Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Montpellier worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Montpellier and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Montpellier?

With so many tempting flavors in Montpellier, it can be tough to pick a favorite. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the city’s fresh Mediterranean seafood, including locally caught fish and shellfish, as well as traditional Languedoc dishes like hearty stews, ratatouille, and regional specialties. Montpellier is also known for its artisan cheeses, farm-fresh produce, and charming bakeries offering delicious pastries and sweets.

Are tourists welcome in Montpellier?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Montpellier tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Montpellier.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Montpellier experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
