Join me on a Paris walking food tour where I’ll peel back the layers of the city’s vibrant food scene—one market stall, bakery, and hidden gem at a time. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about taste.

Sourcing Ingredients: A Culinary Treasure Hunt

Ever wonder why your supermarket tomatoes taste like damp cardboard?

On my Paris walking food tour, you’ll learn that the art of French cooking starts at the source.

We’ll hit the markets.

The hidden corners where chefs whisper about their suppliers like they’re dealing in rare jewels.

I’ll show you what a real carrot should taste like.

And why it matters.

Understanding the Real Cost of Your Food

Bargain baguettes and cut-rate croissants? Non, merci.

Cheap food has a price.

One you’ll taste in every dry crumb.

I’ll break down what you’re actually paying for when you choose quality:

Craftsmanship.

Culture.

And frankly, a level of respect for your taste buds.

No more culinary self-sabotage.

Secrets of the Restaurant Business Revealed

You think you’re dining in some rustic, authentic Parisian bistro?

Think again.

I’ll spill the kitchen secrets the industry doesn’t want you to know.

Microwaved ‘house specials.’

Factory-made sauces.

By the end, you’ll know how to spot a restaurant that’s just playing dress-up.

Versus one where the chef actually cooks.

Tasting the Extraordinary: A New Standard for ‘Normal’

Once you’ve bitten into a proper baguette—

Golden crust.

Aroma that whispers poetry.

You’ll realize you’ve been settling.

My Paris walking food tour isn’t just about tasting.

It’s about redefining what you consider ‘good food.’

Prepare your palate for some culinary reprogramming.

Day Drinking: The Chef’s Secret to Culinary Revelry

The French have mastered the art of daytime indulgence.

On this Paris walking food tour, we won’t just sip wine.

We’ll pair it with oysters.

Foie gras.

And whatever seasonal delight calls out from the market stalls.

Because food tastes better when you’re slightly tipsy.

And life’s too short to save the good bottles for evening.

Food Tour Guide
From the bustling streets of Paris to the quiet moments at home, my journey is one of passion, resilience, and a deep love for French cuisine. I’m a brit who moved to France with my Parents aged 16, trained as a chef in Paris Palace at 18 and have spent decades observing and eating like the French. Having spent some time as a tech recruiter my move last year to share my love of food as a local food tour guide in Paris has been a delicious turn of events, blending my professional skills with my personal story of renewal.
