Legacy of flavor:
146 years of Bohsali Family's mastery in Lebanese and oriental pastry craftsmanship.
The rich tradition of Arabic pastry making has played a vital role in shaping the tapestry of Lebanese history, with Beirut standing as a beacon of excellence in this craft.
Celebrating 146 years of heritage, this family business seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. While embracing the latest technology, the essence of old-world, artistic and handmade methods remains pivotal in shaping their offerings.
Beyond borders, “Amal Bohsali” offers a worldwide door-to-door service through special couriers, ensuring that the authentic taste reaches clients around the globe.
At the forefront of this age-old tradition stands the Bohsali family, as pioneers in the industry. In 1878, Salim Bohsali laid the foundation by opening the first outlet in Union Square-Beirut, later known as Martyrs Square. The legacy continued as his son, Saadeddine, assumed the reins in 1903, evolving the business into “Saadeddine Bohsali and Sons.” In 1939, the torch passed to Salim, succeeded by his son Ghazi in 1947, who bravely took charge at the tender age of thirteen.
From 1948 to 1975, Ghazi Bohsali faithfully carried forward the family tradition, fostering prosperity at the Martyrs’ Square branch. In 1975, Amal Bohsali, Ghazi’s wife, added a new chapter by opening the “Amal Bohsali” pastry shop in Hamra. Further expansion marked the journey, with a branch at Jal el Dib highway in 1993, followed by others in Ras-Beirut (1998), Chiah (2016), and Tyre (2017).
This enterprise remains a true family affair, with Ghazi Bohsali joined by his wife Amal and their sons Salim and Mazen. Continual innovation is a hallmark, with new additions to Lebanese pastries introduced regularly, always prioritizing quality and excellence. Since 1975, “Amal Bohsali” shops have earned the prestigious “****A” distinction from the Ministry of Tourism, solidifying their leadership in the industry
