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!

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.

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.

Born in Paris but a citizen of the world, having lived in the US and traveling on a cruise line as the chef for many years
Favorite dish is whatever I am eating at the moment. France is a banquet of incredible food. I know where to find this, and will show you on the tour
Time off is spent with Laurence, my beautiful wife who you see in the photograph with me

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 was born & raised in Paris. Like Julia Child, I’ve lived 6 years in Shanghai, China and when I came back to Paris I decided to go to cooking school. To continue following her footsteps I will probably move to Marseille one day.
My favorite meal would be a perfectly cooked roasted Chicken and potatoes with green beans but I also have a real passion for Indian food.
I can talk about anything food & beverage related for hours!

Born in London. I first lived in Paris at 18 to apprentice as a chef and moved back in 2018 to be with my wife for the birth of our daughter.
My favourite meal is something Julia Child would have served her guests; a simple green salad, a large selection of french cheeses, red wine and of course a proper Baguette.
My down time is spent cooking; either simple fresh food for our little family or epic meals to entertain friends.
