It is one of the most important awards in the restaurant world. This is the sixth consecutive year the restaurant has received the star. At the ceremony in Monaco, Granit said the war does not stop him. It gives him the strength to keep working.
The restaurant 'Shabour' opened in 2019 in Paris. It combines French cuisine with flavors from Jerusalem. The menu includes dishes with tahini, eggplants, amba, and spices from the Jerusalem market. The menu changes frequently according to the season.
The restaurant looks different from typical luxury restaurants. The diners sit close to the chefs. There are no formal tables with white tablecloths. The atmosphere is more relaxed and joyful.
Granit said he hopes to reach two Michelin stars in the future. According to him, the success of the restaurants shows that Israeli cuisine is thriving worldwide.
