Your Montmartre food tour begins at a historic bakery in the heart of this bohemian hilltop village, where you'll sample either freshly baked croissants and crusty bread or indulge in a chou pastry, a classic of modern French patisserie.
Next, step into a legendary Montmartre bistro that's been a gathering spot for artists and locals since 1921. There, you'll sip chilled white wine and enjoy oeuf mayonnaise, a simple and flavorful dish that reflects the neighborhood's rich culinary tradition and its artistic roots. As you wander through Montmartre's picturesque backstreets, your guide will reveal the stories behind its transformation into the creative hub it is today. Along the way, they'll point out the neighborhood's most important sites, like the Montmartre vineyard and oldest cabaret, and their significance to the French capital. Then, you'll visit a local fromagerie to sample seasonal French cheeses, learning about the art of French cheese shopping with a focus on seasonality and small producers.
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 from a local chocolatier and a view of the iconic Sacré-Cœur, one of the most famous landmarks in Montmartre.
