Overview
Spend a morning exploring Montmartre—a charming, vibrant neighborhood offering incredible views of Paris—through its food. As you venture through the hills of the 18th arrondissement, you'll discover the delicious secrets that few other visitors are privy to as you learn about the delicate art of patisserie, try delicious cheeseboard offerings, and sip on uniquely French wines from small producers—all at the authentic local spots you’d never find otherwise.
You’ll begin your Montmartre food tour with a visit to a veritable French institution: the boulangerie! This one has been serving the locals of the area for generations. As you take in the smell of freshly baked goods, you’ll hear about the classic—modest yet delicious—French breakfast and try their delectable croissants and freshly baked bread.
A brief stroll through Montmartre's picturesque streets takes you a famous family-run pastry shop beloved by Parisians and visitors alike. With roots in Montmartre, it's become one of the most decorated patisseries in Paris. Here you'll try a selection of their signature chocolates and a pastry.
From there, it’s on to a charming bistro inspired by the typical taverns commonly found in historic Montmartre. You'll try a classic savory pancake from the Aveyron region of France, the home of this establishment's three passionate owners.
After that, you'll take to the leafy streets and steps of Montmartre on a 45-minute historical walk, where your guide will point out some of the most important aspects of the neighborhood, giving you a true sense of its history and significance to the French capital.
Your next stop is an introduction to an absolute staple of French cuisine: cheese. You'll sample a cheeseboard with a variety of seasonal cheeses and the favorites of this specialty shop. You'll pair it with two glasses of natural wine served at a local wine cellar close by.
We hope you’ve saved room for the main course! Step inside a timeless French bistro and tuck in to a hearty lunch of savory, warm quiche—a perfect end to a day of discovery.
