Right, you probably get that I’m like you and you might’ve binged watched “Emily in Paris,” right? It’s a show with vibrant outfits, picturesque backdrops and of course, a whole lot of yummy French food. When the ‘The Official Emily in Paris Food Tour’ popped up, well, I simply had to give it a go. Was it total wish fulfillment or total tourist trap? Find out as I tell you all about my edible escapade in the heart of Paris.
First Impressions: Setting the Stage
So, first thing I did when I heard of the tour, like your first time watching the show, was wonder: would it live up to the expectations? The promotional photos, they were tempting. They displayed flaky croissants, perfect macarons, and charming little cafes. The thought of tasting my way through the series was quite a tempting idea. As I signed up, I was kind of wondering if it would be as charming as portrayed.
Basically, the tour starts, I’m going to say, in a fairly central location, near a metro stop. The guide, naturally, they were fluent in English and had kind of an enthusiasm that’s definitely infectious. The group, by the way, was diverse, folks like your might imagine coming from across the globe, all bonded with what you might see as our shared love for the series and of course food. After introductions were out of the way, we were ready to eat.
A Whirlwind of Flavors: What We Ate
That thing you really want to know is what was on the menu. Right, let me break it down for you, alright? The tour involved five food stops, and each had a special touch from the show.
- Croissants from a Traditional Boulangerie: You can probably guess the first stop involved some absolutely gorgeous, buttery croissants at a local bakery that just had charm dripping from the rafters. The guide basically explained just how to tell a great croissant, something like watching for that honeycomb structure inside. It tasted light, so that means it was delicious, basically melting in my mouth. It could be described as the quintessential French breakfast item done well.
- Macarons at a Pâtisserie: Next stop, you’d like it, a colourful array of macarons. We learned the stories, as you might expect, about the confection’s creation. Everyone selected a couple of flavors, then we compared the choices. Like your finding the right shade of lipstick, I settled on the classic raspberry as well as a salted caramel. The shells had that just right, very slightly crunchy exterior, with a kind of a chewy, smooth filling.
- Savory Quiche: A small, tucked-away bistro was just so cute and perfect for savoring quiche Lorraine. That pastry was rich as can be, very eggy custard, with bacon, of course. The flaky crust basically crumbled at every touch. The guide, like in every restaurant, filled us in on how this pastry came to be, a perfect savory indulgence, to tell you the truth.
- Charcuterie and Cheese Tasting: Next up, a very Parisian experience: sampling some local charcuterie and cheeses. The guide, I believe she explained the region that these cheese hailed from. She walked us through the flavors so that even a beginner could find what was so delicious. So many of the items, that the creamy brie to the nutty Comté, tasted so nice with the crispy baguette slices that came with them. The salty cured meats, so tasty, complemented it just perfectly, so nice.
- Chocolate Éclair: To tell you the truth, a total ending for every good food tasting: the chocolate éclair. It wasn’t just any éclair; so it was a really delicious chocolatey cream stuffed in, drizzled with ganache so thick, it really was something to get you hyped up. It may well have been the best éclair I have ever had, but I don’t know for sure, that’s just how I felt.
Beyond the Food: The “Emily in Paris” Connection
Alright, this tour is probably more than only a food-tasting thing, I’d suggest. The “Emily in Paris” aspect probably elevated it. With all the food, so many of the places connected to the show directly, the tour had the “Easter Eggs”.
- Filming Locations: Okay, you probably get to pass by some filming spots. Seeing them felt fun for me, something like stepping right inside the series, the bistros to the bakeries from a season of binge-watching, basically being able to take selfies, that kind of thing.
- Behind-the-Scenes Trivia: You also get to hear loads of things the show did that no one knows, the production anecdotes that are so fun. The tour guide, they might fill you in on which scenes used what food. Some little details, like maybe Emily actually loving macarons, could come up and things.
- Themed Photo Ops: Plenty of things you probably know and can expect, like photo opportunities. So you are definitely going to strike the same poses at places Emily does. That’s pretty memorable, taking snapshots that are fun and Instagrammable to be sure.
The Tour Guide: Our Parisian Pal
Actually, that guide had things together. The food and location and insider details came together from a guide who knew the stuff, so very nicely. So they had such energy that it transferred onto me. They were funny, very fun to learn from. So they might’ve just really been Parisian. Their energy, I believe, made this such a high thing.
They did great telling about the culinary traditions for us beginners, which means that made tasting way more. Any person felt more associated with all that happened because someone very nice who cared was there to assist, you see.

- Comparing Costs: When trying any value analysis thing, think about going to all those shops and location place settings on you, right on your own. Transportation expenses with the time things, the tour might show is a deal in costs saved with headaches gone at day.
- The “Emily” Effect: I do seriously think those things are worthy to consider, there, of all these Emily additions do raise that tour feeling up above of any kind average normal eats that might make this package one you’d not regret buying from start, as such, to some memorable point you may enjoy in you some heart soon as later happens down what things play themselves forward just fine over some span now forward for soon after days happen.
