Babor by Mohamed Cheikh, the festive dinner cruise of Le Diamant Bleu on the Seine is unveiled

A dinner cruise along the water to discover the most beautiful landscapes and monuments of Paris while enjoying a delicious menu created by Mohamed Cheikh, winner of Top Chef 2021? This is what Babor offers us at Le Diamant Bleu, every Saturday from June to October 2022, except for the month of August and a few Fridays in July.

Why BABOR? Simply because it means boat in popular Arabic. Thus, the tone is given to you: Mohamed Cheikh intends to embark you in his sunny universe and rich in flavours.

You want to spend a beautiful evening full of charm with Paris in the background? Whether it's for a romantic stroll, to feast with friends or to enjoy an effortless visit of Paris with your family, this is an exceptional experience and a good gourmet plan that does not lack attractions.

There is nothing like a boat ride to admire the treasures of the capital without the crowds. From the imposing and sublime Musée d'Orsay to the newly renovatedObelisk of the Concorde, passing by the unavoidable Pont Alexandre III with theInvalides as a backdrop to the magical glitter of the Eiffel Tower, the trip is worth the detour.

Feeding your eyes is good but treating your taste buds is even better. To complete this beautiful escapade, there is nothing like a gourmet menu created by a Top Chef. After having been a hit last year at Manzili, at the Pagode de Cos and recently at Taste , Mohamed Cheikh continues with BABOR and his ephemeral dinners.

Without going into gastronomy, this dinner which remains affordable for a dinner-cruise is a great plan, we enjoyed it! Beautiful associations with good products, perfect cooking and delicious juices, it's an enchanted parenthesis to experience the time of an ephemeral evening. So don't miss your chance! Babor offers a unique menu with achoice oftwo starters, two main courses and two desserts .The whole thing is obviously inspired by the Top Chef 's dual culture, which combines beautiful seasonal products and Mediterranean influences.
