Stories behind the food

Passionate English-speaking foodie guide

Small group size for a personalized experience

Welcome to Montmartre!

Bonjour, foodies! Your culinary adventure begins at 10:30 am in Montmartre, where you’ll meet your knowledgeable guide and fellow group members. This vibrant neighborhood is known for its cobblestone streets, sweeping vistas, and impressive art scene, and has long been a haven for artists and foodies alike. Throughout the tour today, you’ll be introduced to some of its finest bakeries and eateries, and with a local guide leading the way, you’ll also happen upon hidden wine bars and artistic clues about its storied past.

Wake up your tastebuds

First things first—a baguette. Not just any baguette, though, an award-winning baguette! While made of only four ingredients (flour, water, yeast, and salt), the Parisians have mastered this simple recipe to create a perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside masterpiece. While you enjoy, learn how the baguette has long been a staple of Parisian culture and how France even has a law that specifies the ingredients and methods that can be used to make "traditional French bread".

Next, it’s time to shift your attention to the sweeter things in life during a visit to the “Picasso of Pastry.” Named after Pierre Hermé, a visionary in the world of patisserie, you’ll soon be biting into an absolutely divine macaron. What sets these apart, beyond their incredible mix of crisp, fluffy, and creamy textures, is the exotic flavors on offer.

Explore Montmartre

Between stops for bites, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to explore the hidden nooks and highlights of Montmartre alongside your expert guide. Delight in witty stories and fascinating fun facts as you stroll along charming streets, but don't forget to have your camera at the ready. From the iconic Moulin Rouge to the famous "I Love You" wall, there's no shortage of photo-worthy stops and unforgettable moments to capture. Montmartre is a neighborhood that has managed to retain its soul amidst the bustling city of Paris, and you’ll undoubtedly feel that with every step.

Cheese and Wine

No French culinary tour would be complete without cheese and wine, and soon, you’ll find yourself in one of Montmartre’s modern wine bars. As you sip local varietals and taste your way through a charcuterie, your guide will provide insights into how these trendy spots are redefining the Parisian wine scene with their focus on organic and biodynamic selections.

After three hours of exploring, dining, and sipping, it’s time to bid farewell to your guide and fellow foodies. With a happy stomach and a deeper appreciation for the art of French cuisine, you’ll be perfectly poised to continue your Parisian adventure independently. Thanks for joining!

We had PJ as our tour guide. He showed us how to shop like a local as well as giving us some interesting information about the foods we were eating. We got to try several delicious cheeses and meats, taste some good wine and enjoyed several desserts! Montmartre is a great area for the tour and PJ showed us a few of the sites and had stories to go with them!

What can I say about PJ that you guys dont know he was amazing so funny he was Montmarte he even saved us from pickpockets

I would not consider this a "food tour." This was more or a food "tasting." A "tour" implies we would have walked around trying different food at different places, but that's not what this was. This was walkint around, buying food and then going back to someone's basement to sample all of the food. Very weird setup.

Our guide Clément was fantastic, his passion for fresh local produce was evident from the fist stop. He was a wealth of information, entertainment and a great host. We enjoyed every bite and would highly recommend this tour!

This tour was very casual and fun. Tour guide (can't remember her name but was a young lady) was very gracious and fun. The food (except one "mystery dish" she wanted us to try) was awesome! Really got a flavor for the food of the area and the beautiful Montmartre area, which was very charming. The only issue on the tour was when we sat down at their secret basement dining area it was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Suggest the tour company invest in some better climate control in that space. Other than that we had a wonderful time on this tour.

PJ was very informative and made us laugh the whole time. Tour ran almost 5 hours. Great food and wine provided. Best food tour ever done. Give it a go as you will not regret it.

Our guide, Daphne, was amazing. She showed us a great inside view of historic Montmartre. After taking part in some sampling and gathering our food for the tasting, we got to experience her awesome storytelling abilities while we enjoyed our French cuisine. Highly recommend this tour!

I purposely choose the six pm tour as it was dinner time. We walked around Montmartre and stopped at many food establishments, we got to taste cheese, meats,crepes , macaroons. All very good but no Secrets! Could have done this on our own and for 200 euros bought samples plus! At end of tour went into basement and was served the samplings from the places we visited. We did have wine. Felt unsafe in basement as only egress was up a spiral staircase. Not suitable if unstable on feet.

We had a full day in Paris with no plans. We found this tour and it looked like the perfect afternoon. It was exactly that...perfect!! It was the right combination of walking, tasting, and learning about the area and it’s food! Marie, our guide, was delightful!! So knowledgeable, funny, and a joy to be with. We especially loved that we went to places where the locals went - not the touristy parts of Montmartre! HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon, Marie!

We were taken to a chocolate shop, bakery for pastries and bread, a cheese store while walking through the charming neighborhood of Montmarte. Alice, our tour guide was delightful, informative and entertaining. She is a great ambassador for France! After our shared meal in the wine cellar, she gave us a list of restaurant recommendations and emailed us pics and information on all we ate!

Our tour guide was delightful. The food stops were memorable and delicious. Her explanations were thorough and interesting. We ended with a gathering with wine and samples from our walk that day. Terrific experience!

We throughly enjoyed this tour of the Montmartre area as our apartment was in the Pigalle area. Samuel, our guide, as extremely delightful, very knowledgable of the cheese, pastries, bakery, wines and meat products and did an excellent job of shepherding our group through streets of Montmartre. Our meal was enjoyable and just a perfect way to start or stay in Paris.

PJ was great and so was the food and the experience! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the region and learn about how to identify and purchase quality food at a French market, what wine, cheese and meat pairings work best and then indulging in the most delicious deserts. PJ knows his stuff and is great at including the history of the area and the food and some of the secrets as to why French food is always made with such quality and attention to detail. Go check it out! My teenage boys and I loved it!

We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide, Emma, was kind and very informative. We talked around the streets of Montmartre and learned about the food and culture of the area.The food was very tasty and definitely left us full at the end of the day!

Our tour guide Ingrid is phenomenal! She took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions. You really get a great feel for Parisian life from a local. Lots of walking, but you wont be disappointed in the experience... or the food.

PJ was great. Extremely knowledgeable. My only criticism is that the tour ran longer than scheduled and we were stuck in a small room for over two hours. It was warm and this portion of the tour should have been shorter. But if you are interested in food keep your fingers crossed that you get PJ.

Our guide Capuchine was great. Food was great all around. Had a great time. Just a great way to see this very eclectic neighborhood

Terrific tour with Christophe. Montmarte was a great place for a walking tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. The second half of the tour was sit down and included a cheese, cured meat and wine tasting, complete with crepes and éclairs. The tour/tasting lasted 4 not 3 hours which was great - but you should know that if you have other tours or dinner reservations the same day. It was so much food - we could not even think about dinner after the tour. Highly recommend - but come hungry!

So much food to taste! Amazing experience if you like to try different foods!

Eleanore was great. I would definitely do this tour!! Well worth the money.

Hugo was the absolute best guide for our Paris Montmartre food tour! He was passionate about the food, wine, and Parisian living. Hugo educated us on Parisian history and taught us what to look for in the shop windows for the best retailers. When we picked up all the ingredients for our tasting, he taught us how to break off a piece of a baguette without flattening the bread. He shared how the best pairing of wine and cheese should be from the same region. We learned so much and enjoyed his tour immensely. I look forward to another future food tour with Hugo!

We did this tour on our first night in Paris. On our walking tour our guide pointed out a lot of really good places to eat that we then went back to during our stay all the places were just as good as she promised they would be. We learned A LOT of French history and got to try many things. I would recommend this tour if you love food, especially trying different things.

We had one night in Paris on our way home from Italy. This tour was such a treat. We met a small group of people and our guide, who was so nice and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour on your first day in Paris, as the information we learned can help you when shopping for food in the city. We walked to a cheese shop, a butcher, a baker for baguette which was named best baguette in Paris in 2016, buying items at each place while we also had tastings. We also stopped in the most amazing small macaron shop, where we got to try two macarons and two pieces of chocolate - both heavenly. Once we made a few stops, when went to a little place with our items and sat around a table where we learned how to share baguette, got to know our fellow travelers and tasted our bounty. They started us off with sparkling wine, and moved on to red wine with the other items of cheese, cured meats, pates and dessert. Our guide gave us the opportunity to try some items we might not normally try - for some, its checking a box, but you wont know until you try. Aside from those items, we enjoyed great cheeses, meats, wine and bread. It was a lot of fun and became our dinner that evening. What a blast. Cannot recommend enough. We did the 6PM tour.

Review: Food Tour in Montmartre in Paris

Earlier on in the year we went on a food tour in the incredible area of Montmartre in Paris. The tour lets you discover some classic French food and some lesser known (but amazing dishes!) around Montmartre . We spent a few hours with a tour guide and a few other foodies hitting lots of ‘where locals eat’ spots! Even though I’ve been living in Paris for nearly 8 years, I discovered lots of new eating spots.

This is a un-biased review (we paid for the tour ourselves) of a food tour in Montmartre. I’ll be sharing my own personal opinion and telling you exactly what we did and ate. You can book the same tour via a link at the bottom of this article.

Montmartre Food Tour

The Montmartre food tour that we chose was organised by the No Diet Club who’ve been organising food tours in Paris since 2020. They’ve become a hugely popular foodie community in France with their instagram page racking up 140k followers. They also organise food tours in other cities in France and in other areas of Paris including Le Marais .

Our evening tour was led by Doreen, a French tour guide who originally born in Lille but has been living in the capital for over 2 years. Doreen was really friendly and spoke excellent English! Our group had a total of 8 people including the guide (and myself and my girlfriend!).

Our Experience

The meeting spot – #1.

We met up at around 6pm in a bar located at the bottom of Montmartre, right next to the famous rue des Martyrs . The meeting point was a typical French bar/café that was distinctly local and, as it turned out, didn’t have a single tourist inside! We started off with some French specialities: eggs mayo ( œuf mayo ) and escargots (snails with garlic butter). It turned out that this particular spot had actually won the prize for the best eggs mayo in 2019 and they were particularly good! The snails were awesome and were already removed from the shells which made them a lot more accessible – especially if you’ve never tried them before.

Incredible Local Pizza – #2

The next spot took us past the rue des Martyrs before we stopped off at an incredible pizza spot. You might not have suspected pizza but as it turned out, it was a gem of a spot that the majority of the group adored . It was another ‘if you know’ spot that had won the best pizza in Paris award in 2019. Our guide ordered pizzas to go and we walked to a nearby square and ate outside. They were some incredible pies including one with smoked mozzarella and the other with some super anchovies.

Trying a Dessert That You’ve Never Heard of Before – #3

After we finished the tour continued over to the Moulin Rouge . If you’ve never been to the area and are on a short visit to Paris, this part is great to see a lot of the must-see parts of Montmartre. Our next spot was to pick up some Merveilleux cakes – a dessert that I’d never tried before! We each picked our flavour and kept them as a dessert for the end of the tour.

Fusion Crêpes – #4

The tour continued by walking up to the Abbesses metro station towards one of the city’s most famous crêperies – Breizh Café . Here we got to taste two types of crêpes (and the obligatory glass of cider) which had been sliced into rolls which was perfect for tasting. These aren’t standard crêpes though, they’re Japanese-French crêpes with some amazing twists. Each plate had 2 different sauces – one with miso and one caramelised cider. They were genuinely good and these combinations were a new discovery for me.

Hidden Wine Bar – #5

Our final spot was an awesome hidden wine bar in the back of an average looking wine shop in Montmartre. It was another great discovery and somewhere that, as a tourist, you’d never discover. We were served a huge plate of French charcuterie and cheese that were sourced from a farm in the south of France. It included jambon sec , a fantastic chorizo and some incredible lomo . We also had a glass of superb Bourgone Aligoté that was beautifully round and buttery.

The final stop was at the foot of the Sacre-Cœur where we tried the famous Merveilleux cake. It was super soft with a layer of whipped cream covering meringue. A great way to finish off the tour!

Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely. Even as someone who has been living in Paris for close to 8 years with a native Parisian, we both discovered some really good eating spots that we most likely wouldn’t have discovered by ourselves.

Doreen, our guide was great and put everyone at ease creating a full fun group dynamic. As per the description, it was a relaxed tour with a focus on the food (rather than long historical explanations)!

Note: All the food is included but if you get drinks, you have to pay for them yourself.

Secret Food Tours – Paris Montmartre

Sharing is caring!

I can’t tell you how excited I was to finally be able to take another food tour, and in Paris no less. Now I thought I’d be trying the weirdest foods, and the term “weird” is super relative. But the way my palette is set up, the foods I eat and actually enjoy are minimal. One thing I did think I’d be testing out and didn’t was escargot. But I promise I’ll go out of my way to try it next time. This particular tour was run by Secret Food Tours Paris Montmartre. It was perfect for me because I was staying in Montmartre and was able to walk to the meeting point, albeit I went the entirely wrong direction the first time.

First let me say that I will not be sharing the locations of any of the eating places. If you want the best foods in the Montmartre (and possibly Paris) area, you should definitely sign up for one of their tours here . Also keep in mind that I first took one of their food tours in Madrid and it was amazing as well.

Why I Opted for a Food Tour

Food tours are a great way to not only eat like the locals, but you get to find out WHERE the locals eat. I mean, why go all the way to Paris and not have cuisine that’s deemed Parisian? I live for a good food tour because it becomes a walking and history tour all in one. You find out about certain landmarks and history while chowing down on some good eats. You basically pig out and walk it all off. Goodbye food-baby!

I also love them because it’s a great way to not only find out where you should eat, but you get better and better at choosing good restaurants. PRO TIP: If they have an english menu, keep walking. Now I’m not saying everyone with a menu in another language is horrid, but it tends to be a sign that they may not be as authentic as you believe. On this tour, Claire, our guide, also taught us the signage to look out for when it comes to shops and why the local, small establishment will always be the best.

What Went Down

I hopped out of bed and ran to meet Claire and the rest of the group to begin our food tour. I repeat, I hopped out of bed. So I was surprised to find out that we’d start with sweets. First a chocolate shop and then macarons. Spoiler alert: IT’S NOT LADURÉE. I don’t know that any chocolate on earth can quite compare to Swiss chocolate, but it was hands down some of the best I’ve ever had in life. TIP: if you’re unsure about a chocolate shop, go in and test their base chocolates (white, milk, dark). If it’s delicious, then you’re probably safe to go back in and go wild on the candy.

I’m pretty simple when it comes to my sweets so I opted for the milk and dark chocolate bases. They were heavenly. When it came to the macarons, I can honestly say they were the best I’ve had, but I still am not a macaron fan. Claire recommended we try the outlandish flavors because really, how often would we have hand crafted macarons on the house, but I opted for one of my pair to be a simple lemon flavor.

Now moving on to the why I was here: bread, cheese, charcuterie. Could a girl really ask for more?

We started out grabbing more than a few fresh baguettes. I mean, just made and still piping hot where you could see the steam, baguettes. We broke bread, literally, and then continued on to a cheese shop. There I stood on a tiny sidewalk in Montmartre, probably in someones way, and had the absolute best cheese of my life. No exaggeration. And our last stop was to pick up a variety of pâtés and sausages, but not before trying out a yummy garlic sausage first.

Now that we were done grocery shopping, we headed to a location to sample everything. It truly seemed like the baguettes, meats and cheeses were on an endless conveyor belt. And how could I forget the wine? Funnily enough, Claire doesn’t care for Bordeaux wines but when I say I had the most DELICIOUS Bordeaux red, EVER… I’m actually sitting in an airport lounge right this minute, sipping a bordeaux because I’m cool, and fancy, and Bordeaux my new thing.

Should you take this tour?

I highly recommend this tour and recommend you seeking out Secret Food Tours  in a city near you. The guides are always knowledgeable about the area and cuisine, and are the best resources when it comes to food! I always get great restaurant recommendations, find out if the places I’m going to/have been are worth it, and to be honest, I’m genuinely interested in why regions eat what they do. I mean, the story about the Portuguese and cod fish just may be the most random you’ll ever hear.

You should definitely take a food tour by your second day in a new location. This guarantees the yummiest of meals throughout your journey. Bon appétit!

Review | A Secret Food Tour of Montmartre, Paris

The food looks amazing. Im feeling all hungry now

Well this is definitely my kind of tour! That macaron mountain looks SO good! I want all of them haha. x Laura // Middle of Adventure

Wow those Macarons!! Amazing! I'd love to do something like this, it sounds like a great tour.

This sounds like such a fun experience and a great alternative to the usual sightseeing tours.

I love the sound of Chocolat Illèné it sounds so unique with the fusion combination. The whole tour sounds so different and must have been a great new way to explore Paris.

Wow, what an amazing tour. I love Paris and Montmartre in particular and would love to do this.

Paris is also famous for their food, I just love these food and some of these which I ate but It is totally different to get from there. You can visit on gold crest to book your holidays package to celebrate disneyland paris new years eve .

With Hira at Food Tours, we had the best food tour ever! It was a fun way to experience a variety of foods while learning more about the neighborhood. In an old wine cellar, we finished with a tasting. Which was great because it turned out to be chilly and a little bit rainy outside. All of the cuisines was prepared for us by Hira, who was highly knowledgeable about France! She brought me a small quiche to replace the meat since I am a vegetarian, which I greatly appreciated! I highly recommend everyone to take this tour!

What a fantastic way to get a taste of Parisian culture! Yann, our tour guide, did a great job showing us around Paris's streets and introducing us to many of the neighborhood food stores. We stopped at various shops along the route to collect food, and once we were all seated, we sampled everything! During our stay in Paris, this was one of our favorite tours. Would strongly recommend it.

07 Dec 2022

My wife and I enjoyed our tour of Le Marais and learned a lot about the area's history, culture, and delectable French cuisine (including croissants, chocolate, tea, cheese, wine, and falafel). For our small party, our tour guide, Ingrid, spoke fantastic English and was incredibly informative. The ease and pleasure of our trips to all the shops were a result of Ingrid's local expertise and acquaintance with the store owners. I absolutely recommend this tour for adding information to your vacation to Paris and enhancing your appreciation of other aspects of it.

Eating! It was wonderful to stroll through the Montmarte area and stop by the many shops, and everything of the food that we were given to sample was amazing. Hira, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the food, its history in Paris, as well as interesting tidbits about the area and city. She also recommended restaurants and places to go while we were there. We had a blast and would definitely do it again.

This was the second time we had used Food Tours to learn more about a place and its food culture. Despite the fact that we have visited Paris quite often, we frequently return to the same spots. That is what attracted us to this trip as we haven't spent much time in Montmartre. The journey began promptly with a stop for macarons and chocolate. I had never understood the buzz surrounding macarons before this stop, but it made me a convert. Agatha slipped inside a cheese shop, a bakery, and a butcher shop. She put together a feast of baguettes, cheeses, charcuterie, and wines along the road, which we enjoyed at a table in a hotel along the way. All 12 participants had plenty to eat and drink before leaving. We ended with a stop for dessert crepes that, despite us being more than full, we managed to complete. Agatha did an excellent job of talking about the delicacies, describing their origins, and suggesting which wines would emphasize the tastes.

What a wonderful way to wrap up our mother-daughter trip to Paris! A food and wine tour seemed like a nice bonus since we were ready to explore Montmartre, but it far exceeded our expectations. The meal we had was some of the best Paris had to offer, according to Agatha, who was beautiful and a pleasure to talk to. The secret location at the end of the tour was ideal for having fun as a group. She made our tour of the city one that would attract us to want to see and do more. I would encourage EVERYONE to consider this experience highly recommended! ??

Our tour guide was Leo, and he was SPECTACULAR!!! Leo made our trip even more special because we were there for my friend's bachelor party. He was really interesting, knowledgable, and courteous. His suggestions were all spot on. Because they were so wonderful, we even returned to the locations after the tour was complete and bought a ton more delicious items. I would absolutely do it again and would highly suggest this tour, especially with Leo.

Aicha was our favorite component for this tour! Such a sweet, modest young woman. She has a servant's heart at her core. Aicha was particularly considerate of the old woman, who was walking with a cane, making sure she had a seat and wasn't left too far behind the others. The tour's culinary items were all fantastic, and the vendors were all incredibly friendly and gracious. My clients who were with me as travel advisors were completely amazed! Bravo, Secrets!

Theo, our tour guide, offered us a taste of the history and cuisine of Paris' Marais neighborhood. On this particularly hot afternoon, he was very knowledgeable, considerate of our needs, and entertaining. It made for a fantastic day of meeting new people, touring this stunning city, and stuffing oneself with delectable food! By the time this trip is up, you will be stuffed!

...a pleasure to work with. Following a prompt payment confirmation email, they send us a thorough email outlining the meeting location for our tour tickets. We arrived at the meeting location a few minutes early and ran across Louis (with his orange umbrella). He added that since no one else had signed up, this would be a private tour—bonus!—after the introductions. Louie was a pleasant guy who was very knowledgeable about the background and surroundings of Montmartre. On the tour, he gave us a lot of background information on the places we were passing by or seeing. He would explain the wines, desserts, cheeses, and meats that were being sampled. He called our attention to details or hidden treasures that we would have likely passed by if we had been exploring on our own. We made a total of five breaks, two of which were brief while the other three required us to sit down. The time we spent with Louie was wonderful and relaxed. We took a snapshot at the end of the evening, which he emailed to us with information about the sites, wines, and meals we had during the tour. I would advise everyone visiting Paris to do this tour. The event was definitely worth the cost.

Secret Food Tours Paris: Montmartre

• October 25, 2016

I’ve shared my secret (not-so-secret now) life goal of adopting 3 European cities . It felt silly at first, but once I wrote it all down, it felt so true. And Paris, of course, is on that list! To really dive into the city and the culture, I just knew I had to take a food tour in Paris. 

Big thanks to Secret Food Tours Paris for hosting me with this complimentary tour! All views and opinions are my own.

I don’t just want to adopt the city. I want to walk, talk, eat, and shop like a Parisian . Totally wish I had the fashion sense that would make me fit right in too. Who wouldn’t?!

To start the adoption process, I reached out to Secret Food Tours Paris and scheduled a tour in the Montmartre neighborhood–the area right by Sacre Coeur. The best thing about food tours is that you never know exactly what you’ll get. But what I did know I was going to get a lesson in how to be Parisian!

Visitor Tip: Ideally, you should take a food tour when you arrive to a new city.

A Different Kind of Food Tour

This Montmartre food tour from Secret Food Tours was much different than the tours I’ve taken in Berlin , Barcelona , and London . They were all different companies, but that’s not what I mean. Typically, I’ve been taken to various restaurants to have a bite and learn a little bit about the restaurant and the area, then you walk a few minutes until you get to the next one.

I like this “normal” way. The food is well spaced out and we get time to chat amongst ourselves which is always fun since we’re all travelers!

On this Paris food tour, it was more about how to shop for yourself when you venture out on your own. While I was first quite confused as to what was going on, it soon became obvious…

Our guide, P.J., was really showing us how to shop like a Parisian!

One of the last things we did was to sit in a cafe to relax and inspect all the delicious bites (and drinks) we collected along the way. And then devour them.

Learning to Shop

On the tour itself, we visited a popular cheese shop so P.J. could explain how you can pick out a great cheese for yourself and why the French can’t get enough of certain kinds of cheese. Learning about cheese in this way was really helpful! Our guide made it feel like a class (in the best kind of way) because he gave information that would actually help you. All while we’re drooling over the different varieties and smells. Ohhhh the cheese smells! My stomach started growling at this stop.

The history was fascinating, too! Did you know that the metro lines 2 & 6 lie directly behind where the old city wall was for Paris? Or that Paris all started on the island that Notre Dame sits on? Yeah…neither did I! These random facts are so interesting and the perfect tidbits to show off with at parties 😉

We hit up a Boulangerie (bakery) for some beautiful and fragrant baguettes. The French take baking bread so seriously that if you call yourself a Boulangerie and you don’t bake the bread on site, you can lose your business! We confirmed it was the real deal when we saw the many ovens churning out various types of bread. There’s really nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread…one of life’s great pleasures. Am I right?!

Would it be a food tour in France if we did not go to a wine shop? Nah, not to me at least! Wine is really a funny thing. Regions matter, and specific farms and terra matters. That’s why some wines are so expensive. We were given a lot of great information on how to choose a good wine, but I’m probably going to still ask the people that run the wine shops because I didn’t get THAT good.

Going to a butcher isn’t for everyone, I realize that. But fresh meat is amazing in my world. P.J. picked us up lots of things to try…and some weren’t my cup of tea. But I tried them because I’m trying to push my comfort zone a bit. I’m getting so much better with trying foods since I moved to Europe. Maybe already being outside of my comfort zone helps. I don’t know. But I encourage you to try everything too! If I can do, you can too.

*pats self on back* I even tried a grasshopper once!  Here’s the video …and yes, I am proud of it.

The Group Comes Together for the Tasting

Just around the time we were all enjoying the tour but tired of the teasing of all the good food we’ve seen, we hopped into a cafe with a bunch of seats waiting for us with wine glasses at the ready. P.J. wasted no time in supplying us with bread and wine while he, um, cut sliced the cheese up for us.

Every time I thought the tasting was over, there was more coming! We tasted so many kinds of cheeses. I was shocked he grabbed so much from the cheese shop. It really felt like we were getting a tasting platter of France. Amazing!

The meats went from mild (as in, you may have had it before and nothing “weird”) to me staring at it trying to figure out if I’m actually going to take a bite. That scary piece of meat was head cheese . Click the link to look it up. It’s not something I would normally eat, much less consider trying.

But here’s the evidence that I tried it:

I tried something I have never tried before on a @secretfoodtours in #Paris ! Have you eaten this before and do you like it? #foodtour pic.twitter.com/2NLczJ33sI — Jessica | A Wanderlust For Life (@AWlustForLife) October 26, 2016

I didn’t eat all of it and I still wouldn’t order it for myself, but I’m glad I tried it! I even convinced the woman next to me to try it. She immediately said “no!” when she heard what it was. I’m such a good food influence now apparently 😛 Would you try it?

Once all the bites from the shops had been eaten, there was still MORE! We were given crêpes before we left our seats and then went to a chocolate and macaron shop. But I was so stuffed that I kept those little treats for the train ride back to Amsterdam.

Final Thoughts

The tour seems to have a different agenda than most I take. It teaches you to shop in the small locally owned shops rather than taste food at various restaurants. Which is pretty awesome if you’ll spend time in France where you can use the knowledge. Maybe you can even impress a certain someone? 😉

The food was great, the wine was excellent and the tour guide was super informative. My main critique is that it would have been nice to have more socializing time with the group itself. It was almost so full of information that it was overwhelming! I would often get sucked into what he was saying and not take notes. But I also really love getting to know the others in the group, and there wasn’t too much time for that. It was a PACKED and delicious few hours.

What do you think of this format? Have 4-5 stops before you get to taste anything…but then you get to chow down for an hour or so? There are pros and cons to everything, for sure!
