Taste of Paris 2027 – France

What to expect in 2027

Taste of Paris is a major gastronomy festival bringing together chefs, restaurants, pastry specialists, producers, artisans and food-and-drink brands in one large culinary experience. The official festival describes the event as a place where visitors can taste signature dishes, meet chefs, discover new restaurants and experience exclusive culinary creations in tasting portions.

The festival combines restaurant-style dining with demonstrations, cooking activities, producer stalls, beverage experiences and premium hospitality. Its format is designed to allow visitors to move between different culinary areas rather than attending a conventional seated food fair.

For the 2027 edition, the exact chef lineup, participating restaurants, producer market and detailed programme should be checked once the organizer publishes the new edition information. The official website currently provides the latest published edition as the reference for the festival’s established format.

Visitors can expect several recurring elements:

• Chef restaurants: Signature dishes served in tasting formats.
• Producer market: Selected food producers and artisans offering products to discover and purchase.
• Live demonstrations: Chefs presenting recipes, techniques and culinary ideas.
• Cooking workshops: Practical sessions where visitors can cook alongside professionals.
• Bars and drinks: Champagne, wine, beer, cocktails, coffee, tea, water and non-alcoholic options.
• VIP experiences: Dedicated hospitality areas and premium dining experiences.
• Family activities: The festival has previously included a dedicated children’s area and other entertainment.

Event dates

Taste of Paris 2027 is planned for May 2027, with the exact dates to be announced by the organizer.

The official website has not yet published the confirmed 2027 dates in the information currently available. Visitors should therefore check the official Taste of Paris website before making travel or accommodation arrangements.

Venue & festival site

Taste of Paris is held at the Grand Palais in Paris, providing a large central venue for restaurants, chef demonstrations, producers, bars, workshops and hospitality areas. The official festival describes the Grand Palais as the setting for its gastronomic experience and uses the venue to bring together the French food scene under one roof.

The festival site is arranged into different experiences rather than operating solely as a traditional exhibition hall. Depending on the edition, areas have included restaurants, the Laurent-Perrier Theatre, Atelier Rosières, a producer market, VIP Lounge, children’s activities and specialist food-and-drink areas.

The layout allows visitors to create their own culinary route. Someone interested primarily in restaurant dishes can concentrate on the restaurant area, while visitors interested in learning can spend more time at demonstrations and cooking workshops.

Full food & drink programme

The complete 2027 food and drink programme has not yet been officially released. Based on the latest published festival format, the programme is built around restaurant experiences, chef demonstrations, producer discoveries and beverage pairings.

The official website’s latest menus show how the festival presents individual dishes from participating chefs and restaurants. Menus can include starters, main-course-style tasting dishes, desserts and specialist creations, with allergen information provided for individual dishes.

The programme is designed around tasting portions so visitors can sample several different creations during one visit. This allows the festival to function as a culinary discovery experience rather than a single restaurant meal.

The organizer has also established dedicated beverage areas and opportunities to pair drinks with dishes. Champagne, wines, beers, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, coffee and tea have all formed part of the festival’s wider food-and-drink offering.

The final 2027 menus should be treated as unconfirmed until they appear on the official Taste of Paris website.

Featured foods & specialties

Taste of Paris focuses on contemporary French and international gastronomy rather than one single regional cuisine. The festival brings together established chefs, emerging culinary talent, pastry specialists and restaurants representing different styles of cooking.

Past official menus demonstrate the variety visitors can encounter, including seafood, vegetables, meat dishes, pastries, desserts and internationally influenced cuisine. The latest published menu system also identifies vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and provides allergen categories to help visitors choose appropriately.

Pastry is an important part of the festival experience. The official chef and programme pages feature pastry professionals alongside restaurant chefs, giving visitors opportunities to discover desserts, chocolate and other sweet creations.

The final selection of featured foods for 2027 will depend on the participating chefs and restaurants announced by the organizer.

Restaurants, vendors & producers

One of the central attractions of Taste of Paris is its combination of restaurants and a dedicated producer and artisan marketplace. The official website describes the market as a selection of producers and artisans offering exceptional products, distinctive flavours and items that visitors can taste on site or take home.

Participating restaurants are typically represented through their chefs and signature dishes. This allows visitors to sample food from several Parisian and wider culinary destinations in one location.

The latest published chef information includes restaurant professionals and culinary personalities such as Alan Geaam, Mohamed Cheikh, Paul Pairet, Nina Métayer, Philippe Conticini, Pierre Marcolini, Simone Zanoni and Stéphanie Le Quellec, among many others. These names relate to the latest published programme and should not be treated as the confirmed 2027 lineup.

The official website should be used as the definitive source for the 2027 restaurant and producer list once it is released.

Wine, beer & beverage selection

Drinks are an important part of the Taste of Paris experience, with the official festival describing a broad selection covering champagne, wine, beer, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. Coffee, tea, matcha and mineral water have also featured in the festival’s beverage programme.

Laurent-Perrier is the festival’s official champagne partner, with the brand describing itself as the exclusive champagne of Taste of Paris since the festival’s early editions. The festival’s beverage programme also includes opportunities to match drinks with dishes prepared by participating chefs.

The latest published programme has included dedicated beverage experiences such as champagne, wine, beer, water, coffee and tea areas. The exact 2027 participating beverage brands should be confirmed through the official programme.

Non-alcoholic choices are also part of the festival experience, making the beverage offering broader than alcoholic drinks alone.

Tastings, cooking demos & workshops

Taste of Paris is designed around active participation as well as eating. The official festival programme includes live chef demonstrations at the Laurent-Perrier Theatre, where chefs present their cooking approaches, techniques and culinary ideas directly to visitors.

The Atelier Rosières provides another hands-on component. According to the official website, professional chefs lead cooking classes where visitors can participate directly rather than simply watching a demonstration. These workshops have been offered free of additional charge, subject to available places and registration at the beginning of the relevant session.

Other activities can include book signings, meetings with chefs, specialist experiences and interactive installations. Some activities may require registration or may depend on the visitor’s ticket category.

The 2027 workshop schedule should be checked on the official website once the programme is published.

Ticket types & entry options

The latest published ticket structure includes several categories. The exact 2027 prices have not yet been announced, so the following amounts are based on the latest official published ticket information and converted into USD.

• Discovery ticket: From approximately $28.45. This provides festival admission, while food and drinks are purchased separately.
• VIP ticket: From approximately $73.89, with privileged entry and access to the VIP Lounge.
• VIP Freedom ticket: From approximately $79.58, providing more flexibility regarding the selected festival session.
• Taste Tables: From approximately $261.74, offering a more exclusive dining experience with reserved seating and a tasting menu.

These USD figures are approximate conversions of the latest published prices using an indicative exchange rate and are not confirmed 2027 prices. The official ticket page states that pricing can vary and that tickets may be offered in different versions, including dated and flexible options.

Food and drinks are generally separate from basic festival admission. Visitors should therefore consider both their entry ticket and their desired food and beverage spending when planning their visit.

VIP & premium experiences

Taste of Paris offers premium hospitality options for visitors seeking a more exclusive experience. The official hospitality information describes dedicated VIP reception, privileged festival access, a panoramic VIP Lounge and champagne service.

The Taste Tables concept provides reserved tables on the Grand Palais balconies, allowing guests to enjoy the festival from a quieter and more private setting. The published package includes a tasting menu and food-and-champagne pairings.

The Club Taste hospitality offer is designed for premium groups and corporate guests. It includes dedicated reception, VIP access, a private lounge, reserved tables and a multi-course tasting menu with champagne pairings, subject to the applicable hospitality arrangements.

The availability and final conditions of premium packages for 2027 should be confirmed directly with the official organizer.

Event rules

Visitors should follow the official festival terms, ticket conditions and instructions provided by the organizer. Tickets can be subject to specific session conditions, and certain experiences may require separate registration or have limited capacity.

Food and drinks are normally purchased separately from standard festival admission. Visitors should also follow allergen information and individual vendor instructions when ordering dishes.

The official website provides allergen information for dishes in its menu system, covering categories such as gluten, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, mustard, sesame and soy. Visitors with allergies should check the information directly with the festival and food provider before consuming a dish.

Alcohol should be consumed responsibly, and the organizer’s information specifically includes a responsible-drinking warning for alcoholic beverages.

How to get there

Taste of Paris takes place at the Grand Palais in central Paris. The venue’s central location makes it practical to reach by public transport, taxi, private vehicle and other city transport options.

Visitors travelling from outside Paris can use the city’s major railway stations before continuing by metro, bus, taxi or other local transport. International visitors can also reach central Paris from the city’s airports and then continue to the venue.

Because Paris transport arrangements can change, visitors should check the official Grand Palais access information and current public-transport information before travelling.

Public transport & parking

Public transport is generally the most practical way to reach the Grand Palais because the venue is located in central Paris and is served by the city’s extensive metro and bus network.

Visitors driving into Paris should check current parking restrictions and nearby parking facilities before travelling. Central Paris can be busy, particularly around major attractions and large events, so public transport may provide a simpler option.

The official Taste of Paris website directs visitors to the venue and provides access information through its FAQ and event information pages.

Accommodation areas

Visitors travelling from outside Paris can choose accommodation in several central districts depending on their budget and preferred atmosphere.

Champs-Élysées and 8th arrondissement: Convenient for central sightseeing, restaurants and major attractions.

17th arrondissement: Useful for visitors who want to stay slightly farther from the most expensive central areas while remaining within easy reach of the venue.

1st and 2nd arrondissements: Good choices for visitors combining the festival with central Paris sightseeing and shopping.

Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés: Suitable for visitors interested in historic Paris, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions.

Montparnasse: A practical option for travellers arriving by train and looking for a well-connected base.

Accommodation should be booked only after the organizer confirms the final 2027 event schedule if your trip depends specifically on festival attendance.

Food & drink highlights

Taste of Paris stands out through its combination of restaurant tasting, chef interaction, producer discovery and beverage pairing. Rather than focusing on one food category, the festival provides a broad overview of contemporary gastronomy.

Key highlights include:

• Signature dishes: Small-format creations from participating chefs and restaurants.
• Pastry: Desserts and creations from leading pastry professionals.
• Producer market: Specialty products and artisan discoveries.
• Chef demonstrations: Live cooking and culinary presentations.
• Cooking classes: Practical sessions at the Atelier Rosières.
• Beverage pairing: Champagne, wine, beer and other drinks selected to complement food.
• VIP dining: Premium lounges, reserved seating and tasting-menu experiences.

The tasting format makes it possible to sample several dishes rather than committing to a full meal from one restaurant.

Accessibility

The official festival FAQ includes visitor-access information, and the Grand Palais is the principal event venue. Visitors requiring accessibility assistance should check the latest official venue and festival guidance before attending because access arrangements can depend on the specific area or activity.

Visitors with dietary requirements can use the official menu information to identify allergen categories where provided. The published menu system includes filters for several allergens as well as dietary categories such as gluten-free and vegetarian choices.

For specific accessibility requirements, visitors should contact the organizer before purchasing or attending so that the appropriate arrangements can be confirmed.

Best days to attend

The best session depends on what type of experience you want from Taste of Paris. Visitors primarily interested in chef demonstrations may want to choose a session that includes the chefs or activities they most want to see.

Food-focused visitors can benefit from planning their route before entering, particularly if they want to visit several restaurants, producers and beverage areas. The official festival application has been designed to help visitors prepare their visit, including selecting favourite chefs and planning their tasting route.

For a quieter experience, visitors may prefer a less busy session, while those looking for a livelier festival atmosphere may prefer a busier period. The final 2027 programme and session structure should be reviewed before selecting tickets.

Previous year’s highlights

Previous editions have established Taste of Paris as a large-scale meeting point for French and international gastronomy, combining major chefs, emerging talent, pastry specialists, restaurants, producers and beverage brands. The official festival describes its format as a mixture of tastings, discoveries, meetings and live culinary experiences.

The latest published edition featured a wide chef roster and an extensive menu programme, with participating names including Alan Geaam, Ankur Chakraborty, Assaf Granit, Mohamed Cheikh, Mauro Colagreco, Paul Pairet, Philippe Conticini, Pierre Marcolini, Simone Zanoni, Stéphanie Le Quellec, Thierry Marx and others.

The festival also continued its producer market, chef demonstrations, cooking workshops, VIP Lounge and other interactive experiences. The official animation programme specifically highlights live demonstrations, chef-led workshops and additional activities for visitors.

These elements provide an indication of the type of programme that may return, but they should not be treated as confirmed 2027 participants or activities until officially announced.
