It's a wonderful experience, no doubt. This is not a dinner to be had before or after an event - an evening at Shabour IS the event. Each course was a work of art for all the senses -- even "touch," as the mouth feel for each dish seemed to be taken into consideration. And while you are sitting around a large common counter, the lighting and decor provide a feeling of great intimacy. The staff was extremely accommodating regarding my idiosyncratic dietary restrictions; something one doesn't often find in a fine dining establishment such as Shabour. Believe the hype. read more

I had eaten at Tekes and Kapara and with Shabour, I got the hat trick. Three of the best restaurants in Paris. The food is amazing and the service superb! You can feel the joy. Highly recommend!!! read more

Shabour is the brainchild of Israeli Chef Assaf Granit, featuring a menu marrying Middle Eastern influences and French flair I had high expectation but I find that I am NOT enjoying some of the flavors. I think it was me - so it is not for me food wise for me is a three star The amuse-bouche took influence from French mussel éclade and Turkish midye dolma, with a tongue-in-cheek playfulness. The mussel bon bon sat in an oyster shell in a small pool of black rice oil to evoke the rice in the Turkish street food and was topped with an oyster leaf. The bread service was delicious though. came with a rich yogurt dipping sauce. Throughout the night the menu progresses and it was like watching a great show with chef being the director of a great movie. Ambiance is contemporary sexy date night or best friends go out have fun vibe. read more

Such an amazing evening! I treated myself to dinner here for my last night in Paris and am so happy I experienced this. The food was incredible. The flavors and combinations were nothing but amazing. Even though some of the food was different than anything I would've ordered, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed every bite. Make sure you arrive hungry as the portion sizes are great sizes and will fill you up quicker than you expected. I additionally loved how there were only select seats around the kitchen, allowing you to watch the chefs cook and plate the food for you. The staff pays attention to you and explains every dish including the origin and every detail of the dish placed in front of you. Highly recommend anyone in the area to get a reservation here. It was the perfect way to celebrate the last night of my trip!! read more

What an experience! After making our reservations, we were sent an email which asked about food allergies or dietary concerns. My wife isn't quite as adventurous as I am, so she declined the pigeon and any seafood. I was concerned this might affect MY menu but when we arrived and were seated, the chefs reviewed our 'chart' and confirmed the choices and they did NOT disappoint! They served my wife with excellent substitutes while being mindful to serve me the chef's choices for the night on the Prix Fixe menu - which was 7 courses! The head chef and sous chefs all worked in the center of the seating area so you could watch them prepare each dish. Phenomenal! We also got the wine pairing to go with each service. Amazing experience! Very personal and outstanding quality and service. Allow 3 hours. You'll love it! read more

If I could give more stars I would. Top notch elegant service as expected for a restaurant at their level. Very comfortable environment where things are not hectic even though if you are sitting at the chefs table. The service is fast for the kind of place they are which is more suitable for me. You can count on being out of there in 2 hours. The food ... phenomenal! Smart recipes and unique presentations and they provide a bit of history/background with each dish. The menu is not set. The chef will provide you as dishes are prepared. Def try it next time in Paris. read more

This was one of my top 10 dining experiences for sure. Truthfully, I don't remember much regarding the food itself (don't get me wrong everything was delicious) but the service and presentation were exceptional and what really stood out. I adored how small the place was. It's just a kitchen in the middle with bar seating circling it. You got to see ever single dish get made and then finished/sauced right in front of you. There is just a pre fixe menu and you just need to tell the chefs if you have any food restrictions. Every single course was delicious. I'm embarrassed to say that my favorite part of the meal was actually the ending. You get some tea biscuits, fruit (plums and apricots), and a big spoon of salted chocolate ganache. They also send you home with a menu of what you ate and some more tea biscuits! I really want to bring my parents here to enjoy the experience. read more

I've been to Shabour now twice, once for lunch and the other for dinner. Among all my favorite restaurant visits in Paris, Shabour is near the top of the list. Although I think lunch is a much better value, the dinner is equally impressive and more expansive. They also serve different items, such as the wagyu (if you're lucky) which was perfect. I don't mind traditional French food, but if you're looking for a change Shabour might be one of the most special places you can eat at. They blend French technique with Israeli recipes. It's a unique experience not just for France, but in the entire world. I also really appreciate the layout of the restaurant - you get to watch the chefs create everyone's food right in front of you. read more

I was very touched by the pride and excitement every member of this team exudes. The voyagette that our taste buds were taken on was between France and Israel. The meal started with an amuse-bouche. Mussels "esclade" style and a chipotle Chou pastry. Next was the Pan-Dan Yosha which was a meticulous presentation of lobster, apple, pear, yuzu gel puffed freekeh and smoked fig topped with pandan power. This was paired with a fascinating wine from New Zealand. This was followed by the Poule Lo Po, chicken liver and foie gras. It was the best I have ever had! It was presented with a sauce of hamoud, celeriac and mustard seeds. The pairing of Sonnenuhr from Germany a perfect match! Next was the Chraime A River, this was a fish dish with red mullet and a toasted brioche topped with pickled fennel. Surprisingly the fish was paired with a Pinot Noir from the US. At this point I was surprised by the next dish with was the Lamb. Keep in mind I don't like lamb and I found this dish to be delicious. Roasted lamb with a Demi-glacé of red wine and date accompanied by potato, carrot and pearl onion. I really enjoyed the Lacoste-Borie from Médoc France. Next was the 1st dessert which I am incapable of fully explaining. It was a combination of black tea génoise, relish, tahini, crystallized mulukiyah, pomegranate flower sorbet topped with a grated cured egg yolk served in an egg shaped bowl. A light and subtly sweet Riesling was offered with this course. As if this was not enough they followed this masterpiece with fresh mandarin oranges, glazed grapes, tahini cookies and two servings of mousse au chocolat with olive oil and sea salt. This meal was and adventure I will not forget! read more

Simply one of the best and most unique meals I've ever had. Their ability to perfectly mix and tease the influence of French and Israeli food, also bringing in many flavors from other cultures, was truly superb. We also got the wine tasting, and the Sommelier did an amazing job of picking international wines to go with every dish they brought out. It was the highest level of fine dining, in that it felt perfectly executed and top-tier, while the service was never even 1 small bit stuffy - a very casual atmosphere where the people seemed to love what they do. This is a must for anyone visiting Paris, get reservations! read more

What a treat What a meal Two of us on a rainy Monday night had one of the best Michelin dining experiences of our lives. Headed by Chef Dan and his wonderful crew every dish we had was a HOME RUN!! If you're in Paris, even for a night don't miss this wonderful restaurant. read more

We had a very enjoyable experience at Shabour last night. A journey through their dishes and accompanying stories was fascinating and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and obviously enjoy their work. It's hard to say which dish was a favorite because everything was unique and memorable. This is a special place which should be experienced. read more

I struggled, 4 or 5? 4 or 5? FOUR OR FIVE?!?! I'm saying 4.5 rounded up. What a great meal, I love dining experiences like this - where you show up and there is no menu and you eat what they feed you. As someone with a food allergy, this can be very scary. When you book the reservation you tell them any allergies or preferences you have. I listed my allergy. Day of our reservation I get a somewhat frantic email saying we've been trying to get ahold of you, but can't, we're worried we can accommodate your allergy. I was gutted!! I called immediately and spoke with the manager. Discussed my allergy at length. She got with the chef, and then called me back and we were good to go. Whew. Came in and the vibe was great. The seating is all a counter where you watch the chefs finalize the cook and do the plating for the dishes. We went on a 6 course journey through Israeli fusion food! It was amazing and delicious. My husband and I got it with the wine pairing and it was perfectly paired. As one point, as I was heading to the bathroom, the head chef happened to be walking by and asked if I want a shot. Uhhhh yeaaaa! So I took a shot with the jefe while waiting to use the facilities! My only small small thing was that a lot of the dishes were cold (intentionally) or just warm. I prefer most of my meals to be hot hot. But I think with the set up of the meal I just happened to be on a day where a lot of the stuff is intended to be not hot. Oh well, we absolutely plan on returning when the menu changes! read more

Wow, this place is fantastic! We had an amazing experience having lunch here. The staff were great, the whole approach of blending Israeli "street food" and French classic cuisine was magical. Highly recommended. read more

If you like pretentious over priced dinner theater this is the place to go. The wait staff has to give you a dissertation on every dish and wine pore. You have no options to choose from. Only a pre fixe menu which you have no idea what it'll be from day to day. Can't even describe the food. Israeli French fusion of some sort. Of the eight courses we had I could only stomach three of them. The rest I gagged down a bite or two. It's a beautiful restaurant with only counter seating all around a central kitchen with several chefs preparing the food in front of you. The plating was impeccable. Too bad the food wasn't. There was three of us and with the wine pairing came to over 650 euros. Save your money! read more

What can I say? It was amazing. Don't go to Shabour only for a meal, go there for an experience which will delight all the senses. I happened upon Shabour by chance while walking through Montorgueil. I could tell that it was special. By luck, I was able to get a place at the counter two nights later. I had the tasting menu which they tailored to my preferences. Every one of the dishes was delicious and I enjoyed watching the staff prepare them. Too many to remember but Special highlights were the oysters, lamb and dessert... which was like a mousse with olive oil and salt. Hey, I wasn't sure either until I tried it. Which brings me to the staff... every one that I had contact with was friendly and was genuinely interested in making the experience memorable. Thank you Dan, Pauline, Josephine, Charlotte, Louis and Maïa. There are so many options in Paris but if you want to treat yourself to one special night, Shabour would be my choice. read more

By far the most creative well executed meal we have had so far in Paris in many years.The flavors were clear and balanced.The langoustine dish in a clear consommé of roasted vegetables was amazing.The combination of beets and lobster was outstanding . We had wonderful wines from both Greece and Italy. The restaurant had a wonderful energy with the entire staff working as a team. read more

One of the most memorable dinners I've ever had! The food is outstanding. Some of the most inventive dishes I have ever tried. The spices and flavors are out of this world. Unique use of spices that I have not experienced in other restaurants. We loved the lobster, scallops, venison and pigeon dishes the most. The home made breads and dipping sauces are heavenly. We did the wine pairing and I highly recommend that. The sommelier chose wines from around the world and exposed us to some gems that we have never heard of. Many of the wines were a great surprise. Beyond the food and wine the atmosphere is warm, cozy and inviting. The staff are all so kind and make you feel at home. They engage with you in a very sweet and friendly manner and you feel so comfortable in this amazing restaurant. We were lucky the chef was there last night and his story for starting this world class restaurant warms your heart. Next time in Paris we will for sure return and I am telling everyone I know traveling here this year it can't be missed. read more
