| Last reviewed: May 2026 Maison Aleph is the project of Syrian-French pastry chef Myriam Sabet, born in Aleppo, trained in classical French pâtisserie. Her '1001 feuilles', golden filo nests built around fragrant dried-fruit creams in flavours like Iranian pistachio with orange blossom, walnut with cinnamon, sesame with halva, are a contemporary translation of baklawa rather than an imitation. The Marais boutique on rue de la Verrerie is a small, deliberately quiet space; pastries are sold by the piece or boxed. For the Istanbullu visitor, Maison Aleph is the rare Paris pastry counter where the reference points, kadaïf, mahlep, mastic, the Levantine reading of chocolate, feel native rather than translated.
Editor's Tip
Order the pistachio-orange-blossom 1001 feuilles. Box of six travels well; eat within 36 hours.
