Mabrouk
Alexandre David and Alexis Memmi dreamed of opening a restaurant filled with their grandparent’s Tunisian food since their were children. They wanted to bring that style food back to Paris.
In 2019, Mabrouk was opened near Le Marais, an historic area of Jewish Paris, and serves Sephardic dishes with a modern French twist. The restaurant has received high reviews for their North African cuisine.
North African cuisine has become a trend in Paris, but this restaurant is unique due to its Kosher-style twist.
They serve pkaila (a Tunisian cholent) and a dish called the AbitBowl (a poke-style bowl which combines spicy meatballs, sesame cream, and caramelized onions).
While the restaurant has a French twist, serving a dairy free sabayon, they have remained true to their grandmother’s flavorful style of cooking. They even named a dish inspired and named for their grandmother: Boutargue Memmi (made of salted and cured fish roe).
The environment Alexandre David and Alexis Memmi created is one where everyone can call home. While the restaurant is kosher-style, the meat is both certified kosher and halal to accommodate to all customers who appreciate the Tunisian food.
