Lebanese Restaurant in Paris Keeps Bonjus Tradition Alive!

Every Lebanese person has a memory of drinking their Bonjus, blowing air into the empty carton, and stepping on it to hear that satisfying POP. There’s a Lebanese restaurant in the heart of Paris that is keeping this Bonjus tradition from our childhoods alive, and we’re obsessed!

Becky’s is known for their delicious street food bites, especially their fresh manakish! And you obviously can’t fully enjoy a delectable zaatar man2oushe without a refreshing sip of Bonjus.

And once you’re done, it’s time to complete the full Lebanese experience by stepping outside and popping the empty carton. Just check out these adorable videos of customers reliving our childhood:

We love the idea, and it seems like the people of Paris are loving it too! From the Parisians to the Lebanese diaspora who are craving a taste of home.

Whether you’re Lebanese and living abroad, or you want an authentic Lebanese experience in Paris, you’re going to love visiting Becky’s!

Even the simplest things can bring back a world of cherished memories from our childhood in Lebanon. So happy to see Lebanese abroad keeping these traditions alive!
