The chef Danny Khezzar is launching Sheesh, his street-food label, in Paris this Sunday, September 27, 2026. After Geneva, the brand opens its first French outpost at 91 rue Réaumur, in the 2nd arrondissement, bringing the first French address of the chain. The menu features Japanese sandwiches (sandos), burgers, crispy chicken, sides and desserts crafted by the Top Chef 2023 finalist.
The spot sits in the Sentier district, just a short stroll from Rue Montorgueil. A compact 12-seat venue designed for eating in, grabbing a sandwich to go, or having it delivered.
Danny Khezzar is known for his haute cuisine, his cornrows, and his on-screen energy. Born in Rosny-sous-Bois, in Seine-Saint-Denis, he cut his teeth at L'Espadon in the Ritz Paris alongside Michel Roth, before following him to Bayview, the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Hôtel Président Wilson in Geneva, which he now runs.
With Sheesh, the chef switches up the playing field. Here, you eat with your hands, but the sauces, seasonings, and balance of the recipes are still crafted with the precision of a Michelin-star kitchen. He says he wanted to craft the sandwiches he craved every day. A simple urge, almost like a kid who’s finally been handed the keys to the kitchen.
The sando is Japan’s take on the sandwich. Two slices of shokupan, that pillow‑soft Japanese sandwich loaf, cradle a generous filling. At Sheesh, the sando is a calling card: soft, crunchy, fresh, and boldly flavorful. The Japanese food culture infuses the entire menu, from the sauces to the textures.
The brand started in Geneva, where it built its reputation through festivals and events. In France, it’s growing with Taster, a restaurant-network specialist that’s guiding its franchise rollout. Paris is the first step in a journey that should see additional locations pop up across France.
The menu fits on a single page, and that’s a good thing. Topping the lineup, L'Original brings together shokupan, fried chicken fillet, Chinese cabbage, white cabbage, sesame oil, spicy mayonnaise, and tonkatsu sauce, for €12.90 on its own or €15.90 in a combo. Its indulgent version, Le Sheezy, adds cheddar (€13.90 on its own, €16.90 in a combo), while the Avocado option swaps in avocado for a different take (€16.50 in a combo).
On the vegetarian front, Le Veggie leans on a korokke, a Japanese croquette, crowned with cheddar and lemony mayonnaise (€15.90 in a combo). For fans of soft, round bread, the pick is Le Burger Sheesh, tucked into a fluffy bun (€11.50 solo, €14.50 in a combo). There are also cajun-spiced tenders with Sheesh sauce (€9.90 for three, €12.50 in a combo), a P'tit Wrap at €6.90, and a Sheesh Caesar with a poached egg and fried chicken (€13.90 for the large, €5.50 for the mini).
The combos come with a side of your choice (fries, sweet potato fries, or a mini Caesar) and a sauce from among tonkatsu, rosemary ketchup, spicy mayo, or lemon mayo. To finish, two flower-shaped desserts await the gourmets: peanut caramel or lemon-yuzu passion, priced at €6.90.
The current curiosity is the Michel Roth sando. A nod from Danny Khezzar to his mentor, reimagining one of his Michelin-starred dishes as a sandwich, with shrimp, Chinese cabbage, lemony mayo, and a raspberry-tonkatsu sauce (€14.50 solo, €17.50 in the combo). A stylish way to slip a touch of haute cuisine into the lunch break.
To sample a menu from a Michelin-starred chef without booking weeks in advance, and at fast-food-friendly prices. The spot also speaks to Top Chef fans curious to see what Danny Khezzar does with a sandwich, and to Sentier regulars on the lookout for a new lunch spot. The graphic universe, with its mascot, illustrations and packaging, gives the Store the vibe of a street-culture concept store.
A quick heads-up: with only 12 seats and the novelty factor, you can expect crowds in these first weeks after opening. Plan for a bit of patience, or opt for takeout. Since hours aren’t announced yet, it’s worth checking the official Sheesh website before you head over.
Sheesh has been open since Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 91 Rue Réaumur in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement. The restaurant offers dining in, takeout, and delivery. Prices run from €5.50 to €17.50 for dishes, with desserts at €6.90. All details are available on the official Sheesh site.
