With today’s technology, making a reservation at a Parisian restaurant is a real obstacle course. Anything can happen if the sesame is not confirmed by a bank imprint followed by a phone call a few hours before the meal. It’s a tedious process, but a necessary one to combat the scourge of “no-shows” due to the lack of education on the part of some customers (especially in times of health crisis, when the restaurant world needs a full house more than ever).   <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arriving at Shabour<\/a> with the certainty of having a reservation quickly becomes a disillusion when it hasn’t been entered into the computer system. With barely twenty seats around a counter that encircles a tiny, bustling kitchen, the restaurant is overcrowded for both services. A heavy atmosphere sets in. What’s to be done? Whose fault is it? The most annoying thing is that the most sought-after seats – those around the counter, the lungs of the Israeli-inspired restaurant whose theatrical animation is well worth the detour – are all occupied. But that’s without counting on the elegance and professionalism of Jos\u00e9phine Chaulet, the restaurant manager, who, with a wave of her magic wand, repaired an unpleasant situation for both parties and found us a table… in front of the window. We’ll do without the show in the kitchen, but we’re seated, and that’s what counts in the end! <\/p>\n

Break<\/h2>\n

Ros\u00e9 champagne is immediately served in a magnificent vintage crystal glass, in stark contrast to the untouched d\u00e9cor of this small establishment in the heart of Paris’s second arrondissement. By way of a gourmet prelude, the focus is on cultural diversity. Shabour breaks down gastronomic stereotypes – hence the origin of the name “<\/x>casser<\/x>” in Hebrew – and preconceived culinary ideas. Another idea of gourmet travel… By way of appetizers, it all starts with a stroll through Jerusalem with a chakchouka candy, a  gefilte fish<\/em> with carrot and caviar pur\u00e9e, and atayef with foie gras, pistachio and rose.<\/p>\n

A reinterpretation of clafouti flavored with maschia (nutmeg bark), laid on a tile of tanzia (a mixture of walnuts and raisins), sprinkled with a few fennel seeds, kicks off the festival before giving way to langoustine and mussels in arak served in a matbucha consomm\u00e9. The soft-boiled egg with its tahini foam, onion relish, bottarga and salmon roe are must-tries. To be enjoyed to our heart’s content, while dipping in a piece of still-warm braid! Divine! The unstructured Borsch, accompanied by vodka-steamed lobster, glazed beet, horseradish-feta cream and dill oil, maintains the level of originality and indulgence. <\/p>\n

A bright future<\/h2>\n

After the surprising artichoke vinaigrette dessert with ras el hanout crumble, the conclusion is clear: Shabour is a no-holds-barred UFO in the Parisian food galaxy. A culinary delight in this autumnal revival that confirms the strength of the French gastronomic scene. With a young generation free of any form of classicism, extremely well trained in the trade and with an irreproachable knowledge of products, Shabour has a bright future ahead of it. <\/p>\n
