Mabrouk
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.

Lotte
Part of the Machneyuda group, Lotte, is located in the Galei Kinneret Hotel, considered to be an institution of culture and resilience. The story of the restaurant’s namesake Lotte Eisenberg begins when Lotte came to Israel in 1947 and established the Galei Kinneret Hotel. Through war and several assasinnation attempts Lotte managed to keep her business above water and has hosted a range of historical figures, celebrities, writers, heads of state, and various dignitaries. Today the restaurant that bears her name has made a commitment to the same level of excellence that Lotte Eisenberg pursued with a menu that pays homage to her memory and love of Gallilean food culture like Knerret sardines served with Turkish salad and lemon aeoli.
Ima
Miryam Binyamin established one of Jerusalem’s most beloved kitchens, Ima, in 1981 and has been feeding generations of sabras, olim, and tourists ever since. There is a saying in Israel that everything that comes out of mom’s kitchen is delicious, and sometimes there is nothing better or more needed than touching base with some good ole fashioned Israeli comfort food. The sort of comfort food that comes out of Miryam’s iconic kitchen is more specifically Sephardi comfort food and it does not dissappoint.
