Holey Artisan Bakery is a bakery headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was described in The New York Times "as among the most beloved restaurants in Dhaka".[1] It is a sister company of Izumi.[2]

History

The restaurant was originally located on Road 79 Gulshan-2 near the diplomatic quarters of Dhaka. Its clientele consisted of locals and the expat community in Dhaka.[1]

The bakery was attacked by terrorists on 1 July 2016. In the attack, 18 foreigners, including 9 Italians and 7 Japanese were killed. The restaurant was closed after the attack, before reopening in the ‘Rangs Arcade’ building at Gulshan, described as more secure by the restaurant on 10 January 2017.[3][4] In 2019, a second branch was opened at 'Rangs FC Square' also in Gulshan, which is now renamed as ORO.[5]

The bakery owners plan to turn the former building that housed the restaurant into a residence for themselves.[6]

In September 2016, Holey Artisan opened their first overseas branch in Bangkok, Thailand shortly before reopening in Dhaka. There are currently three branches in Bangkok.[7]
