Eating kosher in the 9th: a neighbourhood guide

For many people, the 9th is a lunchtime question: what is kosher near the office? As of 5 October 2026, to our knowledge, only 3 restaurants in the 9th have documented kosher certification. Four other addresses appear in kosher directories, pending confirmation, including one special case explained below. That is not many, and we will not inflate the figure by slipping plant-based salads into the list. Three solid addresses are worth more than eighteen approximate ones. The updated list is on kosher restaurants in the 9th with supporting evidence.

This guide is a snapshot of the catalogue on 5 October, including directory entries. The 9th arrondissement page retains only listings with evidence and changes with each check: it is the reference.

Douieb: what solid evidence looks like

Douieb, serving Tunisian food at 11 bis rue Geoffroy-Marie, ticks several independent boxes, which makes it worth a closer look.

• Documented certification: the official live Beth Din de Paris directory names the establishment at this address as a bassari restaurant, covering the whole establishment. Keila checked it on 2 October 2026; the source publishes no copy of a teouda, individual reference or validity dates.
• A declaration: the restaurant states on its own website that it is kosher. Keila recorded this on 7 September 2026; like any declaration, it needs checking again.
• Directories: Douieb appears in several kosher directories, which list it as meat.

Several sources saying the same thing is the best case. One caveat, though: in late September, the certification was awaiting another check, and the app no longer counted it as a yes. That check was completed on 2 October. The listing is the reference.

Halavi: two documented dairy restaurants, one more in a directory

New in the update: Il Palazzo (Italian food and pizza, rue Lafayette) and Rosetta 9e (Italian, rue Geoffroy-Marie, a few numbers from Douieb) are also named in the Beth Din de Paris directory, classified as “halavi restaurants”, checked on 2 October 2026. Same source, same limits. Bograshov, on rue de Maubeuge, serving Israeli food, is listed as dairy in directories, without certification documented on its listing to date: “found in directories”, to be confirmed.

Bassari and unspecified type

For meat, apart from Douieb: La Frairie 9e, on faubourg Poissonnière, serving Israeli and French food and sandwiches, found in several kosher directories. For Chez Guy (Middle Eastern food, rue Richer), no type is indicated. In Keila, unknown information is never treated as a yes: this listing does not appear when you filter by bassari or halavi.

The 42 Degrés case

42 Degrés, at 109 rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, declares plant-based and raw food. Its data also carries a kosher mention attributed to a directory, which places it among the 4 addresses requiring confirmation. The problem: the sources listed for this entry are its official website and a booking site, not a kosher directory. The discrepancy has been reported to the catalogue team and was still present on 5 October. Meanwhile, do not treat this as a kosher address: it is a plant-based address, declared as such, and that is all we can assert.

While we are on the subject: cooking without animal products does not answer the kashrut question. Supervision, ingredients and the kitchen itself fall under a supervising organisation, not a meat-free menu.

Where to look in the 9th

The addresses do not form a single district. Two are on rue Geoffroy-Marie (Douieb, Rosetta 9e), two on faubourg Poissonnière (La Frairie 9e, 42 Degrés), and the others on rue Lafayette, rue Richer and rue de Maubeuge. In the catalogue, the 9th is more of an arrondissement you pass through: if you want choice, the 17th and 19th have far more: 23 and 11 certified addresses, compared with 3 here. Good news for lunch: all seven addresses have a menu readable in the app, so you know what to expect before leaving the office.

How to read this list

Documented certification: Keila found the establishment named at this address by a supervising organisation in a dated public source, and the listing displays that source and its check date. Declaration: the restaurant itself describes itself as kosher, on its website or menu; useful information, but not a certification. Found in directories: the address appears in one or more kosher directories, and the listing says so with “to be confirmed”, because those indications are not verified certification. If your requirements are strict, open the listing, check the source and date, and call before travelling.

Next door, the 8th has 5 certified addresses, including two Kavod restaurants, one bassari and one halavi, which explain the difference better than we do. The overview is in where to eat kosher in Paris by arrondissement, all listings are in the restaurant index, and filters are in the Keila app, coming soon to the App Store.

Do you run a kosher restaurant in the 9th that is missing from this list, or listed as “to be confirmed”? Let’s talk.
