Secret Food Tours

PJ Thank you!!! I was on tour 6÷17÷2016 Friday with PJ at 11AM. We had a great group of fun people and I’m so thankful that I partook in this tour with my wife.
The tour was an eye, mind, and palate-​opening experience. We had a delightful time learning about the masters of their food and our tour guide was so knowledgeable about Paris. This was one of our highlights of the trip, and we’ve been in Paris an entire week!
⁵⁄₅ stars easily.

When visiting new places I find taking a food tour is a great way to learn about the area while eating delicious food. This tour provided that and then some. As other reviews have stated this tour is ~3 hours around one of the most beautiful areas in Paris. My girlfriend and I had Stephan as a guide and he was fantastic — provided a ton of information on the history of the Montmartre neighborhood as well as how to identify the best food shops. We had great food, wine, and company; couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend taking this tour and requesting Stephan!

Absolutely loved it! The best thing we did in Paris! The tour made you feel like a local– very authentic, educational and of course, delicious! The food we tried from all the little Montmarte shops was amazing! Fresh, great quality and true representation of French cuisine. And you won’t go hungry! You eat (and drink!) A LOT on this tour. Our guide, PJ, was fantastic! Really funny and knowledgable about French food and history. You won’t be disappointed taking this food tour!

We just got back from our food tour with PJ and couldn’t be happier with our experience. I would definitely recommend PJ and the Secret Food Tour to friends and family.

Bravo PJ
We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable guide with the credentials to back it up. PJ is a true foodie. The other reviews are spot on. The places you visit are first rate with plenty of local flavor and hospitality. Our tour was much more than a food tour, it was a food education, especially for Americans.
We would recommend this for anyone’s first trip to Paris and early in your stay. It will help you in how to select restaurants, other than Unilocal and trip advisor! The groups are small which gives you the personal touch and good value. The amount of food and wine was ample, we needed no other meal for the day!
We will look to secret food tours again in other cities. Hopefully PJ will continue his excellent lectures and tours for many years to come.

Was beautifully surprised by how good this was.
PJ took us around the streets of Montmarte and showed us a bunch of awesome, local-​made fooderies… We tried plenty of cheeses, meats and oh so many treats, (even including a few wines!!).
I don’t wanna give away too much but I am absolutely glad I partook in this with m’lady today. Got a new perspective on shopping for the daily goods here in Paris!

Spending a Tuesday morning with PJ for the secret food tour was one of the highlights of my recent trip to Paris! Even though this was not my first trip to Paris, I was so glad that I decided to book this tour.
We met at the Anvers metro stop. PJ gave us a Paris history lesson, mostly focused on food through the ages. From there, we headed through the streets of Montmartre, making several culinary stops along the way. I won’t go into great detail because I don’t want to give it all away. This was truly a magnificent morning in Paris.
PJ is a fantastic character and a knowledgable guide. He taught us the marks of quality for various food shops — these are things you will take with you and use throughout your trip. You will now be able to distinguish a high quality chocolate shop from the mediocre. And be able to tell the «fake French» places from the traditionally trained and handcrafted stores.
You will learn stuff. You will eat well. You will fall in love with Paris even more.

Perfect day out in Paris. Amazing food and fantastic guides. PJ (our guide) was so funny, knowledgable and made everyone feel welcome. And the food was delicious I particularly liked the picnic at the end. Well worth it! Merci :)

Completed this tour today and LOVED IT. PJ is an awesome tour guide and is very knowledgable. Montmartre is a beautiful section of the city. I highly recommend this tour if you find yourself in Paris and want an authentic experience, don’t hesitate to book it! The food is delicious!

My husband and I are foodies and love taking food tours and were really glad to have had the chance to go on the Secret Food Paris Tour. We enjoyed the guides and learned a lot in our 3+ hour tour. Montmarte is also a lively and fun neighborhood it was nice to visit it and learn about all their great foods. This tour was one of the many highlights in Paris and is a must do. You get to try chocolates, bread, cheese, meats and the list goes on and on. The end of the tour is perfect you get to sit and enjoy all the foods and ask questions which the guides are more than happy to answer as they are very passionate about their french culture and food. This was also our guides first tour and she did a wonderful job, we even commemorated the day by leaving a dollar on the wall on the the last stop with her signature. I hope she’ll always remember it and now we have somewhere to go back when we visit Paris again. :)

The Secret Food Tour is an absolute gem and a great way to learn about Paris. We visited and learned about choosing chocolate, cheese, breads, wine, meats, and macarons. All the while, we learned about the history of paris. We learned the difference between the tourist traps and true french cuisine. Thank you Nicholas

Our tour with Marion was amazing, she told us a lot the history of Paris and was a foodie, so she baked treats for us while we walked through the Montmartre area.
We went to a chocolate shop, then a macaroon shop and gave recommendations on how to avoid Tourist restaurant traps. She collected cheeses, bread, meat and wine from various shops and brought them back for a picnic, after that we headed for crepes before the end of the tour.
This was a great way to explore Paris that isn’t the typical museum.
Marion gave us restaurant, cheese, and wine recommendations to explore. Would do this again in another city.

I was really excited for this tour and it didn’t let me down! Our guide was fantastic, she knew Paris, had a great (dry) sense of humor and was really knowledgeable about food. She took us through the Montmartre area and really taught us a lot of history, and then of course about the food!
We went to a chocolate shop, then a macaroon shop and ate our goodies there on the spot. From there we collected cheese, bread, meat and wine from various shops and brought them back for a picnic, after that we headed for crepes before the end of the tour. It was really great and a lot of fun. I loved seeing the more local side of Montmartre and learning more about the culture. The food was delicious too! Some of it was more of an acquired taste but hey, now I know what I like!
Overall this was a really fantastic and unique way to «see» and «taste» Paris. Highly recommended and would even consider doing this tour again next time I visit!

Today we did walking tour with Didier. He was excellent. He was fun, kept all members of the group entertained but was very knowledgable regarding the food, wine, and sights. We went to various stops to excellent farmhouse to table cheeses, meats, bread, wine, crepes, macaroons, and finally chocolate. We tasted the first four items at a park complete with a table, silverware if you wanted and he educated us about all including wine. It was excellent and milling!!!

I seriously cannot express how AMAZING this tour was! I was really looking forward to it but I got a lot more than I expected.
Our tour guide, PJ, was so knowledgeable and funny. He really took the time to talk to us about every single food item and stop that we made. Everything we had was delicious and we learned so much.
We started out at a chocolate factory so we definitely got off on the right foot! Then on to macarons, bread, meat, cheese, and finally, the best of the best — the wine shop!
We actually had our food in a back room located inside the wine shop. We thought it would be a picnic at first but this was even better. It was cozy and intimate and just perfect! We had 4 bottles of wine and they were all spectacular. So much so we purchased a bottle and had it later that evening.
Just when I thought we were done, PJ took us next door for crepes and espresso. We were stuffed beyond belief and had a whole new appreciation for french cheeses, wines, breads, desserts, you name it!
We had a little stop at the Wall of Love where the words ‘I Love You” are written in every single language imaginable, including Braille. Pj took the time to take pictures of all of us. He was really spectacular!
We decided after this tour that we will never visit a city without first checking out if they have a Secret Food Tour and then booking it IMMEDIATELY! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Everyone does the usual Paris attractions, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Palace of Versailles, but you must include the Secret Food Tours on your list. Not only do you get a tour of the Montmartre section of Paris as seen by a local Parisian, but you also get to eat as a local. Our guide, PJ, was the best and he took us to some of the best food shops in Paris. From a chocolate shop, so good we had to go back after the tour to buy gifts to take home, to other shops for macaroons, for meats, cheeses and wines. PJ talked culture, locations, varieties, ingredients, and how it’s made, during our walk. Our party of 7 stopped at a little café, where we sat and drank our gathered bounty. We met some nice people in our group. A splendid time. We did a food tour in Rome and this one was much better.

Tour with PJ was a highlight of my trip! Knowledgeable, fun, delicious! I highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous tour! Our guide was amazing and the food was delish. Highly recommended!

Fabulous start to our adventures in Paris! PJ was our guide who was passionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He really knew his stuff and gave us a great taste of Paris. We would highly recommend you do this tour at the beginning of your stay in Paris as will highlight things to avoid and go to in France!

This was hands down one of the favorite things we did in Paris! PJ was our guide and he was fantastic – personable, clearly passionate about food. Enjoyed each of our stops at chocolate shop, macaron shop, boulangerie, charcuterie, cheese shop, wine shop, and creperie– bonuses were the «I love you wall» and eating our finds in a pretty garden. One of our tour-​mates likened JP’s bag to that of Mary Poppins– in it he had a fold up table, table cloth, wine glasses, and all of our food… very pleasant experience. Would recommend to everyone. Was a little nervous because he met us at the meeting point EXACTLY on time and I was anxious that maybe we weren’t in the right spot.
