The 9th arrondissement is establishing itself as a new culinary playground. Here are the addresses you need to know before anyone else.
La Cantine de Sam: bistronomy without the fuss
In a discreet little street, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, La Cantine de Sam is one of those restaurants that is passed on by word of mouth. This small, warm and intimate haven of peace offers vegetarian and vegan cuisine inspired by its founder’s Levantine roots.
Here, ingredients are meticulously selected for their nutritional benefits. Each dish is designed to provide vitality, balance and indulgence. You’ll find classic Middle Eastern dishes revisited with creativity. Chakchouka, falafels, labneh, grilled halloumi, melting eggplant and vegetarian keftas. Healthy bowls, made with ultra-fresh vegetables, whole grains and homemade seasonings, are also a must.

Bagnard: Mediterranean street food designed like a chef’s dish
On the second floor of Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet, chef Yoni Saada, known for his modern interpretation of Mediterranean dishes, offers an authentic and convivial experience. His signature? Reinventing classics like pan-bagnat with shawarma-style grilled chicken, or tuna tartare with harissa and truffle.

Mosugo by Mory Sacko: Africa, Japan and Paris on a single plate
In a minimalist setting at Galeries Lafayette, Mory Sacko delivers a cuisine that’s crossbred, precise and unadorned. Yassa chicken, miso, sweet potato: each bite tells the story of an encounter. The service is fluid, without coldness. The experience is short but memorable. It’s easy to see why critics have been following this chef since his debut.

Onyx: the confidential restaurant for Parisian foodies
Tucked away on rue de Trévise, Onyx keeps a low profile. But those in the know book early. The chef works with ultra-fresh, local produce, in an ambitious neo-bistro vein. The atmosphere is subdued, almost intimate. The dishes are graphic, but never pretentious. A true table d’auteur. And a real favorite with lovers of sensitive cuisine.
ONYX, 71 Rue de Provence, 75009 Paris
Gargouille: star vegetables and plant-based recipes
At Gargouille, vegetables lead the way. Each dish sublimates a seasonal product. No meat, but no frustration. The chef plays with textures, cooking and fermentation. You’ll discover unexpected combinations. The place attracts a curious clientele, often young, often committed. A vegetal but gourmet address, far from clichés.
Gargouille, 7 Rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, 75009 Paris
Anger: between raw cellar and controlled fire
Colère lives up to its name. Fire reigns here: grilling, roasting, smoked dishes. The wine cellar offers a range of sensational natural wines. The atmosphere is raw, a little punk, very lively. Plates are shared at the table or counter. Everything is fast-paced and lively. A table with character that doesn’t try to please everyone. And that’s just as well.
Colère, 39 Rue Richer, 75009 Paris
