Montmartre Full Meal Walk

Paris Montmartre Guided Food Tour: A Full Meal by Do Eat Better runs through Do Eat Better Experience. Rated 4.9 across 1,713 reviews. Runs 3 hours 30 minutes. From $102.

Overview

The walk starts outside the Moulin Rouge on Boulevard de Clichy, at number 82, and finishes at the foot of Sacre Coeur, working up through Montmartre over three hours and 30 minutes. It is run by Do Eat Better Experience as an itinerant full meal: instead of one long sit-down lunch, the group eats across at least four stops, so by the end you have covered the equivalent of a complete meal. At least one glass of wine is poured for guests over 18, with non alcoholic options available, and water is provided along the way.

The route strings together Rue Lepic, the Mur des Je t'aime, Place du Tertre, Rue Gabrielle and the Sacre Coeur basilica, with an English speaking local guide explaining the food and the neighbourhood as you go. The exact dishes vary, but reviewers describe a generous spread that has included beef bourguignon, cheese and bread, pastries and filled crepes, with wine alongside. One reviewer counted two glasses of wine on their tour, and another warned there was too much food, so portions are not shy.

Groups run to a maximum of 12 travellers. The tour suits people with moderate fitness who are happy on a hill, and it works well for visitors who want a meal, a history walk and a view over Paris combined into one outing. Vegetarian options exist, and the operator asks anyone with food restrictions to get in touch before booking.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical things shape the day on this tour, from the hill itself to the amount of food served.

Come hungry. This is a full meal spread over at least four stops, not a tasting sampler. One reviewer said there was too much food, so arrive with an appetite rather than a full stomach.
The hill is real. Montmartre sits on a hill and the listing warns to expect ups and downs throughout. Decent shoes matter more than anything else you pack.
Small group size. The cap is 12 travellers. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness, though the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
Language mix. The guide may speak both English and French during the tour, according to the listing. Reviewers found the English commentary rich in history and local detail regardless.
Book ahead with restrictions. Vegetarian options are available, but anyone with a food restriction should contact the operator before booking. Guests with severe or life threatening food allergies cannot take part.
Bring extras yourself. Water is included, but any additional food or drink beyond the set stops is not. Gratuities are optional and not included if you feel the guide earned one.

Common issues. The main physical constraint is the hill: the listing flags constant ups and downs and asks for moderate fitness, and the tour is not wheelchair accessible. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers to run, and if that minimum is not met you are offered a different date, a different experience or a full refund. Poor weather can also cancel it, with the same remedy. Cancellations on your side must be made at least 24 hours before start time for a refund.

Before You Book A Tour

How much food is included?

The tour is built as an itinerant full meal across at least four stops, so the total equals a complete meal rather than small tastes. Water is included, and at least one glass of wine is served to guests over 18, with non alcoholic options for others. Any extra food or drink you order yourself is not included.

Is hotel pickup included?

No, hotel pickup is not included. The meeting point is in front of the Moulin Rouge ticket office at 82 Boulevard de Clichy, 75018 Paris, and the tour ends in front of Sacre Coeur.

How long is the tour?

The experience lasts 3 hours and 30 minutes. Expect a mix of eating and neighbourhood sightseeing across the whole duration.

Is it suitable for people with limited mobility?

The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are fine and the hill means constant ups and downs. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness. Anyone with concerns should weigh the terrain carefully before booking.

Can children join?

Pushchairs are accommodated and infant seats are available, so families can join. The minimum drinking age for the included wine is 18, and non alcoholic options exist for younger guests.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, using the local time of the experience as the cut-off. Inside that window there is no refund and changes are not accepted. If the operator cancels for poor weather or because the minimum traveller count is not met, you get a different date or experience, or a full refund.
