Eating kosher in the 8th, from Mermoz to Saint-Honoré

The 8th has a reputation: expensive, chic and hardly designed for someone seeking a kosher lunch between appointments. The Keila catalogue adds some nuance. As of 5 October 2026, to our knowledge, 5 restaurants in the 8th have documented kosher certification, and a sixth is mentioned in a kosher directory, awaiting confirmation. Few addresses, but among Paris’s best documented: five of six are named by the official Beth Din de Paris directory, and all six have a readable menu in the app. The updated list is on kosher restaurants in the 8th with evidence.

This guide is a catalogue snapshot from 5 October, including directories. The 8th’s page keeps only listings with evidence and changes with every check: that is the reference.

Kavod Bassari and Kavod Halavi: a lesson in two addresses

If someone asks the difference between Bassari and Halavi, send them to rue Jean Mermoz. Kashrut separates meat and dairy, and a kosher restaurant generally chooses one side. Kavod has done both at two separate addresses: Kavod Bassari at 26, listed as French bistronomy, on the meat side; Kavod Halavi at 19, listed as Italian and dairy cuisine, on the dairy side. The official Beth Din de Paris directory names both, each at its address, one as a meat restaurant and the other as a dairy restaurant.

The third word, Pareve, means neither meat nor dairy (fish, vegetables, eggs). In the app, these three words are filters. Each piece of information retains its nature: what the supervision body says on one side, what the restaurant writes on its own website on the other, each with its source and date.

Three more documented certifications

Chlew Saint-Honoré, deli and sandwiches at 105 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and L’Aile ou la cuisse 8e, grill food at 36 rue Jean Mermoz, are classified as meat. MIAM, French cuisine at 72 boulevard Malesherbes, is classified as dairy. In late September, we wrote that neither the directory nor MIAM’s declaration specified its category: now the Beth Din directory does, and the listing appears when you filter Halavi.

For all five, on 2 October 2026 Keila checked that the establishment appeared at its exact address in the official live Beth Din de Paris directory, with coverage for the whole establishment. The source publishes neither a teouda copy, an individual reference nor validity dates. Evidence is checked regularly, and evidence marked suspended no longer counts as a yes in the app. In late September, Chlew Saint-Honoré’s evidence was awaiting a new check under the review rule then in use; it has since been checked again.

Identified in directories

Le XXV Saint-Honoré, at 225 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, is indicated as dairy by kosher directories, with Japanese and French cuisine and Rav Katz as the stated supervisor. No documented certification on its Keila record to date: the record says “identified in directories”, awaiting confirmation. One fewer address than late September in this category: Mitbah, rue de Turin, is no longer published in the catalogue.

Two streets to remember

Rue Jean Mermoz has three of the six addresses (Kavod Halavi at 19, Kavod Bassari at 26, L’Aile ou la cuisse 8e at 36), and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré has two (Chlew Saint-Honoré and Le XXV Saint-Honoré). MIAM is on boulevard Malesherbes, farther north. For lunch near the Champs-Élysées or Saint-Lazare, the app map’s “near me” mode will help you decide.

How to read this list

Documented certification: Keila found the establishment named at this address by a supervision body in a dated public source, and the listing displays that source and its check date. Declaration: the restaurant itself says it is kosher, on its website or menu; useful information, but not certification. Identified in directories: the address appears in one or more kosher directories, and the record says “to confirm”, because these indications are not verified certification. If your requirements are strict, open the listing, check its source and date, and call before travelling.

Next door, the 9th also has three addresses named by the Beth Din, including Douieb, and the 17th to the north has 23 with documented certification. If you want a plant-based salad rather than meat, our vegan and vegetarian list also visits the 8th. The overview is in where to eat kosher in Paris by district, all listings in the restaurant index, and filters in the Keila app, coming soon to the App Store.
