Why You Should Book a Food Tour in Paris (And Not Just Wander Into Any Bakery)

Nadine Braehmer • June 25, 2025

Looking for the best things to do in Paris? Eiffel Tower ✅, Louvre ✅, Croissant… ❌ from the wrong place?

When it comes to food in Paris, not everything is as authentic as it seems. That’s why more and more travelers are booking local-led food tours—and here’s why you should, too.


Short on time? Book your spot on our top-rated Paris Food Tour here.

1. Not All Paris Food Is Created Equal

You might think it’s impossible to have a bad meal in Paris—but it happens. Many places near touristy areas serve frozen or overpriced versions of classic French dishes.


On our Paris food tour, we take you straight to the spots locals love:
✔️ Family-owned bistros
✔️ Award-winning cheese shops
✔️ Artisan bakeries
✔️ Hidden wine bars


We do the vetting, so you eat the best, not the most convenient.



2. You’ll Learn the Stories Behind the Flavors

French food is full of tradition—but most menus don’t come with an explanation. On our tour, your local guide shares:

  • What makes a baguette truly French
  • Why Parisians argue about cheese
  • How to pair wine like a local

You’ll leave not just full—but smarter.



3. It's the Best Way to Explore Paris Off the Beaten Path

Our walking route takes you through charming, lesser-known corners of the city—places most tourists never find. You'll get a taste of real Parisian life in neighborhoods like Le Marais.



4. It Helps You Avoid Tourist Traps the Rest of Your Trip

You’ll learn:

  • How to read a French menu
  • When to order what
  • What locals actually eat vs. what’s just for tourists

This saves you time, money, and disappointment for the rest of your stay.



5. It’s an Unforgettable Experience (and Great Value)

Travelers say again and again:
🗨️ “This was the highlight of our trip to Paris!”

It’s not just a tour. It’s an experience filled with flavor, laughter, and connections you wouldn’t get on your own.
