Episode #16 

Meet Nico Alary. Co owner of Holybelly. Europe’s most popular cafe. 

Catching up for breakfast or grabbing your morning coffee at 9am on the way to work was completely unheard of in Paris. This all changed when Nico and his wife Sarah opened Holybelly.

Inspired by their travels from Canada and Melbourne, they are now a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. They have had lines out the door up to 100m long for the past 7 years!

They live by the motto “it’s good because we care”. This is so evident in everything they do. From their service of food and beverage to the way they care for their staff.

This dynamic duo have had such an influential presence in the hospitality industry in Paris and around the world. If you follow the Holybelly page on social media you get a real insight into the industry - the good and the bad. 

Nico was my first international guest and I’m super grateful for his time.
