The crème de la crème of French cuisine, without having to practice your French.
Highlights
Wander Montmartre — Paris’s most bohemian quarter, once home to Picasso, Van Gogh, and Matisse — exclusively with your group and a private guide.
Taste a baguette from a bakery that’s won awards for the best in the city, and viennoiseries from Paris’s most innovative pastry chefs.
Sit down for sausage and aligot — gooey, stretchy mashed potatoes mixed with fresh cheese — at a brasserie headed up by a former French Top Chef contestant.
Sample French PDO cheeses, decorated charcuterie, and citrus jam from artisan shops that have served Parisians since the 1800s.
Sip French wine paired with fine seafood at a family-owned neighbourhood institution.
Finish with macarons from one of Paris’s most famous pastry shops — the so-called “Picasso of Pastry.”
Soak in the views: the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Montmartre’s Belvedere, and one of the city’s best Eiffel Tower vantage points.
Built for families, couples and celebrations, corporate teams, and groups of friends — it’s just your group, your guide, and Paris from the hilltop.
Tour Description
Looking for a private Montmartre food tour that captures Paris at its most artistic? Our Private Montmartre Food & Wine Tour walks your group through the iconic 18th arrondissement — past the Sacré-Cœur, through cobbled streets that once inspired the city’s greatest painters — across 8 stops of award-winning bread, fine French cheese, charcuterie, seafood, and macarons, designed exclusively for your group.
Climb to one of Paris’s most beautiful viewpoints for breathtaking views (including the Eiffel Tower!). Along the way, savour the crème de la crème of French cuisine: charcuteries from decorated butchers, world-famous PDO cheeses, pastries from award-winning bakers, and enough wine to make you say ooh la la. Your private guide weaves in stories of Picasso’s Montmartre, the bohemian art scene, and how 1800s institutions still define how Parisians eat today.

What Makes Montmartre Special
Perched on a hilltop in the 18th arrondissement, Montmartre has long been one of Paris’s most culturally rich neighborhoods. Once the stomping ground of Picasso, Van Gogh, and Matisse, its winding cobblestone streets still carry a bohemian energy that sets it apart from the rest of the city. With the Sacré-Cœur Basilica crowning the hill and sweeping views of Paris below, Montmartre is as beautiful as it is historically significant.
Food here reflects the neighborhood’s artistic and village-like character. Award-winning boulangeries turn out some of the city’s best bread and pastries, traditional boucheries offer charcuterie perfected over generations, and cozy bistros serve hearty, homestyle French dishes alongside carefully selected wines. Whether you’re savoring macarons from a world-renowned pâtisserie or sitting down for a crêpe at a tucked-away café, Montmartre offers an intimate, distinctly Parisian culinary experience.

Meet Your Local Paris Tour Guides
Our Paris food tours are led by people who live for the daily rituals of this city — the morning baguette, the afternoon café crème, the cheese course that's never skipped. Fromagers, pâtissiers, wine lovers, and neighborhood regulars, they take you off the grand boulevards and into the bakeries, markets, and bistros where Parisians actually eat. Because the real Paris isn't found in a landmark — it's found in the food someone chose with care and shared with pleasure.
