Spend a Day with a French Chef Chef PJ, a French chef in Montmartre, and experience Paris through the eyes of someone who actually lives and cooks here. This is not a tasting tour. Your day begins with a French breakfast of pastries and coffee, followed by a walk and a visit to food shops and markets. Then PJ takes you to his restaurant, Le Petit Moulin, where he prepares a proper French feast for you to enjoy. After lunch, we continue with a dessert tour, discovering more of the neighbourhood’s stories. Chef PJ has earned hundreds of five-star reviews from guests during his years working with Secret Food Tours and Eating Europe. Now, through The Chef Tours, he offers the experience his own way: small groups, a real chef, great food, and genuine conversation. The Chef Tours also brings this same chef-led approach to Berlin, Seville, Istanbul, Mexico City and Buenos Aires. But in Paris, it all starts with PJ. Come hungry. Leave knowing Paris a little differently.

Chef PJ knows how to entertain!
Outstanding experience! We learned about the history, culture, and everyday vibe of the Montmartre neighborhood, which was our primary motive for taking the tour. Chef PJ was the bomb! He taught us so much; he entertained us with his dry wit and wealth of knowledge, and then he fed and wined us to our hearts' content. I cannot overstate how much fun this tour was, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a sense of adventure (and sense of humor).
via Tripadvisor
Wonderful tour!
Great experience. Chef PJ may seem a bit rough around the edges, but his knowledge of food and wine is incredible. One of the most educational food tours we've ever been on. So much fun as well.
Response from the operator: So glad you had a good time.
via Tripadvisor
A memorable tour with a real chef.
PJ is formidable presence. He is a resident of Montmartre and has a wonderful sense of humor and loves his community. He has stories to tell about all that he meets and, as an actual chef and restaurant owner, knows the food scene.
Response from the operator: He does know the food scene, thank you so much

Highly recommend! Not always a fan of food tours when traveling, but I couldn’t resist after reading about Chef PJ on Reddit. He’s awesome. Very informative and a hilarious storyteller, delicious food and wine. Such a fun day and a great experience as a solo traveler
Response from the operator: Wow! We have converted another one to our unconventional approach. We have chef tours in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and many more cities. Thank you for being awesome guests.

Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 166 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour?
+
Around 58 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.
What is included in Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour?
+
Included: Dessert Tour; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; Snacks; and Wine lesson and tasting. Not included: Guide tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour?
+
Meet at Blanche Station. There is only one Exit. NEVER take Uber, or you will arrive late. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Paris. Standard cancellation terms apply.
What do travelers say about Chef PJ's Montmartre Food Tour?

Across 166 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, knowledge and storytelling. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
