Most Halal restaurants will clearly show their “Halal” sticker. Others will even stick their certification paper on the front door. Lebanese restaurants are often an exception to that
rule. You often must ask them whether they are Halal or not, and do not be surprised if the answer is negative as the Christian Lebanese community is very much present and
economically active in Paris. Other restaurant owners refuse to show their Halal sticker as they believe that it will deter non-Muslim customers. A recent study on the eating habits in France has shown that most French people would not even consider entering a restaurant if it shows a “Halal” sign. But it is an open secret that in France, most street food is Halal and that people eat Halal food without even knowing it. Even some Korean, Japanese, or Vietnamese restaurants serve Halal meat (either beef or chicken) and pork and the same time!
