Marv Ammari

CEO of Creole Cuisine Restaurant Concepts

DID YOU KNOW?

In 1989, Marv Ammari began his hospitality career by taking over a daiquiri shop in St. Bernard Parish. With help from his brothers, Zeid and Richy, he’s grown the business into Creole Cuisine Restaurant Concepts, a company that owns more than 20 restaurants, including Broussard’s, Tommy’s, Cafe Maspero and the Bombay Club.

Best Fest: French Quarter Festival. I love to see the locals come out and enjoy the French Quarter.

Hidden Gem: I really enjoy visiting the Napoleon House. Every time I go there, I feel like it is a step back in time. It’s a great place to enjoy a classic cocktail.

On the Horizon: We have made a company decision to grow Boulevard American Bistro regionally. We are looking forward to opening a location outside of the greater metropolitan area soon.

Advice: Try to learn one thing and teach one thing every day.

Nonprofit: Personally and professionally, I support the important work of the New Orleans Mission.
