Breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks are included; allow 5h for the outing. 4.9 from 48 reviews at €158 per person. In our comparison: #51 of 88 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview East Paris reveals a different side of the city, where generations of migration have transformed French food culture. From Bastille to Belleville, we’ll explore neighborhoods where traditional bakeries, markets and cafés sit alongside flavors from North Africa, Vietnam and beyond. Along the way, we’ll taste French cheeses, Algerian pastries, Vietnamese coffee and artisanal jambon parisien from one of its last true producers. We’ll also visit family-run bakeries, neighborhood épiceries and other local institutions that reflect the daily rhythm of eastern Paris. More than a collection of dishes, this tour explores how cooks, bakers and community leaders are redefining what French cuisine means today. It’s a look at a Paris shaped by exchange, adaptation and creativity — far beyond the postcard clichés. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We meet in front of Ginko Patisserie, - Starts 10:30, 11:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: Snacks, Lunch, Breakfast - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €23: ages 0 to 6 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €158 per person - Duration: 5h - Rating: 4.9/5 from 48 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Culinary Backstreets Walks - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 10:30, 11:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.9 from 48 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 46 of 48. - 5 stars: 45 (94%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 2 (4%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the varied food and cultural context; the route involves a lot of walking **Praised:** - Varied tastings combining French food with immigrant cuisines - Guides explain the history and cultural influences behind the dishes - Neighbourhood food stops that travellers say they would otherwise miss - Friendly guides who adapt the conversation and pace to the group **Complaints:** - A lot of walking between food stops - Some find the amount of food overwhelming Written by Guidekin from the 48 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2025-11-09 to 2026-10-02); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - Soda/Pop - Snacks - Lunch - Breakfast - Coffee and/or Tea ## Itinerary 1. **Fontaines Wallace** (30m; admission included) - The fountains embody both practicality and beauty, symbolizing charity and public well-being. 2. **Jardin Truillot** (30m; admission included) - This public garden is tended both by the city and by locals: It’s one of 185 shared gardens in the city. 3. **Avenue named after Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, the man who popularized potat...** (30m) - Avenue named after Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, the man who popularized potatoes in France. 4. **Belleville** (1h) - embodies Paris’ long history of immigration and cultural blending, making it a key stop to explore how migration has shaped the city’s food and identity. ## Schedule - Runs: Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 10:30, 11:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-03 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We meet in front of Ginko Patisserie, 33 Rue des Alouettes, 75019 Paris, France NOTE: This meeting point is only for the following dates: September: 9, 11, 12(11 AM), 15(11 AM), 16, 18(10.30 AM), 22, 23(11 AM), 25(10.30 AM) and 30(10.30 AM).
