The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by Paris by Emily · Bookable on Viator
Paris tastes better when it has a soundtrack. This 2.5-hour, small-group walk ties classic Left Bank scenery to photo stops and 7 food tastings, plus a big finale that lands you right where the flavors matter. You get the show-factor without turning it into just another photo parade.
I especially like that the experience is built for real taste, not just snacks, with guide Anaïs bringing food talk, humor, and lots of Emily in Paris spotting along the way. The included souvenir kit is a bonus too: a tote bag and a customized Emily Polaroid photo and frame. One drawback to plan around: transportation and any extra food or drinks are on you, so this is best seen as a guided tasting session, not your full meal plan.

A Show-Inspired Food Walk Through the Left Bank
This tour works because it understands two things at once: you’re in Paris for food, and you’re in Paris for the movies too. You move through the 5th and 6th arrondissements at a pace that feels like walking with a friend who knows where to stop.
The plan is short and focused—about 2 hours 30 minutes—so you won’t spend half your day in transit or waiting around. It’s also capped at 10 people, which matters in Paris. Smaller groups mean better attention, quicker photo turns, and less time standing around wondering what to do next.

Price and Value: What $109 Covers (and What It Doesn’t)

At $109 per person, this isn’t a budget food tour, so you want to know what you’re really paying for. Here’s the math your stomach can understand: you’re getting 7 tastings, plus a dedicated wine tasting and cheese tasting stop at La Coop Paris.
That’s typically the kind of tasting setup that would cost extra if you booked it separately, and you also get guided movement between iconic photo sites—so you’re paying for both the food and the route. On top of that, you receive the branded tote and a customized Emily Polaroid frame, which makes it feel like more than a one-off meal.
The only part that can trip people up is what’s not included: transportation and any additional food or drinks. So if you’re the type who wants to keep eating right after the tour ends, you’ll need a plan.
Meeting Point and Timing: How to Set Yourself Up

You start at 200 Rue Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris, at 10:30 am. The tour ends at La Coop Paris, 9 Rue Corneille, 75006, which is handy because you finish near where you’ll likely want to keep wandering (or grab a late lunch).
It runs about 2 hours 30 minutes, and the stops are short—think 10 to 15 minutes for photo and sightseeing moments, then a longer tasting block at the end. That means you’ll want shoes you can walk in. Even a “small” Paris route adds up fast.
Also, plan to arrive a few minutes early so you’re not flustered. You’ll have a mobile ticket, and confirmation is sent at booking, which keeps the day-of check-in simple. And since it’s near public transportation, you can make it work even if you’re not staying nearby.
One more practical note: this tour is often booked well ahead. The average booking window is about 110 days, so if you’re traveling during a busy season, earlier is better.
Stop 1: Place de l’Estrapade Photo Moments

Your first stop is Place de l’Estrapade, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a quick photo stop with sightseeing time (about 15 minutes). This is a warm-up for the rest of the day. You get oriented in the area, stretch your legs, and start seeing how the route connects the show vibe to real Paris streets.
What I like about using a photo stop early is that it settles your brain. You’re not hunting for the right angle while everyone else is already moving. Instead, you get time to frame a few shots, then you’re off.
Since there’s no admission ticket fee listed for this segment, you can keep the mental focus on the street details—facades, street corners, and that classic Left Bank look.
Stop 2: Panthéon Area Tasting and a Quick Photo Break

Next comes the Panthéon area. You’ll get another photo stop (about 10 minutes) that also includes a food tasting.
This is where the tour shifts from scenery into appetite. The time is short, so you’ll want to listen while you’re tasting—because you won’t have time for a long pause afterward. A good tip here is simple: take one photo, then turn your full attention back to the food. The tastings are the point.
The Panthéon location also helps you understand why this route works. You’re not eating in a random storefront tunnel. You’re sampling in the same neighborhood that anchors Paris postcards, with the show references fitting naturally into the setting.
Stop 3: Luxembourg Gardens Walk With Show-Spotting Time

After the Panthéon stop, you’ll head to Luxembourg Gardens for about 15 minutes of photo opportunities, sightseeing, and a walk.
Luxembourg Gardens is one of those places where the light can change minute to minute. That makes it great for photos, but it also creates little pockets of calm—so you can reset before the big tasting finale.
What you’ll likely appreciate here is the balance between motion and pause. You’re not stuck sitting through a lecture. You’re walking, looking, and then catching Emily in Paris moments as the guide points out spots tied to the series while you pass them.
Also, Luxembourg Gardens sits in a stretch that feels different from the busier streets. Even if you’ve seen pictures a hundred times, being there in person is what makes the route feel real, not staged.
Final Stop at La Coop Paris: Wine and Cheese Tasting

The day ends at La Coop Paris at 9 Rue Corneille, 75006, with a longer tasting block (about 30 minutes) focused on wine tasting and cheese tasting.
This is the payoff, so treat it like the main event. By the time you reach this stop, you’ve already sampled smaller bites earlier. Now you get to slow down and taste with intention: wine first, cheese pairings after, and enough time to enjoy the flavors rather than chasing the clock.
One practical way to get the most out of this segment is to listen to what the guide emphasizes about each tasting. Even if your taste buds are already doing their own thing, the explanation helps you notice what makes French cheese and wine pairings click.
And because admission tickets aren’t the focus here, you’ll feel like you’re finishing a guided meal experience, not paying for an attraction. The route ends where you can actually taste your way through Paris.
The Included Souvenirs: Tote Bag and Emily Polaroid Frame

This tour doesn’t just hand you food. It hands you a piece of the story.
You get an Emily in Paris tote bag, plus a customized Emily Polaroid photo and frame. That kind of souvenir is more useful than it looks at first glance. The tote is practical for grocery runs or day trips, and the frame gives you something tangible that matches the show theme of your photos from the route.
It also makes the tour feel more “official” and intentional, which matters if you’re a fan but don’t want the whole day to be merch shopping in disguise.
Food Expectations: 7 Tastings, Not a Full Dinner
The big thing to understand about the food side is the structure. You’re receiving 7 tastings, spread across the route, with the heavier hit at La Coop Paris.
So yes, you’ll likely leave comfortably satisfied. But if you’re hungry for a full meal with a main dish, this may not be enough. Think of it like a guided sampler plus a pairing finale, not a replacement for dinner.
Also, the tour data notes that additional food and drinks are not included. Translation: if you want extra wine, dessert, or a sandwich after the tour, bring your budget and energy. The finish point makes it easy to keep the day going on your own.
The Guide Factor: Anaïs and the Fun That Helps You Pay Attention
One name comes through clearly: Anaïs. The role of the guide here isn’t just to manage the group. She ties the tastings to the Paris setting and keeps the walk lively, including pointing out filming-related spots tied to Emily in Paris.
Why does that matter? Because when you understand what you’re tasting, you remember it longer. And when you know what you’re looking at on the street, your photos look better. You don’t just end up with pictures—you end up with context.
Anaïs also comes across as funny and enthusiastic, which helps during the short stop windows. When you’ve got only 10 or 15 minutes at a location, a guide who can keep things moving without rushing you makes the whole experience better.
Photo Opportunities Without Feeling Like a Theme Park
If you’re worried this will be too “constant selfie mode,” don’t be. The stops are timed—15 minutes here, 10 minutes there—so you get photo time and then food time.
A nice rhythm happens: you frame the image, then you taste. You walk through a recognizable scene, then you learn something about what’s in your hands. That keeps it balanced and stops the day from turning into one long waiting line for the right angle.
One thing I recommend: set your phone to a quick burst mode before you reach each landmark. That way you get the shot quickly and you still have time to enjoy the moment instead of hovering.
Who This Tour Suits Best (and Who Might Skip It)
This experience fits best if you want:
- a Paris day that mixes food tastings with famous Left Bank scenery
- an Emily in Paris fan vibe without losing the focus on real bites
- a small group (max 10) so you can ask questions and actually hear the guide
It may not be ideal if you:
- want a long sit-down meal with full courses
- hate walking in a city setting for a couple hours
- need the tour to include transportation and extra drinks
If you’re somewhere in the middle—curious about French food and also excited about the series—this is a strong match.
Should You Book the Official Emily in Paris Food Tour?
I’d book it if you’re traveling with either a food focus or an Emily in Paris focus, and you want a structured way to combine both. For $109, the inclusion of 7 tastings plus the wine and cheese finale at La Coop Paris makes the value feel practical, not just themed.
I’d pause and rethink if you’re expecting a full meal, or if you prefer tours that cover fewer stops and linger longer at each one. This route is paced, and the whole point is that you keep moving—taste, photo, walk, repeat.
If your schedule allows it, book early. The average booking window is about 110 days, so prime dates can disappear.
