A charming afternoon of brunch foods and hillside views…

Once home to the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh and Matisse, the dreamy, hilltop neighbourhood of Montmartre has earned its reputation as one of the most inspirational areas in Paris. Today it’s a popular tourist haunt and the most visited Parisian neighbourhood, but if you explore beyond the big landmarks and movie locations, you’ll find the original eateries and local hangouts that most tourists miss.

Our 3-hour Montmartre food tour starts early in the morning so you can experience this beautiful area before the big tour buses arrive.  We pick up a buttery pastry before taking the cable car up to the top of Montmartre hill to enjoy the breathtaking view. You’ll pass the Sacré Coeur and other highlights before we whisk you off to the backstreets behind Montmartre, where you’ll meet the real artisans that live and work in the area.

Enjoy an exclusive kitchen tour at a local bakery and meet the makers behind the bread. You’ll never look at baked goods the same again! Later, we sit down for a private meal at a humble neighbourhood bistro, popular for its simple and hearty homemade dishes.  Share a moment with your new friends and enjoy food and wine selected by the Montmartre-born owner himself.  Of course no Paris food tour is complete without crêpes! But have you ever tried a savoury crêpe? We take you for some of the best in town on our way back.

Join us as we walk beyond the typical hotspots and explore the food, stories and real people behind this historical neighbourhood.

Note: this tour requires walking up steep inclines. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

Valetina was a great guide! Kind and helpful, she did a great job educating us! It was great to see how close she was with all the stops we had. Would recommend to others!

We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour for that day so we got a one on one, informative, first-hand tour of some of the best brunch spots in Montmartre. The participating restaurants were kind and gracious, not to mention delicious! Each spot was better than the next and Leo’s enthusiasm for the history of the region and food made us excited too!

- ErinMarie (TripAdvisor Review)

Our brunch tour with Leo was fantastic! It included the right amount of food tasting and a great mixture of insight into the adorable neighbourhood of Montmartre.

- Eebalv (TripAdvisor Review)

This was our favorite tour of our trip! My husband and daughter are Gluten-free due to allergy and our guide went above and beyond getting them options and making them feel included.

I was born & raised in Paris but spent a lot of time abroad, including 6 years in Shanghai, China
I’m obsessed with everything food & beverage related and have a great love for hospitality and bonding with people from all over the world. My fav french food is a very simple, yet delicious tarragon roasted chicken with some roasted potatoes and green beans.
My fav thing to do in Paris would be walking around my neighborhood, le Marais, and discover newly opened restaurants

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I moved to Paris in 2018 to pursue a Master's Degree in International Relations. Giving food tours combines my lifelong love of cooking & eating with my training in cultural diplomacy.
My favorite French food is foie gras...controversial but so delicious!
My favorite thing to do in Paris is "flâner," to walk without a purpose and enjoy what one encounters, usually ending with a glass of wine on a terrasse.

My name is Camila and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been living in Paris since 2018. Spending these years as a local, studying, tasting, absorbing and exploring the city, allow me now to share my knowledge and love for Paris to others. I’m also an actress and a filmmaker.
My favorite French food? All the pastries this country has to offer.
The thing I enjoy the most in Paris is going to a good local restaurant and walking around everywhere, discovering hidden streets, gardens and passages.

I'm a French Kiwi, (we're known as Friwis!) and grew up in New Zealand. I've been constantly exploring Paris for 27 years. I'm a proud Parisienne and passionate about my city, forever in awe of its beauty and quirks and transformation, and I love sharing that passion with visitors.
My favourite French food has got to be a good magret de canard but I love all good food!
What I love most about Paris is that you never know what is around a corner -who or what you'll run into and what will happen. And you may think you know an area well but have you seen the magic that's behind that closed door when it opens, or the wonder of the street behind that one you always take?

was raised between cannolis and arancine in Sicily but moved to Paris 10 years ago to reconnect with my french, ahem, breton, roots. I love history, especially the history of food and to demolish some well established myths : did you know that the French absolutely loathed potatoes at first? Not a great start for French fries!
My favourite French food has to be crêpes, they bring back childhood memories to me just as madeleines did with Proust.
And my favourite thing to do in Paris is obviously to eat it all!!

My story begins in San Francisco, California, where I was born and raised. I moved to Paris over ten years ago on a whim and it’s been true love ever since.
My favorite French food is Escargot! And my favorite French dessert is the dessert of all desserts, the Profiterol, which consists of choux pastry filled with fresh cream, covered in whipped cream and coated in hot chocolate sauce, heaven on a plate!
y favorite activity to do in Paris is to take a trip on the Bateaux Mouches, the open air excursion boats that go down the Seine river. I always make sure to go at dusk to get a beautiful sunset behind the Eiffel tower.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Something simple like a crêpe oeuf fromage, a croissant aux amandes or just any kind of cheese
My favourite spot is by the river, anywhere between Pont d'Alexandre and the Ile Saint Louis. Have an picnic and a glass of wine

I came from India and arrived in Paris in February 2023 to study pastry at Ferrandi Paris. I believe that the best way to explore a place is through food, and that is exactly how I have been exploring the city since I got here.
My go-to french meal is steak frites, and a rich mousse au chocolat.
My favourite thing to do in Paris is to choose a new restaurant to try, then walk around to explore the neighbourhood, finding more food to come back to, before sitting around in a garden on a sunny day.

My name is Sam and I'm from the United States originally (born in Kansas City, Missouri).
I came into the food world as a part-time cook and pastry chef while attending film school in Paris. I was drawn to the sense of community I found in the city's kitchens and spent all my free time researching anything and everything related to the culinary arts.
My favorite part of Paris outside the culinary scene is definitely the dance scene. When I'm not checking out markets or researching new restaurants, I spend my free time training with an array of talented dancers from around the world and going to see pieces in the many beautiful theaters and performance spaces the city has to offer.

grew up in rural England on a small farm in Cornwall, and after studying Classics and literature in London I moved to Paris to study wine management at Le Cordon Bleu. Seven years later I am still living the Parisian life working as a sommelier.
My favourite french food is perhaps very unoriginal, but it has to be cheese, maybe a chèvre, or a bleu d’auvergne, or comté
If the weather is good there is nothing I love more than having a picnic with friends eating and drinking a myriad of different things!
