After the starred Shabour and Tekes, Assaf Granit continues its takeover bid on rue Saint-Sauveur by opening Shana, a place which should quickly make waves. This new project from the starred Israeli chef, associated with his friends Uri, Dan and Tomer, is in line with their previous creations, while providing a new concept. Shana presents itself as a Mediterranean wine bar, combining the Parisian spirit with a Levantine atmosphere. The intimate space, with exposed stone walls, is decorated with family photos and jars, creating a warm atmosphere where you quickly feel at home. As for the cellar, sommelier Félix Boulègue offers an eclectic selection, showcasing wines from around the Mediterranean and beyond. We discover little-known grape varieties there, from Lebanon to Georgia via Greece and Slovenia. In the kitchen, chef Eviatar Primat, trained in Israel then at the Le Cordon Bleu school, combines French tradition and oriental influences. Its changing menu follows the seasons, offering original creations to share such as a remarkable chopped bonito, sushi rice, harissa and candied lemon (€7), grilled octopus, hamusta, tabasco and amba maple syrup (€21), a “very tender” tab accompanied by a potato gratin reminiscent of Anna apples and an exemplary pepper sauce (€24), or a hummus/mushroom éclair (€16) which already stands out as a dish signature. For dessert, don't miss the delicious “benimousse” (€11), a powerful and creamy chocolate mousse pimped with olive oil and fleur de sel. The atmosphere changes throughout the evening. The first hours are ideal for tasting, then the atmosphere gradually becomes electrified. The music grows in power, infusing a very 70's energy. More than just a restaurant, Shana establishes itself as a place of life that evolves with the night, where people come to drink, eat, but above all to live a gastronomic and festive experience with Mediterranean accents.
