La Rose de Tunis: how pastry-making traditions spread from North Africa to Paris.

It all began as a small shop in Paris’s 18th arrondissement. Thirty-five years later, La Rose de Tunis remains a family-run business that has been preserving the flavors of North African and West Asian pastries for over 2 generations.

From zlabia to makroud, from kalb el louz to baklava, these recipes embody generations of history, identity, and artisanal mastery. Amine, now the owner of La Rose de Tunis, told  ⁨@streetpress⁩  how he carried on the family legacy to preserve the Tunisian pastry tradition in the heart of Paris.
