Sheherazade sur Gif-Sur-Yvette

16/08/2026: A very pleasant surprise and experience! The dishes are refined, expertly prepared, and of high quality. I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely be back! 😊

09/08/2026: One of the best French restaurants I’ve ever been (in France, all over Europe and the U.S.), even better than most Michelin restaurants. Their appetizers tend to be even more excellent than their main dishes; my favorites are: langoustine in bisque and duck tataki. In particular, the langoustine in bisque is really out of this world, and I will be dreaming about this dish until my return to Gif-sur-Yvette; this dish alone deserves a Michelin star. Their appetizers tend to be very creative in its mixture of sauces and ingredients. Everything tastes freshly made and of high quality. You can tell the chef is a master when even the side dishes such as potatoes or courgettes taste amazing. The location of the restaurant is perfectly convenient, just near the RER B station of GIF-sur-Yvette. They have both outdoor and indoor tables. In the summer, they have air conditioning inside. The only thing I don’t recommend is the dessert, nothing special compared to how amazing the appetizers and main dishes are. Overall this is certainly one of the best French restaurants in the entire Il de France, and it’s completely of a different league from the touristy restaurants in Paris. The restaurant is very small so reservation is highly recommended.
