Carla Rebeiz, from finance to cooking
bio

Born in Beirut, where she spent most of her teenage years, Carla Rebeiz moved to the United States when she came of age to pursue an MBA. With her degree in hand, this eager young woman returned to France to start a career in finance. After building a solid and impressive career in finance, from banking to trading rooms, financial information to brokerage, she decided to slow down and make a 180-degree turn, convinced that « it's time. » It was time to put her energy into a concept she was passionate about. She named it « Eats Thyme, » a play on words combining « eat thyme » and « it's time. » After a year spent developing her project, she founded the company Eats Thyme in February 2018. Two years later, in the midst of Covid-19 and lockdown, this charming and elegant Parisian venue with Lebanese flavors opened its doors.

Today, Eats Thyme also offers catering services, always with a personalized, creative, simple, and elegant approach. Its clients include writers—Orhan Pamuk, Amin Maalouf, Diane Mazloum—artists, movie stars, and more.
