Best Halal Burgers in Paris: 6 Spots Checked

The best halal burgers in Paris are at Big Flame in the 14th for smash burgers, The Smoked Meat Bastille in the 11th for a burger topped with 24-hour smoked pastrami, and Black and White Burger at Châtelet when it is past 11 p.m. Safari Burger in the 18th, Junk and two Five Guys branches round out my list. Not one of the six names a certification body on its public pages. So instead of repeating “100% halal” as if it were a certificate, I give each one a halal level.

I’m Thomas, and I cover French burger restaurants for Burger Breton. On November 11, 2026, I checked every address, opening hour and price below against the restaurant’s own site, halal directories and the press. Where I could not confirm something, I say so.

The best halal burgers in Paris at a glance

These six Paris burger restaurants serve halal meat. They are ranked first by how clearly the halal claim can be checked, then by review data and value.

How I ranked these halal burger spots in Paris

Each restaurant gets one of three halal levels, because “halal” on a Paris shopfront can mean very different things. It is the first thing readers ask about, and none of the competing lists I read makes the distinction.

1. Certified by a named body. An organisation such as AVS, the ARGML (Grande Mosquée de Paris) or Achahada certifies the restaurant. None of the six has a certifier confirmed by a primary source, such as a certificate or the restaurant’s own site.
2. Halal declared by the restaurant. The venue says its meat is halal, sometimes “100% certified”, without naming who certifies it.
3. Halal meat in a mixed kitchen. The beef is halal, but pork or alcohol is also on the menu. This is the case at Five Guys.

Within each level, I ranked by review data from directories (mon-resto-halal, Zabihah) and by dated prices from official menus and the press. I dropped any address I could not confirm as open in 2026. That cost one name: Push Smash Burger / Smash It, at 3 rue de l’Avre in the 15th, is listed as permanently closed on mon-resto-halal.

Paris halal burger ratings compared: The Smoked Meat Bastille 4.8/5 (1,897 reviews, mon-resto-halal), Big Flame 4.7/5 (700+ reviews, Paris Gourmand), Black and White Burger Châtelet 4.3/5 (9,607 reviews, mon-resto-halal). Checked November 11, 2026.

How to tell if a Paris burger restaurant is really halal

The only firm proof is a certificate from a named body, either displayed in the restaurant or confirmed by it. According to AVS, the main halal certifiers in France are AVS (A Votre Service), the ARGML (linked to the Grande Mosquée de Paris) and Achahada.

Certification covers the whole kitchen, not just the patty. According to the certifier, a restaurant under contract with AVS serves only meat products certified by AVS. A “100% halal” sign with no certifier tells you what the owner claims, not what an auditor checked. If the certifier matters to you, ask to see the certificate before you order. In my experience staff rarely mind being asked.

A sign like this tells you what the owner claims. Only a certificate from a named body such as AVS or the ARGML proves an audit.

1. Big Flame: the best halal smash burger in Paris

Big Flame, at 47 rue de la Gaîté in the 14th, is my top pick for a halal smash burger in Paris. The whole menu is announced as halal, and it scores 4.7/5 on more than 700 reviews, according to Paris Gourmand.

What tipped it for me is that Big Flame is the only halal address in Paris Gourmand’s 2026 ranking of the city’s 10 best burger restaurants, updated in August 2026. It competes with the whole Paris field, not just the halal one. Expect to pay €10 to €20.

• Address: 47 rue de la Gaîté, 75014 Paris (Métro Gaîté)
• Hours: every day, noon to midnight
• Price: €10–20
• Halal level: whole menu declared halal by the venue, no certifier named

I could not confirm a signature burger or individual prices, so I won’t name one. If you are anywhere near Montparnasse, start here.

2. The Smoked Meat Bastille: halal pastrami burger in the 11th

The Smoked Meat Bastille, at 17 rue Sedaine in the 11th, makes the most distinctive halal burger on this list: a burger topped with pastrami smoked for 24 hours. It scores 4.8/5 on 1,897 reviews on mon-resto-halal and serves no alcohol.

Its halal status needs a footnote. Mon-resto-halal records “Halal certified by owner: No”: the meat is declared halal, but no certification body is named. There is a second branch at Convention, in the 15th, but I could not verify its exact address. Nor could I confirm the price of the pastrami burger, which is why it is missing from the table.

• Address: 17 rue Sedaine, 75011 Paris
• Phone: 09 79 28 33 69
• Alcohol: none
• Halal level: declared halal by the venue, no certifier

3. Black and White Burger Châtelet: the late-night halal option

Black and White Burger at Châtelet is the late-night halal burger in central Paris. It stays open until midnight from Sunday to Thursday and until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, with no alcohol on the menu.

YouTubers IbraTV and Djam founded the chain in Paris in 2018, and it started franchising in 2019. By May 2026 it had 44 restaurants (35 in France, 9 in Belgium) and €45 million in annual sales, about €1 million per restaurant. Its target was 50 restaurants in 2026, according to L’Express Franchise. Its rating is the lowest of my top three, but it has by far the most reviews.

• Hours: Sunday to Thursday 11:30 a.m. to midnight, Friday and Saturday until 1 a.m.

Is Black and White Burger certified halal?

Black and White Burger calls its burgers “100% certified halal” but does not name the certification body on its public pages. The smash burger price varies by restaurant and shows up when you order on commande.bnwburger.com. I could not confirm the 2026 Paris price, so check it in the app before you go.

4. Safari Burger: African-inspired halal burgers in the 18th

Safari Burger, at 52 rue Boinod in the 18th, has the only fully confirmed burger price on this list: its signature Le Babi costs €10.90, according to the restaurant’s website.

Le Babi is the build I most want to try. It stacks a beef patty with green sauce, lettuce, alloco (fried plantain), tomatoes, red onions and cheddar. In a halal scene dominated by smash burgers that all look alike on Instagram, the plantain is a real point of difference.

Alloco, fried plantain from Côte d’Ivoire, served with sausages in Abidjan. This is the plantain that tops Safari Burger’s €10.90 Le Babi halal burger in Paris’s 18th.

• Address: 52 rue Boinod, 75018 Paris
• Hours: Monday to Friday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight, Saturday 6 p.m. to midnight, closed Sunday
• Signature: Le Babi, €10.90
• Halal level: declared halal by the venue, no certifier

5. Junk: halal smash burgers, with a caveat

Junk is widely described as a halal smash burger chain, but its own website does not say so, which is why it ranks this low. Majed Mansour and Wissem Ben Ammar founded Junk in 2021. By November 2025 it had 17 restaurants in France plus addresses in London and Dubai, according to Hyphen, which calls it halal.

No certifier is named anywhere. The branch I list is Junk Saint-Maur, at 120 rue Saint-Maur in the 11th. For the full menu, prices and every Paris branch, read our guide to Junk smash burgers in Paris: menu, prices and addresses.

6. Five Guys Paris: halal beef, but not a halal restaurant

Five Guys has served halal beef in France since mid-October 2025, but its restaurants are not certified halal. Pork bacon stays on the menu, cooked on a separate grill, and alcohol is still served. According to L’Express Franchise, only the beef suppliers are certified, and no third-party body such as AVS or the ARGML checks the restaurants. If you keep strict halal, this is the one I would skip.

In Paris, two branches serve halal beef, according to the list Five Guys updated on June 23, 2026:

• Five Guys Paris Haussmann: 2 boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris
• Five Guys Paris Place de Clichy: 81 boulevard de Clichy, 75009 Paris

According to Kolsquare, the rollout covered 12 French cities in three waves and was backed by 20 influencers and more than a million impressions. Sales rose 15% in Toulouse and 30% in Cannes. The list can change, so check fiveguys.fr before you go.

Halal burgers in the 11th arrondissement

The 11th has more halal burger options than any other arrondissement on this list, most of them between Bastille and Oberkampf. The two I can recommend with sourced halal information are The Smoked Meat Bastille (17 rue Sedaine) and Junk Saint-Maur (120 rue Saint-Maur).

Two other Oberkampf addresses come up in searches. I left both out:

• Binks Smash Burger, 88 rue Oberkampf: mon-resto-halal says Binks has not yet received any halal certification.
• Bill’s Burger, 126 rue Oberkampf: listed as halal on Zabihah, but I found no second source to back it up.

I also left out Rosaparks, at 46 rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud. Zabihah says AVS certifies some of its options, but the same listing now flags it as “not currently featured”, and I could not confirm that it is open in 2026.

Halal food in Paris: why burgers lead the way

Burgers are among the most visible halal food in Paris because French fast food went halal early. Quick introduced halal menus in 2009 (see our Quick brand profile). According to an estimate quoted by Hyphen, the French halal market may be worth up to €12 billion after growing by a third since 2010.
