In the southernmost city of Ushuaia — dubbed 'the End of the World' — a French bakery is serving up flaky croissants and century-old family legacy 🌍. Housed in the historic Ramos General Store, this cozy spot bridges Lebanon, France, and Argentina through dough, butter, and a sprinkle of wanderlust.
From Beirut to Buenos Aires
It all started in 1913 when María Cecilia Salomón's grandfather arrived from Lebanon, bringing Middle Eastern spices and resilience to Argentina. Decades later, her son Enrique reimagined the family store by adding French patisserie magic — think baguettes baked alongside traditional Argentine facturas (pastries). Talk about a cultural collab! 🥮+🥖=✨
A Recipe for Connection
Today, travelers and locals alike flock here for dulce de leche-filled desserts and stories of cross-continent journeys. 'Food is our family’s language,' says Enrique. 'Every bite honors where we’ve been — and where we’re going.' 🛣️
Pro tip: Pair your media luna (Argentine croissant) with locally roasted coffee. Your taste buds will thank you! ☕
