Yesterday we met Cristina, visiting us from Nelson, wearing beautiful Palestinian tatreez that she had stitched herself. As we got talking, she shared her husband’s family story with us.

His grandparents left Bethlehem for Chile around 1920, taking their Palestinian food and traditions with them. They couldn’t always find the same spices, so they adapted with what they had.

And now, more than 100 years and four generations later, their children are still eating Palestinian food, learning the traditional recipes and playing tawle. ❤️

From Bethlehem, to Chile, to Nelson and now our little table at Zaitoon. May our food and culture forever travel with us. Thank you Cristina for sharing your family’s story.

We’d like to say a huge thank you for the overwhelming love and support during our first weeks in our new home. We genuinely didn’t expect to be this busy, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came through our doors.

We know there were moments where we weren’t able to accommodate everyone, and some of you experienced longer waits than we would have liked. We really appreciate your patience and understanding while our team finds its rhythm and we hope we’ll be able to host you again soon.

To our super hero Baba! We are so incredibly thankful to you for helping us build Zaitoon from the ground up. From the electrical work and construction to helping design and shape the space, you put so much of your time, skill and heart into making our vision a reality.

Zaitoon carries your hands and heart in every corner. We are forever grateful and so blessed to have you 🤍

اللهم بارك له في صحته وعمره ورزقه، واجزه عنا خير الجزاء. آمين
