Our Story
Shmoné | Restaurant
At Shmoné, Executive Chef Eyal Shani offers a fresh concept to New York City. This intimate restaurant takes a highly seasonal, thoroughly market-driven approach to products and ingredients, with dishes evolving and appearing as their ingredients ripen and age. One evening's dishes may center around just-to-market spring vegetables, while menus mere days later might be built around an unexpectedly robust haul from local seas. Shmoné offers a tabula rasa for our chefs to follow their hearts and indulge their inspirations, while interacting directly with guests in a tandem performance. This is the impetus behind Shmoné, an intimate, ever-evolving culinary experience powered by the dynamism that Eyal Shani has become known for. Shmoné's dishes reflect a blend of influences from his Jerusalem upbringing and culinary journey. In 2023, Shmoné earned a Michelin star and retained the star in 2024.
Shmoné | Wine Bar
Nestled just next door to the restaurant, Shmoné Wine is the latest evolution of Shmoné’s culinary vision—an intimate, effortlessly welcoming space dedicated to the art of wine and the joy of spontaneous indulgence. Opening its doors in February 2025, this new addition extends the Shmoné ethos beyond the dinner plate, embracing the dynamic world of wine and bar bites with the same curiosity and devotion to quality that defines our restaurant. Here, an ever-evolving selection of curated bottles—ranging from beloved classics to rare, unexpected finds—takes center stage, complemented by a menu of meticulously crafted small plates. The atmosphere is vibrant yet unpretentious, designed for lingering conversations, quick pre-dinner pours, and everything in between. Whether you’re stopping by for a glass before your reservation or settling in for a night of exploration, Shmoné Wine invites you to experience the energy and warmth of our hospitality in a new way. No reservations—just come as you are.
The Visionaries
Eyal Shani
Founder & Head Chef, Good People Group
Chef Eyal Shani was born in Jerusalem in 1959. His culinary passion was first instilled in him by his grandfather, an agronomist and a dedicated vegan, who exposed him to local markets, fields, and vineyards from a young age.
In 1989 he opened his first restaurant "Oceanus" in his hometown of Jerusalem. There, he developed a unique culinary language based on regional Mediterranean products: olive oil, fish, tahini, fresh seasonal vegetables, and of course, the tomato.
Since opening his fine dining restaurant, HaSalon, in Tel Aviv, Shani is now the inspiration and the leading chef of around 40 highly successful restaurants worldwide. Joined by his partner, Shahar Segal, the duo oversees Miznon, HaSalon, Malka, Port Said, North Abraxas, and more in Tel Aviv. Shani’s restaurants are currently located around the world in cities such as New York, Miami, London, Paris, Dubai, Melbourne, Singapore, and are ever growing.

Orianne Shapira
Executive Chef, Shmoné & Shmoné Wine
Originally from Tel Aviv, Chef Orianne Shapira spent her childhood intrigued by cooking, learning from her father, who encouraged her budding interest. After completing her compulsory service in the Israel Defense Forces in 2017, Chef Orianne enrolled in the pastry program at the Danon Culinary Center in Tel Aviv.
While studying, culinary arts became a new creative outlet for Chef Orianna, who is a true artist at heart. She drew inspiration from her youth – a time when she dedicated 15 years to professional dance, including a full-time role with the internationally recognized Batsheva Dance Company in Tel Aviv.
Chef Orianne led the culinary team at HaSalon NYC for nearly 6 years, and now brings her artistry and creative spirit to Shmoné and Shmoné Wine with a focus on a menu that is elevated yet whimsical.
