Unreliable! Canceled the experience SAME DAY!.
We arrived in Paris in the morning and were planning on having a lovely experience with Chef Alex that evening, but after getting off the plane we received an email that Chef Alex was canceling because something came up. He offered us a cheese tasting for $100 a person instead, or rescheduling dinner for the following week. We ended up with nothing to do on our first night in Paris. What a disappointment. We do not recommend this experience. We recommend booking an experience with someone reliable.

Beware! He will cancel on you last minute!
Do NOT book this. We booked 2 months in advance and Chef Alex cancelled on us the day of our reservation was to be 7 plate dinner at 8:15 and instead offered a 4pm wine and cheese with a ridiculous 25 Euro refund! Ridiculous! Fighting with Biator now for a full refund! What a disappointment!

Interesting tutorial of cheese and wine
My husband and I were in Paris celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. We had a 3-course lunch in the Eiffel Tower. Later we met Chef Alex in the Latin Quarter and he walked the group through the Mouffetard Market to his restaurant where we sampled 6 cheeses ( with a delicious baguette) and 3 wines. He taught us how to smell and eat cheese and also that sometimes the French add olive oil or salt and pepper to the cheese. He has the best personality and we really enjoyed ourselves and meeting others in our group.

Tasting with Chef Alex
Hi Chef Alex. Just wanted to follow up from our tasting with you. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon!!!!! The food was delectable and enjoyable! I loved your passion for cooking and preparing a meal that was perfection. The spices that were in the dishes were perfectly matched the the main ingredients! Looking forward to your recipes for your mother’s tart and your crème brûlée! Again I have to say I toughly enjoyed the experience. PS already recommended your tasting to another tour guide. Best wishes Jackie and Lorenzo

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7 French Dishes in Paris with Chef Alex start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
