Paris brings so much to the table, especially if you are fortunate enough to dine at Shabour.

Along with purchasing advance tickets to exciting and stimulating art exhibits you must book ahead at Michelin Star Shabour.

Shabour (translation broken) opened in late 2019 and had already been ranked among the best restaurants in the French capital, featuring recipes inspired by Israel and the Mediterranean.

The experience titillates your palate along with a delectable history lesson.

Sequestered in a maze of buildings in the Sentier district the glass enclosed building comes alive during the two nightly seatings.

The Voyage Shabour, a seven course culinary journey is extraordinary and I adore that everyone sits around the huge square marble counter.

Diners are allowed to witness the choreographed culinary dance, partaking in the preparation and interacting with the entire staff.

There is a fascinating back story accompanying every course.

The wine list is as diverse as each server.

The culinary brain trust is led by Chef Assaf Granit who owns 13 restaurants, including Shabour and the deliciously spirited Balagan in Paris, Jerusalem’s MachneYuda among several other Israeli restaurants and Coal Office in London.

Let the delectable culinary journey commence ($118 prix fixe menu):

Every course was sumptuous, interesting and creatively presented.

Shabour is a must when visiting Paris.
