With seats organized across the central kitchen, Israeli Chef Assaf Granit’s Shabour is as a lot a theater as it’s a culinary expertise mixing French and Mediterranean flavors. One current lunchtime “Voyagette” tasting menu constructed round repurposed French artwork de la desk noticed a langoustine and lobster appetizer dusted with pandan from a French sugar spoon.
Dessert was impressed by the dinner menu’s signature black tea-infused haminados egg, reimagined to unite tea-soaked genoise, tahini cream, and cured egg yolk inside a hand-painted porcelain egg. A global wine checklist reveals some true gems from Greece, Hungary, Canada, and extra. Above all, conviviality and generosity are welcome visitors, as cooks readily work together with diners throughout plating and repair. After sharing a pleasantly fragrant post-dessert shot of aniseed liqueur, lemon, and ginger, our server arrived with consequential mignardises: overflowing bowls of seasonal fruit, piles of tahini cookies, and quenelles of wealthy chocolate mousse drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with Useless Sea salt, and served immediately on a silver spoon, with the entire playfulness and nostalgia of consuming Nutella proper out of the jar.
