The Kosher Restaurant List: Paris, Area by Area (2026)

Paris has more kosher restaurants than any other city in Europe — over 200 certified establishments once you count traiteurs, bakeries, and pizza counters. Nobody needs all of them. You need the 25 worth crossing town for, sorted by area, with addresses you can screenshot before the Métro eats your signal.

That's this page. If you want the full story — what to order, which streets to walk, where the community davens — read our Paris kosher food guide. This is the quick-reference list version: short entries, tables, no scenery. Every name below links to its listing in our Paris directory for hours and contact details.

One rule before the list: hours and hashgacha (rabbinic kosher supervision) change constantly in Paris. Where we know the certification, we say so. Where we don't, we write confirm before you go — and we mean it.

The tourist heart of Jewish Paris. Rue des Rosiers is where every visitor ends up, usually in a falafel line at 13:00.

The catch nobody mentions: not every falafel window on Rue des Rosiers is kosher, and the non-kosher ones use the same Hebrew lettering and the same green-awning energy. Read the certificate in the window, not the font. L'As du Fallafel closes Saturdays and draws legendary lunch lines; Chez Hanna at number 54 is the local move when the line at 34 wraps the corner. Rodchenko is the outlier — a trendy fleishig (meat) spot under Rav Rottenberg's mehadrin supervision, the strictest standard on this list. For the full Marais walk-through, our kosher guide to Paris covers this street building by building.

Locals eat here, not in the Marais. The blocks around Ternes, Boulevard Pereire, and Rue Laugier hold the densest run of kosher restaurants in Paris — dressy Italian to late-night kebab inside a ten-minute walk.

NEMESIS runs Tuesday through Sunday, 11:30–22:30 — closed Mondays, like half this arrondissement. It shares 40 Rue Pierre Demours with Bayan 17, so if one has a wait, the other is a doorway away. Nini is the occasion restaurant: reserve, and not the day of. Safrane is that rare thing, kosher Indian in Europe — the menu runs meat and fish, so fleishig-only travelers are covered.

The 19th is where a large slice of observant Paris actually lives, and Rue Manin — facing Buttes-Chaumont park — is its restaurant row. Prices drop, strollers multiply.

Ago and Pizzeria in Paris sit at 159 and 161 Rue Manin — next-door neighbors, both milchig (dairy) — which makes this the easiest street in Paris for anyone traveling with a kid who only eats pizza. One flag: Cantine Libanaise's listed hours run Monday through Saturday. A kosher restaurant open on Shabbos is a contradiction, which usually means the listing is stale. Call first.

Less glamorous, more useful — especially if your apartment rental landed near Nation or Bastille.

Watch the clocks out east. Chez Victor opens at 08:00 but shuts at 15:00 on Fridays — standard Shabbos rhythm, and a trap if you planned a late Friday lunch. Koï's serves Friday lunch only and skips Saturday entirely. Beth Hamidrach Cacherout is exactly what the name suggests: a community lunch canteen, Sunday to Thursday, 12:30–14:30. Two hours. Miss the window, miss the plat du jour. Golden Pizza sits just past the périphérique in Vincennes — close enough to count.

The 9th around the Grands Boulevards and Rue Richer is the old kosher quarter, and a few singles hold down other arrondissements.

Keopi sits inside Passage Verdeau, one of the 19th-century glass-roofed arcades — kosher coffee in a covered passage is a better Paris moment than most €40 attractions, and it runs Tuesday through Sunday. Marceau Café works Sunday to Friday, 10:00–18:30, daytime only. Grilled Cheese Factory splits service, 12:00–15:00 and 19:00–23:00; show up at 17:00 and you'll be staring at a locked door with melted-cheese regret.

More than 200 certified kosher establishments operate across greater Paris — restaurants, traiteurs, pizzerias, bakeries — most under the Beth Din de Paris. That's the largest kosher infrastructure in Europe by a wide margin. Our directory currently lists 38 sit-down restaurants inside the city, and the 25 on this page are the ones we'd send a friend to. Openings and closings happen monthly, so treat any number as a snapshot and confirm before you go.

The 17th, and it isn't close. The blocks around Ternes, Boulevard Pereire, and Rue Laugier pack in everything from upscale Italian at Nini to kebab at NEMESIS — seven entries on this list alone, plus more we left off. The 19th (Rue Manin) is the runner-up for family-priced dairy and casual spots, while the Marais wins on tourist convenience rather than volume. Picking a hotel around food? Pick the 17th.

Some, not all — and never assume. French restaurateurs take real summer vacations, and kosher owners are no exception: expect two-to-four-week closures clustered around mid-August, often announced only on social media. Call or message before crossing the city. Kosher supermarkets generally stay open on reduced hours, so the worst case is assembling a picnic — carry the addresses from this list, and keep a backup neighborhood in mind.
