bio

On the Lebanese culinary scene, chef Andrea Boueiz is the person to watch in the years to come. After attending the Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland, she returned to Lebanon and became head chef at the Tawlet restaurant for a year and a half.

Then, with her sister Rhea and her friend Carma Andraos, she revitalized the Peck restaurant in Gemmayzeh, restoring its image and menu. She also worked for the Golden Evenings at the Al-Bustan Hotel when she was only 22.

In 2024, she opened her new restaurant, Un peu fou (A little crazy), in Gemmayzeh. For this new venture, where she can fully express her creativity, she partnered with four other chefs: Rhea, Andraos, as well as Amine Kallas and Tiffany Trad.
