Boubalé: a unique restaurant in the heart of the Marais

A new Parisian restaurant has opened its doors in Le Grand Mazarin hotel, the urban jewel in the Maisons Pariente collection. With an intimate atmosphere in the heart of a district full of Parisian bistros, the restaurant has created its own world, with culinary creations based on traditional Levantine cuisine. More than just a restaurant in the Marais, Boubalé is above all a unique and unusual place, dedicated to the pleasure of coming together.

The essence of the Boubalé restaurant: the love of a grandmother

The story behind the name of this unique Marais restaurant

Cuisine never comes from nowhere. Boubalé, which takes its name from a tender expression meaning “my little darling, my little doll” in Yiddish, reveals the Slavic culinary heritage by paying a warm tribute to the grandmothers of Eastern Europe.

Inspired by culinary traditions maintained since the beginning of time Boubalé revisits a cuisine of flavours that are little known in Paris. At the heart of this new restaurant in the Marais district, generosity and a taste for sharing are the core values.

A vibrant and creative district: the inspiration behind the Boubalé restaurant in the Marais

A prime location: Le Marais, a district steeped in history

A historic district of Paris, the Marais was, generations ago, a refuge for many Eastern European migrants, which is of very special significance for Boubalé. In the heart of these cobbled streets, our new restaurant is rooted in this mythical Paris. It is as if Boubalé had always been there.

In a setting where art and gastronomy merge, this new restaurant in the Marais district of Paris reveals itself as an unexpected and endearing place to discover. A true gateway to an authentic art of living.
