Kosher Michelin Star Restaurants

Updated October 7, 2026 · Star counts and prices checked October 2026

Only one kosher restaurant holds a Michelin star: Mutra in North Miami, which won it in May 2026 and is supervised by Kosher Miami. The MICHELIN Guide lists 298 starred restaurants with “Kosher options”, Mutra included, but at the others that means dishes on request, not a kosher kitchen.

Until this year, anyone looking for Michelin star kosher restaurants found none at all. A Michelin star and a kashrut certificate had simply never hung on the same wall. Here is the one restaurant that has both, what the guide’s “Kosher options” tag does and doesn’t promise, and the cities where you have the most restaurants to ask: Paris (25) and New York (16).

Mutra: the first kosher restaurant with a Michelin star

Chef Raz Shabtai opened Mutra in North Miami in February 2025 and named it after his Jerusalem-born grandmother. On May 28, 2026, the MICHELIN Guide gave it one star and called it the world’s first kosher restaurant to earn one. Shabtai calls his cooking Jerusalem cuisine; the inspectors singled out beets with ajo blanco and beetroot sorbet, and a lamb kebab with smoked eggplant cream.

Mutra is a meat restaurant, so there is no dairy in the kitchen. It is on the register of Kosher Miami, the Vaad Hakashrus of Miami-Dade, which lists it as a meat establishment with pas Yisroel bread throughout. Dinner is à la carte, with dishes from about $47 to $83; its row on our Miami restaurant prices page has the latest figures. Supervision can change, so check the register before you go.

The nearest thing before Mutra was Xerta in Barcelona. In 2022 the one-star restaurant began cooking kosher meals in a separate kitchen, on request and under a Chabad rabbi’s supervision, JTA reported. Its everyday kitchen was not kosher, and it lost its star in November 2024.

What “Kosher options” means in the MICHELIN Guide

The guide’s restaurant pages and search filters list special diets: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher. Michelin’s own label is “Kosher options”, and it records what each restaurant tells the guide it can offer. 298 of the world’s 3,882 starred restaurants carry it, about 8%, including Le Bernardin and Per Se in New York, both of which serve shellfish.

So the tag is a promise to try, not a kosher kitchen. Depending on the restaurant, it can mean a meal brought in sealed from a certified kosher caterer, or dishes cooked without pork, shellfish or mixing meat and dairy. Neither is the same as supervision.

Certification is different. A kashrut agency (in the US the OU, OK, Star-K or a city’s own Vaad; in Paris the Beth Din de Paris; in London KLBD or the Sephardi Kashrut Authority) checks where every ingredient comes from, keeps meat and dairy apart and puts a supervisor, a mashgiach, in the kitchen. Each agency publishes a list of the places it certifies, and that list is the proof to trust.

Where to find starred restaurants with kosher options

Restaurants with the tag are spread across 186 towns and cities in 34 countries. Paris has the most, 25, among them the three-star Le Gabriel and Plénitude. In the United States 48 starred restaurants carry it, led by New York with 16 and Washington DC with 6.

How to ask for a kosher meal at a starred restaurant

1. Ask before you book, not at the table. Find out what “kosher options” means there: a sealed meal from a certified caterer, or dishes from the regular kitchen.
2. Ask who supervises it. If a caterer is involved, ask which agency certifies it, and check that agency’s list.
3. Give plenty of notice. Ordering in a certified meal takes time, so a week ahead is safest, and more for Friday night.
4. Ask about the bill. A caterer’s meal may be charged on top of the tasting menu, or instead of it.
