Summary: A cozy spot serving spicy Mediterranean dishes.
Nestled on the quaint avenue des Iles, Bistro Sauvage stands as a beacon of culinary delight, offering a sanctuary for locals to gather and indulge in a symphony of spicy Mediterranean flavors. This "instinctive" bistro, established by Aurore Mainfroy and Olivier Vitte, promises an unpretentious evening of communal dining under the charm of an outdoor trellis. The menu is an odyssey through the tastes of Israel, Lebanon, and Southern Italy, exquisitely crafted by the self-taught and eco-conscious Olivier. The dishes, ranging from the chef's signature moutabal to indulgent sweet potato gnocchi with wild garlic pesto, and the Bulgarian-inspired banista, are a celebration of family-style cuisine. The savory croquilles d'escargots showcase local fare, while the adventurous aubergine and white chocolate dessert, crowned with black garlic, brownie, and olive oil, leaves a lasting impression. The wine list, though concise, is expertly curated, inviting guests on a journey through various grape varieties with the guidance of Aurore, who brings her wisdom as a part-time ayurveda teacher to the table. Bistro Sauvage is a true culinary adventure, where flavors are as rich as the stories behind them.
