MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

This small, sleek space punches way above its weight with dazzling neo-Levantine cuisine. Many kitchens boast about using fresh ingredients, but Shmoné takes that philosophy to another level, creating a new menu daily (though some items stick around). The cooking often relies on the grill and dishes aren't repeated but they're certainly memorable. A dish of asparagus alternates between green and white that is as artful as it is delicious, while a Jerusalem bagel, piping hot and served with olive oil and a sprinkling of seeds, is a knockout, even in a city well known for its beloved bagels. Bone-in beef short rib impresses with its tender, flavorful meat. The interior has a celebratory ambience—snag a seat at the counter for views of the bar and open kitchen.
