Shabour

The 26 Best Restaurants In Paris - Paris - The Infatuation

"There’s no menu at this excellent Israeli tasting menu restaurant in the 2nd, and there isn’t even a traditional kitchen. The philosophy here, which the staff reminds you of any chance they can, is “hosting friends as family and family as friends.” It’s why you’ll likely be served champagne, whether or not you ordered any, upon taking your seat around the Brazilian granite bar, which is arranged like a boxing ring with the chefs cooking in the center. Dishes are composed in front of you while the chefs explain what you’re getting. It could be an eggplant crème brulée in a tzatziki broth or maybe a watermelon granita with feta ice cream and some pumpkin seeds, fried onions, and mashed melon rind for crunch. Keep it light and go for the five-course lunch or take in a more romantic experience with the candlelight seven-course dinner." - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta

"The man behind Shabour is Assaf Granit, the high-profile Israeli chef. Already owner of a dozen restaurants in Jerusalem and London, he also presents Israeli TV's version ofKitchen Nightmares. He set his sights on this 17C building in a lively neighbourhood between rue Saint-Denis and rue Montorgueil. Here, we rediscover his trademarks: a lively atmosphere, rough and ready decoration with metal technical ducts visible on the ceiling, subdued lighting... and, of course, generous and surprising creative cuisine replete with Mediterranean influences, whose freshness gives it wings – for example, carrots with slow-cooked egg, tahini foam, salmon eggs and tzimmes, seared mullet in an eastern take on bouillabaisse, or semolina pudding with orange blossom and crème anglaise with pumpkin." - Michelin Inspector
