78 Places to Eat in the 9th Arrondissement, from SoPi to Opéra
The 9th arrondissement has two faces. Down south, around the Opéra Garnier and the department stores, lunch means shoppers queuing for overpriced salads. Up north, in SoPi (South Pigalle) and on the slopes toward Montmartre, it's one of the most exciting neighborhoods in Paris to eat: soba counters, dim sum, bakeries, cheese bars and cocktail dens, most of them fairly priced.
Here are 78 places in the 9th arrondissement, chosen from the guides locals trust. Short on time? Jump to the restaurants in the 9th or its quick bites.

Restaurants in the 9th arrondissement, from the Opéra up to Pigalle
The 9th rewards walkers. Start near the Opéra, climb rue du Faubourg-Montmartre, and by the time you reach Pigalle you've passed half this list. It's also one of the best-balanced arrondissements for budget: cheap and mid-priced spots outnumber the expensive ones. Filter by price, or open the map to plan the climb. Shopping near the Opéra anyway? Galeries Lafayette Gourmet is on the list too.
