Chef Romain Desvenain has added white tablecloths to the tables on his charming terrace. “It may seem like a detail to you, but to me it means a lot”. Don’t worry, he hasn’t transformed his Bistrot du Lion d’Or into a gourmet restaurant, but with this decorative detail, he brings a touch of elegance to the outdoor room of his Carouge gourmet temple. As a culinary aside, let’s take the time to visit this emotionally-charged place. <\/p>\n\n

A rejuvenating cure<\/h2>\n\n

Far from remaining in a culinary state of immobility, the chef has been developing the menu since his arrival on board. With a hint of restraint at first (as is only natural), he quickly took over the stoves to deliver dishes in his own image, while respecting the purest traditions of the bistro. With each menu, Romain Desvenain freed himself and gave a second life to the establishment, freeing it from its past. To put it bluntly, the Bistrot du Lion d’Or lives again! This second wind is comforting and confirms that bistro cuisine still and forever has a bright future ahead of it. <\/p>\n\n

On this wonderful summer evening, the tone is set: enjoy, savor and indulge. The choice is a perfect egg with a piperade mousse and a few slices of coppa. A tribute to the Basque country, no doubt. An imposing artichoke heart topped with generous slices of fera and its buckwheat accompaniment offers a tasty alternative. Would a strong, tangy vinaigrette have been welcome? Perhaps it would. Let us be humble enough to suggest it. The mackerel, so disparaged and underestimated, is a beauty and a perfect reflection of the chef’s culinary philosophy. With its shellfish vinaigrette and candied potato with thyme and lemon, the dish is a gourmet hymn par excellence. <\/p>\n\n

A beautiful story<\/h2>\n\n

The Bistrot du Lion d’Or is back. It wasn’t really gone, but for a while, fate wanted it to take a turn and change its trajectory. There’s no doubt about it, today it’s a great place to live, and thanks to the chef’s takeover of the place and its good reputation, the bistro can write new gastronomic chapters. What a pleasure to read them, and above all… may the story continue! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
