar – #5

Our final spot was an awesome hidden wine bar in the back of an average looking wine shop in Montmartre. It was another great discovery and somewhere that, as a tourist, you’d never discover. We were served a huge plate of French charcuterie and cheese that were sourced from a farm in the south of France. It included jambon sec , a fantastic chorizo and some incredible lomo . We also had a glass of superb Bourgone Aligoté that was beautifully round and buttery.

The final stop was at the foot of the Sacre-Cœur where we tried the famous Merveilleux cake. It was super soft with a layer of whipped cream covering meringue. A great way to finish off the tour!

Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely. Even as someone who has been living in Paris for close to 8 years with a native Parisian, we both discovered some really good eating spots that we most likely wouldn’t have discovered by ourselves.

Doreen, our guide was great and put everyone at ease creating a full fun group dynamic. As per the description, it was a relaxed tour with a focus on the food (rather than long historical explanations)!

Note: All the food is included but if you get drinks, you have to pay for them yourself.

Reviews Guide Stephane or Local Guide received outside of Cozymeal

With Hira at Food Tours, we had the best food tour ever! It was a fun way to experience a variety of foods while learning more about the neighborhood. In an old wine cellar, we finished with a tasting. Which was great because it turned out to be chilly and a little bit rainy outside. All of the cuisines was prepared for us by Hira, who was highly knowledgeable about France! She brought me a small quiche to replace the meat since I am a vegetarian, which I greatly appreciated! I highly recommend everyone to take this tour!

What a fantastic way to get a taste of Parisian culture! Yann, our tour guide, did a great job showing us around Paris's streets and introducing us to many of the neighborhood food stores. We stopped at various shops along the route to collect food, and once we were all seated, we sampled everything! During our stay in Paris, this was one of our favorite tours. Would strongly recommend it.

07 Dec 2022

My wife and I enjoyed our tour of Le Marais and learned a lot about the area's history, culture, and delectable French cuisine (including croissants, chocolate, tea, cheese, wine, and falafel). For our small party, our tour guide, Ingrid, spoke fantastic English and was incredibly informative. The ease and pleasure of our trips to all the shops were a result of Ingrid's local expertise and acquaintance with the store owners. I absolutely recommend this tour for adding information to your vacation to Paris and enhancing your appreciation of other aspects of it.

Eating! It was wonderful to stroll through the Montmarte area and stop by the many shops, and everything of the food that we were given to sample was amazing. Hira, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the food, its history in Paris, as well as interesting tidbits about the area and city. She also recommended restaurants and places to go while we were there. We had a blast and would definitely do it again.

05 Dec 2022

This was the second time we had used Food Tours to learn more about a place and its food culture. Despite the fact that we have visited Paris quite often, we frequently return to the same spots. That is what attracted us to this trip as we haven't spent much time in Montmartre. The journey began promptly with a stop for macarons and chocolate. I had never understood the buzz surrounding macarons before this stop, but it made me a convert. Agatha slipped inside a cheese shop, a bakery, and a butcher shop. She put together a feast of baguettes, cheeses, charcuterie, and wines along the road, which we enjoyed at a table in a hotel along the way. All 12 participants had plenty to eat and drink before leaving. We ended with a stop for dessert crepes that, despite us being more than full, we managed to complete. Agatha did an excellent job of talking about the delicacies, describing their origins, and suggesting which wines would emphasize the tastes.

What a wonderful way to wrap up our mother-daughter trip to Paris! A food and wine tour seemed like a nice bonus since we were ready to explore Montmartre, but it far exceeded our expectations. The meal we had was some of the best Paris had to offer, according to Agatha, who was beautiful and a pleasure to talk to. The secret location at the end of the tour was ideal for having fun as a group. She made our tour of the city one that would attract us to want to see and do more. I would encourage EVERYONE to consider this experience highly recommended! ??

Our tour guide was Leo, and he was SPECTACULAR!!! Leo made our trip even more special because we were there for my friend's bachelor party. He was really interesting, knowledgable, and courteous. His suggestions were all spot on. Because they were so wonderful, we even returned to the locations after the tour was complete and bought a ton more delicious items. I would absolutely do it again and would highly suggest this tour, especially with Leo.

Aicha was our favorite component for this tour! Such a sweet, modest young woman. She has a servant's heart at her core. Aicha was particularly considerate of the old woman, who was walking with a cane, making sure she had a seat and wasn't left too far behind the others. The tour's culinary items were all fantastic, and the vendors were all incredibly friendly and gracious. My clients who were with me as travel advisors were completely amazed! Bravo, Secrets!

02 Dec 2022

Theo, our tour guide, offered us a taste of the history and cuisine of Paris' Marais neighborhood. On this particularly hot afternoon, he was very knowledgeable, considerate of our needs, and entertaining. It made for a fantastic day of meeting new people, touring this stunning city, and stuffing oneself with delectable food! By the time this trip is up, you will be stuffed!

...a pleasure to work with. Following a prompt payment confirmation email, they send us a thorough email outlining the meeting location for our tour tickets. We arrived at the meeting location a few minutes early and ran across Louis (with his orange umbrella). He added that since no one else had signed up, this would be a private tour—bonus!—after the introductions. Louie was a pleasant guy who was very knowledgeable about the background and surroundings of Montmartre. On the tour, he gave us a lot of background information on the places we were passing by or seeing. He would explain the wines, desserts, cheeses, and meats that were being sampled. He called our attention to details or hidden treasures that we would have likely passed by if we had been exploring on our own. We made a total of five breaks, two of which were brief while the other three required us to sit down. The time we spent with Louie was wonderful and relaxed. We took a snapshot at the end of the evening, which he emailed to us with information about the sites, wines, and meals we had during the tour. I would advise everyone visiting Paris to do this tour. The event was definitely worth the cost.
