At 10 boulevard Gambetta, Yan and Cathy Ibanez created the restaurant “Samigiri” as a family. Dedicated to quality, homemade Asian street food, the brand offers you the opportunity to enjoy exotic dishes on the go or while taking your time in an atypical “kawai” (“cute” in Japanese) inspired decor.
For weeks, passers-by on Boulevard Gambetta wondered what this pink sign was that was about to open its doors. At the end of December 2024, the suspense is coming to an end: “Samigiri”, a creation of the Narbonne entrepreneur couple Yan and Cathy Ibanez, is ready to delight fans of Asian street food. “This is a family business and a new professional challenge,” we explain. She is of Laotian origin and is keen to pass on her gastronomic heritage. He is passionate about cooking, a gourmet and an entrepreneur at heart. It was by drawing inspiration from their various trips to Asia that the couple decided to open “Samigiri” at 10 boulevard Gambetta.
