History

A Journey of Meaningful Gastronomy

Born on Rue du Vertbois in Paris’s 3rd arrondissement, Guefen first emerged as a discreet yet daring destination — a place where curiosity met precision, and where every plate told a story.

From the very beginning, our vision has remained constant: to create a cuisine that speaks to both the senses and the spirit.

Now located on Rue de Charenton, in the 12th arrondissement, Guefen continues its journey with the same soul and ambition — to bring meaning back to the act of dining.

Refined Kosher Cuisine, Rooted in Integrity

Since October 2023, Guefen has been offering a menu exclusively crafted from 100% kosher and halav Israel products.

While we do not hold an official certification, we work exclusively with trusted suppliers who guarantee the quality and origin of every ingredient.

This commitment is not a limitation — it is a creative path.

It challenges us to rethink taste through respect, precision, and inspiration.

Every element, from sourcing to presentation, reflects our desire to serve a cuisine that is elegant, thoughtful, and deeply coherent.

A Home, Not Just a Restaurant

Our space on Rue de Charenton reflects our philosophy: warm, luminous, and contemporary.

Every detail has been designed to create a sense of calm and authenticity.

At Guefen, hospitality is not a formality — it’s a way of being.

This is not just a restaurant, but a home where we share more than food: we share emotion.

A New Chapter with Chef Yonatan Mary

In September 2025, Guefen opens a new chapter with Chef Yonatan Mary.

Trained in renowned kitchens, he brings creative energy and sensitivity to the art of modern kosher cuisine.

“Cooking kosher isn’t a constraint,” he says.

“It’s a new language — one that invites creativity, honesty, and emotion.”

Under his direction, the menu will explore a dialogue of flavors — from the Levant to the Mediterranean — always with the instinct, refinement, and freedom that define Guefen.

Guefen Today

Guefen is more than a restaurant — it is a living space, a philosophy, and a reflection of purpose.

We believe that gastronomy can be beautiful, ethical, and full of meaning.

Every dish tells a story, every service is a connection, and every meal is an experience to be shared.
