One of those "a little forgotten" addresses, yet present for many years, that you can enjoy rediscovering every time you look for a gourmet restaurant, not (too) expensive and original. L'Archange is all of this in this small quiet street opening onto Place Sathonay. A restaurant that you can describe as intimate without being wrong, no large table, a dining room not very large, but a cuisine that is great by the creativity of its compositions. At the helm, a Japanese chef who revisits traditional French cuisine in a set menu that changes over the seasons. The choice is therefore limited: no à la carte dishes, no menu for children, but the two or three starters, the two dishes -meat, fish-, to which you can add the suggestions of the blackboard of the moment, will always be enough to fully satisfy us. Surprising combinations for delicious harmonies like this salad of marinated octopus on a bed of leeks with vinaigrette, a pan-fried sea bass fillet with small vegetables and "bonne femme" sauce or a pork fillet with spices, chorizo, mushrooms and beans, full-bodied juice. Desserts are equally delicious, with a rhum flavoured chocolate dessert and hazelnut ice cream. Take your time to enjoy everything.
Nous avons passé un excellent moment entre amis et nous nous sommes régalés. Les serveuses sont très sympathiques et de bon conseils.
Je vous recommande fortement de goûter au saké à la prune ... un délice.
