I discovered L’Etape Dorée in l’Arbresle for dinner yesterday, and I thank the culinary gods on the altar of haute cuisine, to have blessed this sleepy town in South Beaujolais with such a marvellous and unexpected gem.
From the subtle yet precise interior design improvements, to the friendly yet not familiar welcome, to the soft spoken and never over bearing service, to the impressive precision and control of the sophisticated flavours and textures intersecting Japanese and French culinary techniques and traditions, to the clever and well informed wine selection (and here I should make particular mention of the exceptionally on point, carefully designed wine pairing that swoon me over), everything at l’Etape Dorée, was indeed golden. I shall come back soonest with great excitement and the confidence that my high expectations will be met by this highly talented team at the helm of affairs, who squarely puts L’Arbresle, at long last, on the gastronomic map. Bravo et à très bientôt!
