Cook French and Romanian-inspired dishes with local host Ioana, then share a home-cooked meal in her Montreuil apartment.

About this tour

Step beyond the usual Paris dining room and join Ioana in her cozy home in Montreuil, where French cuisine meets Romanian and Balkan family traditions. This Paris French Home Cooking Class offers a personal way to connect with local food and culture.

During the hands-on session, learn to prepare a main dish or dessert from scratch. Depending on your chosen seasonal menu, you might make boeuf bourguignon, a savory feta-and-spinach borek, or papanasi, a Romanian cheese dessert. Then sit down to enjoy a home-cooked meal with your host. Menu options also include French favorites and dishes inspired by Ioana’s family recipes. Alcoholic beverages are included.

This is a welcoming visit to a local home rather than a commercial cooking school, with time to share stories and discover the influences behind the food. The apartment is in Montreuil, accessible by metro from central Paris. Choose a weekday dinner or a weekend lunch or dinner, and book your Paris French Home Cooking Class for a flavorful, personal taste of the city’s food culture.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.60 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
