Assaf Granit, Shabour, Paris One Michelin star

EL AL passengers won’t need any introductions to Chef Assaf Granit– why, you’re probably biting into one of his creations this very minute, as he is none other than our airline’s own head chef. But that is but one of his many titles. One

of his restaurants, Shabour, is located in Paris’ second arrondissement, and has earned him a Michelin star for four years in a row now, becoming the Machneyuda Group’s most emblematic eateries. The menu is composed of brilliantly reinvented Israeli classics served on vintage porcelain plates in a buzzing atmosphere with an open kitchen, where operations are looked over by Chef Dan Yosha. French critics have been raving about the place, with the Figaroscope even naming it the best restaurant in Paris - and it’s got a Michelin star to prove it, for the fourth consecutive year.

Gal Ben-Moshe, Prism, Berlin One Michelin star

This is the fourth year in a row that Chef Gal Ben-Moshe and his Berlin restaurant Prism have received a Michelin star. No small feat, considering only 23 Berlin restaurants have been awarded a Michelin star,

and it’s a true badge of honor for Ben Moshe and his partner Jacqueline Lorenz, the restaurant’s co-owner and head sommelier. Based on fresh seasonal produce, the menu mixes local cuisine with elements of the Japanese, Scandinavian, and Iraqi cuisine, Ben-Moshe’s grandmother being Iraqi. The attention brought to every detail, the subtle elegance and precision of the execution, did not escape the eye of the Michelin inspectors, who remarked that “beyond the brilliant gastronomical uniqueness, what is really impressive here is the personal touch, one that you won’t find anywhere else”.
