Montmartre Food Tour
Montmartre is the Paris of the postcards — the hilltop village of Sacré-Cœur, artists’ squares and steep cobbled lanes — and its market streets hide some of the city’s best bakeries, fromageries, chocolatiers and wine shops. A food tour is the tastiest way to climb the butte. This is our Montmartre food hub. Compare the top-rated tours below and read our notes.

Eating up the butte
Above the city on its butte, Montmartre keeps a village feel that the tourist crowds around Sacré-Cœur don’t quite dispel — and its food shops are excellent. A food tour threads the market street of the Rue des Abbesses and the lanes below the basilica, stopping at an award-winning boulangerie for baguette and croissant, a fromagerie for a cheese flight, a charcuterie, a chocolatier and a cave à vin for a glass. Along the way you get the history of the artists’ quarter — Picasso, Van Gogh, the Moulin Rouge.
Why do it here
Montmartre packs classic Paris food shopping into a walkable, scenic hill, so a tour is both a tasting and a sightseeing walk. Go in the morning for the bakeries at their freshest. Pair it with a central Paris food tour or a Le Marais tour on another day, and see what to eat in Paris.
