La Chassagnette - Restaurant bio - UK

La Chassagnette’s team is taking a break before Christmas holidays. The restaurant will reopen on December, 6th ready for celebrating Christmas and the New Year with an outburst of flavours and happiness…

It’s a premiere in France :  from now on La Chassagnette offers a tasting menu mixing Japanese sake with Mediterranean cuisine. According to headchef Armand Arnal “the absence of tannin,  the alcohol light-potency, the mineral harmony of sake offer a neutrality matching perfectly with acid and sour flavours of the Mediterranean cuisine’s vegetables and olive oil".

Armand Arnal has selected several Isaké’s sakes chosen to accompany each course of his menu. "The sake is able to vanish its personality to accompany meals with simplicity and give ground to a gustative alternative », highlights the chef who currently proposes his squash cream soup with jabugo, pears and sage of a red Premium Isake Fustsuu... It’s an unique sensory experience, a complete different way to sense the flavours.

Menu is served every evening for the whole table for 75€ per guest.

La Chassagnette and its headchef Armand Arnal got top-graded in the “Grand Terroir” category awarded by the 2007 Hubert Guide. This grant rewards “the superlative land” expressed by a “chef who seeks his culture and inspiration deep in the soil of his land”. By awarding La Chassagnette with 4 "marmites", the Hubert Guide notes “an environment designed with spirit, preserved with care and run with genius. Armand Arnal has managed to adapt his technique and imagination to this world for experienced botanist, giving to his courses as much aspect as taste” writes the reviewer who concludes by “La Chassagnette, a symphony toward Nature”.
