Our Story

Tonino is a proudly family-owned brand founded by Mr. Tony Batrouny in 1990, in the heart of Broummana, Lebanon. What began as a humble kiosk has grown into a household name where artistry meets flavor.

From day one, Tonino has embodied the perfect fusion of sweet and savory, tradition and innovation. Early in its journey, Mr. Roger Chebly joined as a partner, developing Tonino’s signature crepe and waffle recipes and laying the foundation for the brand’s enduring success.

Tonino later expanded to key locations such as Bliss Street before moving into franchising—first locally, beginning with the Saida outlet, and later internationally in Egypt.

Today, with over 35 locations across the Middle East, Tonino stands as a leader in the crepe and waffle space, offering premium products at accessible prices. Despite the challenges faced over the decades, Tonino has built a trusted and recognizable brand rooted in passion, quality, and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction.

Tonino has now entered the Saudi market with its first location in Riyadh. The branch is open from 3 PM to 1 AM, with Thursday and Friday open until 2:30 AM, bringing our signature sweet and savory crepes and waffles to Saudi customers. This is the first step in our Saudi journey, with more locations planned for the future.
