From a backyard craft in the mountains of Lebanon to a global symbol of heritage and flavour.
1936
In the mountain town of Bikfaya, Lebanon, brothers Edouard and Maurice Bachir begin crafting ice cream by hand.
What starts as a simple family gesture becomes a taste that endures, shaped by patience, precision, and care. Long before trends or branding, Bachir is born from time, trust, and repetition.
1979–1980
The second generation carries the family craft into Beirut. The first Bachir boutiques open in Jounieh, Jal El Dib, and Achrafieh.
Ice cream becomes part of everyday life, shared across neighborhoods, generations, and moments. This generation builds the foundation that still sustains the brand today.
2010
The third generation joins the journey, working hand in hand with the second.
Together, they expand across Lebanon, carefully growing the brand while preserving its essence. Dozens of locations open, guided by experience, discipline, and a shared respect for what came before.

Bachir opens its first international boutique in Paris.
A family tradition rooted in Lebanon finds its place in a global city, carried by the same values, the same standards, and the same commitment to quality.

The story continues in Brazil. A new continent, a new culture, and the same approach.
Ice cream crafted with care, shared with curiosity, and embraced by a growing international community.

In a region shaped by diversity and discovery, the brand introduces its full range of authentic ice creams to a new audience, staying true to its roots while looking forward.

Not as a concept, but as a living family story — shared across cultures and generations.
