A pleasant arrondissement with a thousand faces, the 9th district is bursting with good places to eat! Nestled at the foot of Montmartre and adjacent to the Grands Boulevards, it includes the Musée de la Vie Romantique, the pleasant Rue des Martyrs and the astonishing Musée Gustave Moreau. For a stroll or a cultural outing, there’s nothing like a trip to the 9th arrondissement… But gourmets will find just as much to enjoy in this area in the heart of Paris. Here are the best restaurants.
Colère
Building on the success of Orgueil in the 11th arrondissement, Eloi Spinnler has just unveiled his second project, Colère. In a setting as elegant as it is welcoming, you’ll be able to savor spicy French cuisine through the chef’s “softly and healthily angry interpretation of the cuisine”. A brand-new address that’s already sold out. A must-try!
📍Colère – 39, rue Richer, 75009
Boletus
📍Boletus, B 10 rue Saulnier, 75009 Paris
Dame
At the start of the 2024 school year, the residents of rue Condorcet had plenty to celebrate with the inauguration of Dame, a restaurant led in the kitchen by chef Matthieu Charriaud. On the menu: tasty sharing dishes, good music and an atmosphere straight out of the seventies. An unusual address at the foot of the Butte Montmartre.
📍Dame – 38, rue Condorcet, 75009
Villa Mikuna
A sultry past, a tempting menu and an incredible setting: these are the ingredients that make up Villa Mikuna. The fruit of a surprising and refreshing blend of cultures, with a strong Japanese influence, Peruvian cuisine is one of the finest and fruitiest in the world. A rarity in Paris, it finally has one of its finest ambassadors in the person of Villa Mikuna, a restaurant recently set up in a former brothel on Rue Frochot.

Dumbo
Dumbo’ s arrival on the Parisian dining scene in 2019 was a bit of a bombshell. And with good reason, the Pigalle eatery is the instigator of the smash burger craze. It couldn’t be simpler: the menu offers two variations of the smashed cheeseburger and fries, at very affordable prices. What more could you ask for than a little counter space?
📍Dumbo – 64, rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, 75009
Neko Ramen
Moving away from rue Sainte-Anne, we’re off to discover a newcomer to the game of Paris’s finest ramen. “Neko”, or cat in Japanese, has carved out a place for itself in a cuisine that’s already well established in Paris. How does one become an institution of Japanese broth? By being passionate about Japan, of course. Sedrik Allani, Neko Ramen‘s chef, went to Tokyo to learn Japanese cuisine. And he graduated from the best ramen school in Japan (and the world), no less. Surely the most authentic ramen outside Japan!

Bao and dim sum are served in blue porcelain, and the menu includes cocktails inspired by Chinese provinces.
