Culinary Guide & Food Tours

1A. Market tour and local food sampling. 135 € p.p. includes tour, food and wine (10:30 am-12:45 pm)

This outing is for adventurous food lovers who seek a morning of fun, exploration and a sampling of variuous local products. Enjoy a personalized shopping trip to Bordeaux’s famous covered market, visit my favourite merchants and sample local foos, even some you have never before tasted. Savour local sea snails (cooked), slurp oysters, nibble on whole grain breads, Pyrenees local products and raw-milk runny and yummy cheeses, followed by local wine.

1B. Market tour only with lunch at one of the market eateries or neighbourhood restaurants. Tour 85 €

2. Chartrons Walking Tour (10:30 am-1:30 pm): 50 € p.p. Breakfast and lunch paid by client.

Start with breakfast at an 18th century boulangerie where the croissants and breads come out of a 300-year-old wood-burning oven followed by a walk in the streets of the Chartrons area. I point out my favorite food shops, bakeries and sites and suggest places for lunch.

I would be happy to join you for lunch as your guest or simply reserve the restaurant for you.

3. It’s Apero Time chez Kim (5:30 pm – 7:30 pm): 50 € p.p.

After a day of exploring Bordeaux on foot or by car to a local château, wind down at the end of your day with the all-time favorite of the French, “l’apéro”, better known as “The Aperitif” or just simply, “time to collapse and have a glass of wine before dinner”. You are on vacation, you don’t have to food shop or pick up the kids, restaurants do not open until 7:00 or 7:30, so “pourquoi
pas ?” (why not ?). Have a glass of wine or two, nibble on some french classics and share your day or ask questions to a bilingual, bi-cultural transplanted New Yorker living in Bordeaux.
