Montmartre Food Tour: Taste Classic French Cuisine in Paris' Hilltop Village

Spend a morning exploring Montmartre through its food.

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, freshly baked bread, and a chou pastry.

Next, you’ll head to a Montmartre institution: a 1921-era bistro beloved by generations of artists and locals alike. There’s no better place to taste an award-winning take on oeuf mayonnaise (that’s eggs and mayo—done the French way) served with a chilled glass of white wine. In French bistros, this dish is a must-try, and with perfectly cooked eggs and fresh, homemade mayo, it’s unforgettable.

Take in the main sites and hidden gems on a walking tour with your local guide.

After that, you'll take to the leafy streets and steps of Montmartre on a 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.

Try classic French cuisine that have stood the test of time at local eateries.

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 dig into snails (escargot) and sausage with aligot—a cheesy, garlicky potato purée that’s pure comfort. A glass of robust red wine completes the experience.

End your tour at a charming bistro for escargot and aligot (creamy mashed potatoes with cheese and garlic), paired with red wine. These are classic French dishes that have stood the test of time for a reason.

Your sweet finale features macarons at a local chocolatier and a view of the iconic Sacré-Cœur, one of the most famous landmarks in Montmartre.
