The story behind BOUBALÉ

The legacy of the creators: Assaf, Dan, Tomer

Boubalé, a word cherished by Ashkenazi grandmothers to mean "my little doll" in Yiddish, is the culinary expression of Michelin-starred chef Assaf Granit, who pays homage to his childhood memories and his family tradition, which continues to be sustained.

Alongside talented chef Assaf, Dan and Tomer draw inspiration from their native cuisine and a mix of cultures, both near and far, to share their intimate and little-known story with you. A true reflection of a family history, this new restaurant in Paris promises a surprising and moving tasting experience.

The concept: a novel between Jerusalem and Paris

In the heart of the Marais, at the new Parisian address of Maisons Pariente, Boubalé invites you to its table. The story begins with flavours from Jerusalem, authentic and little-known. With their talent, their memories and their creativity, chefs Assaf, Dan and Tomer dare to bring refinement and sophistication to Ashkenazi specialities. A daring challenge that immerses you in the soul of Boubalé.
