What glatt kosher actually means
Glatt, from the Yiddish for smooth, describes meat from an animal whose lungs were found free of adhesions. It is a stricter standard than the baseline for kosher meat, and for many diners it is the everyday requirement rather than a stringency.
The Sephardi equivalent, halak Beit Yosef, is stricter still. In common use, calling a restaurant glatt has also come to signal a more careful overall supervision. Every listing below is verified against its certifying agency, and we mark halak separately where it applies.
