Paris Food Tours

Ratings and review counts as shown on GetYourGuide in October 2026. Check the listing for live prices and availability.
Pick by neighbourhood: Le Marais for the classic mix of cheese, charcuterie, falafel and pastry; Montmartre for cheese, wine and pastry with the views; Saint-Germain and Rue Mouffetard for the Left Bank markets; the 11th for natural wine and modern bistros.
What you will taste: a baguette tradition and a croissant, three or four raw-milk cheeses, charcuterie from a proper charcutier, a macaron or an éclair, chocolate, and two glasses of wine. Most tours replace lunch.
Price and time: roughly 90 to 140 dollars for three hours; morning tours catch the markets, afternoon tours the wine bars.
The neighbourhoods, honestly
Le Marais. The most-booked area and the right first choice: Rue des Rosiers for falafel and Jewish bakeries, and a density of fromageries and pâtisseries that makes ten tastings in three hours easy. Tours here run with ten or more tastings and two wines.
Montmartre. Quieter streets behind the Sacré-Cœur, a cheese and wine and pastry format that suits the village feel, and the highest-rated single tour in the city. Expect more walking and hills, and a finish with a view.
Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter. Rue Mouffetard and the Rue de Buci market streets, chocolate shops and the old cafés. Good for a morning market tour that ends with oysters and a glass of white.
The 11th and the east. Where Paris eats today: natural wine bars, small-plate bistros, the Marché d’Aligre. Fewer tours run here and they skew towards evening and wine.
What a good tour includes
Bread and pastry from a bakery that bakes on site, three or four cheeses explained by age and milk, charcuterie, something sweet from a pâtisserie, chocolate, and wine at two stops. Groups of eight to twelve. Look for tours that name their shops in the reviews; the best ones have long relationships with the owners and you can tell.
Timing
Morning tours catch markets and bakeries at their best; the Aligre market is closed on Mondays. Afternoon tours end in wine bars. Sunday mornings are busy but lively; August thins the shops. Book a week ahead in spring and autumn.

FAQ about Paris Food Tours
Frequently asked questions
How much food is on a Paris food tour?
Enough to replace lunch. Ten tastings with bread, cheese, charcuterie and pastry is a meal; do not eat before.
Are there vegetarian Paris food tours?
Most tours substitute for vegetarians with notice; cheese, bread, pastry and chocolate are the majority of the stops anyway. Vegan options are rarer; ask before booking.
Is a food tour better than a cooking class in Paris?
For a first visit, a food tour: it covers more ground and teaches you where to shop for the rest of your stay. Add a class if you have a second day.
