Our Approach
Our philosophy? A rising soufflé lifts all dishes. Whether we’re foraging for the freshest ingredients or crafting the menu for your next Parisian adventure, our partnerships are based on mutual respect, sustainability, and a shared commitment to excellence. We don’t just collaborate; we celebrate each other’s strengths, seasoning our tours with a mix of expertise that enriches every taste and tale.
Our Partners
Culinary Experts: These maestros of the kitchen are the ones who transform simple ingredients into memories. Their knives carve the stories of Paris into every plate.
Cultural and Historical Guides: These are our storytellers, weaving tales that transport you from the cobblestones of Montmartre to the banks of the Seine, all while you savour a bite of history.
Local Businesses: The backbone of our culinary crusades, these cafes, and boutiques are where tradition meets the taste buds, offering a slice of Parisian life.

The Symphony of a Sublime Dining Experience
At the heart of every memorable meal is a symphony of unsung heroes, each playing a vital role in orchestrating the perfect dining experience. At Eat Like, we’re not just curating meals; we’re weaving a tapestry of collaboration that spans from the sun-kissed fields to the gleaming countertops of Paris’s finest eateries. From the diligent farmer who nurtures the crops to the steadfast drivers weaving through Parisian streets, from the unsung plonge ensuring every plate shines to the maitre d’ who masterfully conducts the ensemble of waitstaff — each contributes a crucial note to the harmonious melody of dining.
We believe in the power of unity among independent businesses, a community where support and cooperation are the bedrock of success. It’s a place where the butcher knows your name, the baker shares your dreams, and the candlestick maker lights up your vision. Together, we create more than just meals; we create moments, memories, and a mosaic of human connections that enrich every bite with meaning and warmth.
In this spirit, Eat Like extends an invitation to all — from those who till the earth to those who garnish the plates — to join us in a partnership that celebrates the diversity, creativity, and passion that fuel the culinary world. Let’s champion a model of cooperation that not only elevates our offerings but also honors the collective effort it takes to turn a meal into a masterpiece.
Because when we sit down to dine, we’re not merely partaking in food; we’re embracing a legacy, a culture, and a community that thrives on mutual support and shared success. Here’s to creating the perfect dining experience, one where every contributor is recognized, celebrated, and integral to the feast we share with the world.
Join Us in a Culinary Alliance: Elevating Paris Together
Dear Culinary Visionaries,
In the heart of Paris, amidst its bustling streets and hidden alleys, lies a story of gastronomy waiting to be shared. This story though is often mis-represented, mis-communicated and mis-understood. As custodians of this city’s rich culinary heritage, we find ourselves at a crossroads. The path we choose can redefine the future of food tourism in Paris, steering it away from the impersonal clutches of commercialisation and back into the warm embrace of authenticity and passion.
At Eat Like the French, we’re not just about crafting unforgettable food tours; we’re about weaving a tapestry of culinary tales that celebrate the heart and soul of Paris. We believe that the key to great food and even greater guest experiences lies in the strength of our partnerships. It’s about coming together as independent guides, visionary chefs, vibrant restaurants, and passionate producers to share a unified vision.
Why Partner with Us? Because together, we are the embodiment of Parisian gastronomy. Our commitment to showcasing the very best of local, sustainable, and authentic produce, people, and businesses is unwavering. But more than that, we believe in an open kitchen philosophy – no gatekeeping, just sharing, learning, and elevating everyone involved.
We’re reaching out to you – the innovators, the tradition-bearers, the heart and soul of Parisian food culture – to join us. Whether you’re a chef with secret recipes passed down through generations, a guide with stories that breathe life into the cobbled streets, a restaurant that serves love on a plate, or a producer whose craft is the foundation of our culinary adventures, there’s a place for you in this alliance.
Our Collaboration Will:
- Showcase your expertise and passion to a wider audience eager for genuine experiences.
- Create synergies that elevate all involved, forging a community bound by the love of good food and authentic encounters.
- Challenge the status quo, presenting an alternative to the one-size-fits-all tours that fail to capture the true essence of Paris.
This is more than an invitation; it’s a call to arms. Together, we can redefine what it means to explore Paris, ensuring our guests leave with their bellies full and their hearts captivated by the real stories and flavors of our city.
If this resonates with you, if you feel the stirrings of a shared purpose, let’s connect. Drop us an email at admin@eatlikethefrench.com. Let’s discuss how we can collaborate to make Paris not just a stop on a tourist’s itinerary, but a memorable journey into the heart of its culinary world.
Together, let’s cook up something extraordinary.
