CAFÉ DU LEVANT
The Café du Levant is hidden in the bucolic setting of the small village of Aire-la-Ville, near Satigny. The charming country bistro takes care of its decor, bright with a beautiful veranda, a terrace in summer and attentive service. The chef, Stéphane Taffonneau, offers our taste buds the best of his cuisine. The menu is renewed every six weeks, according to the seasons and gives pride of place to local products such as longeole, Geneva flour and Mont d'Or vacherin. Local producers are not forgotten with, for example, the oils from Aire-la-Ville. Crus by the glass invite us to discover the best Geneva wines but also the wines of the Loire (Stéphane's home region). The dishes on the menu of the day are prepared using fresh seasonal produce. And the "food and wine pairing" menus give pride of place to the suggestions of the moment, such as the truffle menu from mid-January to early March or the lobster fantasy in the sunny season! From mid-April to the end of May, you will discover the foie gras nougat with morels, sweetbreads and pistachios or the "un air de fêtes" menu from the end of November. For gourmets, slate of local cheeses, grapes and beggars, and the gourmet sweetness inspired to the chef by the season. Any suggestions? A selection of Russin peaches, Breton shortbread, tartar and sorbet or burlat cherries, light mousseline and crispy tiles... A nice clever address for gourmets on a vineyard getaway!
Members' reviews on CAFÉ DU LEVANT
Personnel avec de l'humour et très attentionné
Cuisine très classique, plats peu créatifs, trop salé, gras (pommes de terres imbibées d’huile).
À relever toutefois que les cuissons étaient maîtrisées.
Et cher pour ce que c’est.
