Summary: Chic garden & open kitchen.
Regain, a vibrant and cozy eatery nestled in the Camas district, boasts a yellow facade and surprises guests with a renovated space that used to be Ca Blanca. The establishment features a long bistro-style dining room that extends into a charming priest's garden during warmer days. Behind the open kitchen, Sarah Chougnet-Strudel, known for her pop-up restaurants and unique dining experiences, delights with concise, market-driven menus. Her personal approach results in contemporary pairings, such as bread pudding with roasted beetroot and Mont d'Or cheese, swordfish rillettes, a cheerful lamb sweetbread with yogurt, rose, celery, and savory, as well as a delicious chickpea stew with fregola sarda, spring onions on a coffee-aniseed sabayon. For dessert, there's a honey biscuit with vinegar apple and Sichuan pepper. Lucien Salomon, her business partner, curates a natural wine list and enjoys sharing his latest finds with diners, including selections like "Grabuge" from Luberon, "Fleur de Savagnin" from Jura, "Ça boit libre" from Savoie, and "Granitic" from Morgon, along with some must-try orange wines. Regain's name not only references Giono's novel but also signifies the regrowth of grass in meadows after being mowed, symbolizing new beginnings. The venue presents an enticing selection of over 200 'living' wines and a menu influenced by Asian flavors, promising a dining experience that is as refreshing as its namesake.
