My favorite list of Kosher Restaurants in Paris

Note for the Restaurants Managers : This is my personal opinion of your restaurant. I don’t accept sponsorships as I do this to help my visitors for them to get the best option and not the most “sponsored one”. Thank you. Flora.G.

• Rodchenko ( my favorite one) 

French style, Kosher restaurant in the beautiful street of Rue des Ecouffes. Very tasty food.

• Kavod ( Never tried myself, but I hear it is very good ) 

French style, Kosher restaurant, a bit more expensive than the others. Prestigious and fancy.

• Pitzman ( Glatt Kosher , Vegetarian, but with fish …  )

This is a Pitzman Family owned restaurant, the style is a bit everything french casual with pizza with tuna, pasta, grattins, falafel, crepes , soups , fish of the day

Address :  8, rue Pavée  75004 Paris

0142711717

• L’As du Fallafel ( Overrated on tripadvisor, so there will be a long line in front )

If you go to As de Falafel, and wait in line, some of the boys will ask you to pay in advance to make the line quicker but actually it is a trick to make you stay in line and not change your mind.

In my opinion, I would never wait for one hour for this falafel even though trip advisor says the best about it.

Address :  32-34, rue des Rosiers   75004 Paris

I tried this restaurant many time with my family. you can also pre-order for shabbat with this little tunisian restaurant.

Address : 11 Bis Rue Geoffroy-Marie, Paris, France

 My top pick of the kosher bakeries in Paris

• Korcarz ( This boutique is included in our Jewish walking tour in le Marais Paris ) 

Great service, large service of pastries, sandwiches, quiches, bagels and great coffee place.

They offer both sephardic and ashkenazi pastries !

Address : 29, rue des Rosiers   75004 Paris

• Murciano ( I take it for breakfast as it is in front of my office in Rue des rosiers, but there is no place to sit )

This is a bakery that you can not miss in Rue des Rosiers. The most beautiful Jewish bakery in my opinion as the owners, originally from Morocco, kept the french ornaments inside, like the in the 19th century.

Address : 18, rue des Rosiers   75004 Paris

 The restaurants in Paris with Jewish Style Food , but Not Kosher

In 2018, Paris is having a lot of new jewish style and Israeli restaurants opening. this new trend is a good image of tolerance for Paris mix of communities, but most of all : their food is so good , that Parisian Jewish Restaurant are so booked and filled of people ! let me give my favorite ones that I tried myself :

• Miznon : My favorite spot for a quick bite 

And what about a modern style falafel? This new place opened by an Israeli chef from Tel Aviv is the new hop spot in the Marais. The concept is a miznon (a “buffet”in French) of stuffed pitas, in the French style. Choose between a pita with steak and egg, ratatouille or the famous boeuf bourguignon! what not to love !

Attention points : this restaurant is always full and loud , full of joy !

Address : 22 rue des Ecouffes, 75004

• Maison David by Michel Kaliffa, this is not restaurant, but a caterer who enjoys looong conversations with his clients 🙂 

This is passionate butcher shop, not Kosher but very delicious !

In this amazing delicatessen, you will discover incredible Ashkenazim charcuterie, no kosher, but without pork.  Michel Kaliffa makes there the best pastrami, veal, beef, turkey breast, Israel foie gras, chicken liver, and all the best charcuterie you will ever have!

Attention points : this exquisite jewish charcuterie made with passion is not always affordable

6, rue des Ecouffes  75004

0142781576

• Balagan : yes, the name is funny, and still, the restaurant is fancy and stylish, and you need to book 01 40 20 72 14 , so no Balaghan after all

To be honest, I did not go there yet , but everyone is booking ! the food must be good

Address: 9 Rue d’Alger, 75001 Paris

• Florence Kahn : I buy their “Croquants” every shabbat !

All my friends including me, love this little family bakery where you can enjoy their tasty Pastrami Sandwich !

a lot of locals come on Sunday to buy the Pastrami Sandwich, along with some Ashkenazi desert and a drink to enjoy on the terrace.

I always buy the croquants : sort of Tunisian biscuits that you can eat in the morning with your coffee. They very very delicious and I am addicted to it.

 24 Rue des Ecouffes, 75004 Paris

• Tavline , is a new Jewish Restaurant, the cuisine is Moroccan Israeli, delicious, Not Kosher

I tried this restaurant with my mother Léontine and I must say : best hummus in Paris ! We also tried the shakshouka and the Fish balls and , of course, all the starters , like in Israel : eggplant, hummus, roasted Cauliflower … miam miam !

25 Rue du Roi de Sicile, 75004 Paris

• Restaurant Goldenberg, closed

Address :  7 rue des Rosiers  75004 Paris

I picked a list of my favorite Top 5 Jewish Sites in Paris that you must see

 N°1 Museum : Museum of Jewish Art and History

This museum is housed in a 17th century private mansion, and it displays a lot of documents, pictures and art related to the life and history of the Jews in Europe and France through the centuries.

Must see Synagogue : Agoudas Hakehilos Synagogue in Rue Pavée

This beautiful synagogue, registered as one of the historical monument in Paris, was built by the famous French architect Hector Guimard, who has built the metro entrances in Paris.

Most Beautiful Kosher Bakery : Murciano in Rue des Rosiers

This old fashioned pretty  and family owned bakery called Murciano is my favorite one. French pastries, eastern Europe pastries, north African/ Sephardic specialties : they have the best selection to make you travel by mouth and the most beautiful French interior decoration !

Bookstore/Art Gallery in Rue des Rosiers

The bookstore of the Temple ( 52, Rue des Rosiers, Librairie du Temple )  is also an Art Gallery, as well as a shop with some Jewish Artefacts : perfect for some souvenir of the Jewish quarter of Paris.

Monument : Shoal Memorial Monument Wall in Allée des Justes

The wall of the names at the Holocaust Memorial was inaugurated in 2005. This amazing monument is very moving, but it is also one of the best ways to remember the 76 000 Jews deported from France during WWII.
