The experience

You meet your guide in front of Moulin Rouge and climb into Montmartre from there. The neighborhood sits on a hill, so the route has real ups and downs, but the walking is broken into segments between tastings. You're not hiking, you're moving between restaurants. The guide explains what you're about to eat and the stories behind each dish as you walk, so the neighborhood itself becomes part of the meal.

The sequence moves from sweet to savory to cheese to sweet again. You start with a classic Parisian pastry to warm up, then head to Place des Abbesses for the main course: boeuf Bourguignon, the tender beef slowly cooked in red wine that defines French comfort food. Near that stop is the Mur des Je T'aime, where "I Love you" appears in 250 languages on a wall. Your guide will point it out. After the main, you move to a bistrot near Place du Tertre (the artists' square) for a cheese tasting: Comté, Camembert and others, chosen to show the range of French cheese-making. The final stop brings you to Sacré-Cœur, where you eat sweet crepes (plain, chocolate-filled or jam-filled), while looking out at the basilica and the city below.

Wine is included with the meal for adults. Non-drinkers get non-alcoholic options. Water comes with the tour. If you have food restrictions or allergies, contact the operator before booking. They work with vegetarian needs and can discuss other requirements, though severe or life-threatening allergies make the experience unsafe. The guide may switch between English and French during the tour, so you'll hear both languages.

What’s included

• English-speaking local guide who also speaks French.
• water throughout the tour.
• at least one glass of wine for guests 18 and over (non-alcoholic options available).
• a complete meal across four stops: pastry, main dish, cheese course, and dessert.

How much walking is involved on this Montmartre food tour?

Montmartre sits on a hill, so the itinerary has ups and downs throughout. The walking is broken into segments between the four restaurant stops, so you're not doing a continuous climb. You eat, then walk to the next place. Expect moderate physical fitness to be comfortable with the terrain.

What exactly do I eat on this tour?

You eat the equivalent of a full meal across four stops: a Parisian pastry first, then boeuf Bourguignon as the main course in a restaurant near Place des Abbesses, a selection of French cheeses (like Comté and Camembert) in a bistrot near Place du Tertre, and sweet crepes for dessert at Sacré-Cœur. The guide explains how each dish is prepared and its history.

Is alcohol included, and what if I don't drink?

At least one glass of wine is included for guests 18 and over. Non-alcoholic options are available throughout the tour, and water is provided. If you're under 18, you'll receive non-alcoholic alternatives at each stop.

How many people are on this tour?

Groups are kept to 12 travelers maximum, plus your English-speaking guide. This keeps the experience more personal than larger group tours.

What if I'm vegetarian or have food restrictions?

Vegetarian options are available on the tour. If you have other dietary needs or restrictions, contact the operator before booking so they can arrange alternatives. Guests with severe or life-threatening food allergies cannot safely participate.

Where does the tour start and end?

The tour starts in front of Moulin Rouge and moves through Montmartre, ending at Sacré-Cœur. The total time is 3.5 hours. Public transportation is available nearby if you need to get to the starting point.
