5.00A unique experience that I’d highly recommend for anyone that enjoys baking. I did this experience with my daughter and we had a great time. We were only a small group (four people) and we got a very personalised touch. A big thanks to our wonderful chef!

5.00I had an incredibly unique and memorable experience doing the macaron baking class at Le Foodist in Paris. Chef Stéphane, a Michelin star pastry chef, was very patient and detailed in his instruction, and made the class a fun and educational experience for everyone. As it was a very small class size, he was able to help us individually with each of the steps. During downtime while waiting for things to mix and bake, he told us about his history working in the restaurant industry and about life and food in France, which was fascinating to learn about. After we had finished baking and assembling our macarons, we had a nice tasting with coffee and tea, and we received a copy of the recipes we had made as well as a couple of extras to try at home. At the end, chef Stéphane learned that we were interested in trying certain foods in Paris, and so he made some recommendations on shops to visit and a restaurant that he knew in town, and even called them for me and the other two people in the class to get a reservation later that night! I had an amazing time at Le Foodist, and it was easily one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Paris. Highly recommended to anyone interested in cooking or baking.
Phenomenal experience!

5.00What an awesome experience! I booked this class for my son, my mom and myself during our stay in Paris in March 2025. Our instructor was so fantastic and made the class incredibly easy to follow, not to mention tasty results! We had more than enough macarons to take back with us! An added bonus: we got restaurant recommendations! As travelers who prioritize intimate experiences, this was a wonderful addition to our excursion. I’ve recommended it to everyone who plans to visit Paris since!!
