French Oysters and Champagne in Paris

The tour begins in the best way we could possibly think - with champagne! Enjoy a crisp glass accompanied by oysters giving you a real taste of France. Your guide will be sure to tell you all there is to know about this famous dish before you head off to the next stop!

Cheese and Wine Tasting

No French food tour would be complete without some fromage! Your guide will tell the story about its connection to the country’s cuisine and culture at the second stop on the tour - a wine and cheese bar where you’ll be able to sample some incredible cheeses paired with local wines.

Famous Falafel

Although it doesn’t sound as French as escargots or cheese, falafel is a well-loved dish in Paris. Lines wrap outside the various falafel restaurants in the city during lunch and dinner time - the Parisians can’t get enough of the mouth watering this fried chickpea dish!

The Art of Parisian Crêpes

The third stop is another famous French favorite: crêpes! Locals eat crêpes in a variety of ways - sweet, salty, for dinner, for lunch, or whenever they sound good. You’ll get to enjoy some savory crêpes paired with another local speciality, hard cider.

Hot and Savory Boeuf Bourguignon

Next, the tour will head to a local brasserie. There, you’ll be able to experience another French delicacy, boeuf bourguignon, alongside a delicious glass of red wine (included with the meal) and tasty mashed potatoes! Boeuf bourguignon is cooked slowly and simmered with a mixture of vegetables. Sit back, relax, and let your taste buds do the work.

Sweet Crème Brûlée

Finish the fabulous evening off with this amazing, local dessert! Crème Brûlée is a sweet, vanilla cream served with a layer of crunchy, caramelized sugar. The combination of flavors and textures will have you falling head over heels for this French speciality. Before you say your farewells to the guide, be sure to pick his/her brain about recommendations they have for your time in Paris - who better to ask than a local?

A: Please contact us in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your needs.

Q: Can I bring my kids and do I have to pay for them?

A: We're parents just like you and understand that young kids might not be into oysters like mom or dad just yet. You do not have to pay for your children under six years old if they are not eating with the group. Feel free to grab something to bring with you on the tour for your small child to eat or prepare your own food for them ahead of time as many other parents do. If your child is an adventurous eater, choose the 'Child' option when checking out.

Q: Do the tasting stops on this tour ever change?

A: Stops and tastings on this tour are subject to change due to seasonal/holiday venue closures. As the places we frequent on this Paris Food Tour are local institutions and family-run businesses, they can close at any time with very little to no notice. In this situation, your guide will take you to another nearby eatery.
