Paris Food Tour with Secret Food Tours: Cheese, Wine and a Secret Dish
Hours, prices and access verified by the Paris Food Tours team — last checked 2026-09-13
Ten or more tastings across three hours, in the quarter you choose at booking: Montmartre and the Wall of Love, or the islands and the Latin Quarter. Cheese, bread, a Brittany galette, macarons and a secret dish, with red and white wine poured as you walk.
MeetsAnvers or Abbesses metro for Montmartre, Pont Marie for Notre-Dame
FareFrom $80 per person
CancellationFree up to 24 hours ahead
Step-freeNot wheelchair accessible
This is the most-reviewed food walk on either platform for Paris, and the only
one that lets you choose your quarter when you book. That choice is the whole
decision: Montmartre is a hill with a view at the top, and the Notre-Dame route
is flat, riverside and finishes in the Latin Quarter.
Either way the shape is the same. Ten or more tastings across three hours,
red and white wine poured as you go, and a dish the operator will not name in
advance. A shorter two-hour express version runs near the Louvre instead.
Six things it puts in front of you
Artisanal French cheeses
A board rather than a list, chosen by the
fromagerie that morning.
Freshly baked breads and viennoiserie
The thing every Paris walk opens
on, and the reason to come hungry.
A Brittany crêpe or galette
Buckwheat, savoury, and not what most
visitors expect from a crêpe.
Authentic macarons
Judged on the ruffled foot at the base of each
shell, which your guide will point out.
A savoury tart or fine cured meats
The middle of the walk, and where
it stops being a snack.
The secret dish
Unnamed until you are handed it. It changes, which is
the point of it.
How the three hours run
Meet at the metro. Anvers, Abbesses or Pont Marie, ten
minutes early, orange umbrella.
The first bakery. Bread and viennoiserie, and the
introduction to the quarter.
The cheese stop. A board and the first glass.
The savoury middle. Crêpe or galette, tart or charcuterie.
The sweet end.Macarons, chocolate, and the secret dish.
What the fare covers
In the fare
On the three-hour walk: artisanal French cheeses and fresh breads
A Brittany crepe or galette, macarons and a seasonal pastry
A savoury tart or fine cured meats
Fine red and white wines
On the two-hour express walk: praline brioche and aged Comte
Hotel pickup is not part of it and neither are gratuities, which is standard
across every walk in the city.
Who this suits, and who should book something else
Book this if
It is your first food tour in Paris and you want the most-tested route.
You want to choose between a hill and a riverside walk.
You are watching the fare — this is the joint-cheapest walk here.
Book something else if
You are vegan, coeliac or dairy-intolerant. The operator cannot take you.
You need a step-free route: the
Le Marais food tours include three that
their operators call wheelchair accessible.
You would rather sit down for two hours than walk for three.
Know before you go
The meeting point changes with the day. Anvers on weekdays
until half past five, Abbesses at weekends and for the evening departure. Check
your confirmation rather than your memory.
The itinerary and the menu can change. That is stated up
front, and it is a function of what the shops have that day.
The group caps at twelve. Not a private walk, but not a coach
party either.
Infants sit on laps. Children and youths have their own
fares; the walk itself is not adapted for a pushchair.
Wine is poured throughout. Non-alcoholic options are
available if you ask when you book.
Not wheelchair accessible. Stated outright, and Montmartre
in particular is a hill.
An immersive afternoon with Zara, who made it a delight. My family tried food they would not have ordered and came away with some appreciation for the craft behind it. Allow more time than you think — the length varies.

We walked beautiful Montmartre streets and stopped at places we would never have found, for bread, macarons, pastry and cheese. The second half was a French meal with wine in a private dining room with the group, which was the part we remember.

Matt knew the French food and the French history in equal measure. There were six other people with us and it never felt crowded. A good afternoon.
The one you pick at booking. The three-hour walk climbs Montmartre past the Wall of Love and the Moulin Rouge; the alternative crosses the Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis into the Latin Quarter. Both finish on the operator's secret dish.
Where exactly do I meet the guide?
Anvers metro on line 2 between 10:30 and 17:30 Monday to Friday, or Abbesses on line 12 at weekends and for the six o'clock departure. The Notre-Dame version meets at Pont Marie on line 7. Your guide carries an orange umbrella.
Is the two-hour express version the same walk?
No. It runs near the Louvre around the Rue Montorgueil and swaps the menu for praline brioche, aged Comté and a truffled croque-monsieur with a glass of wine. It is the right choice if you have a spare morning rather than a spare afternoon.
Can I do this if I do not eat gluten or dairy?
No, and it is stated outright: vegan diets and allergies to gluten, dairy and cheese cannot be accommodated. Vegetarians are welcome. If dairy is the issue, the seated wine room in the 15th is the wrong answer too — it is six cheeses. If gluten is the problem rather than dairy, the Champagne day trip pours rather than bakes.
How full will I be?
Full. This is ten or more tastings across three hours, and the review pool is consistent about arriving hungry. Plan on not needing dinner rather than on a light bite before it.
What if I want something quieter than a group of twelve?
Book the private Marais walk instead: your party alone, four seated stops and three glasses of wine, at your own pace. If you want the middle ground, the Devour walk caps at twelve and names its eight shops in advance.
