The capital welcomes a new street food treasure: Holy Burek Paris imports Balkan expertise to introduce authentic burek, a crispy specialty made with filo pastry filled with delicious ingredients.
A new street food gem not to be missed
Located at 66 Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, Holy Burek Paris is the little sister of a veritable institution in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Suffice to say that technique and authenticity are the order of the day when it comes to delivering the famous burek. For lovers of crispy filo pastry and authentic flavors, this new brand promises a journey and a treat for the taste buds.
The real show takes place before the eyes of curious onlookers, on what the team calls the “magic table.” This is where the artisans stretch the dough by hand with impressive dexterity. The movement is precise, repeated until the dough becomes so thin that it is almost transparent. This ancestral technique is the key to a pastry that is both light and incredibly crispy after baking.
Once the dough is ready, it is generously filled with savory ingredients such as spinach, veal, or chicken. Special mention must be made of the creamy, melt-in-the-mouth cheese burek and the potato burek, a comforting and tasty version of the dish. Each bite is an explosion of textures, from the crunchiness of the golden pastry to the melt-in-the-mouth filling.
For the full experience, burek is traditionally enjoyed with a cold drink or yogurt drink. It’s a simple, satisfying street food gem that will definitely keep you coming back for more. While you’re in the 10th arrondissement, you could also take the opportunity to explore the nearby covered passages or take a stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin.
Holy Burek Paris is not just a place to eat, it’s an invitation to discover a slice of Balkan culinary culture. With its artisanal expertise on display and high-quality products, it’s the perfect spot for a quick lunch!
