Restaurant Passion

For diners who enjoy a meal as it unfolds, one of the lunch options at Restaurant Passion includes three starters. One visitor reported that these arrived as three separate courses rather than together on a single plate. It’s a tempting choice when you want to savour each dish before moving on to the soup and main course. Another lunch included soup and three kinds of hors d’oeuvres, followed by sautéed Yoro pork petit salé and chorizo. The range of course combinations and mains is part of the appeal.

If you’re choosing a single dish, the breaded pork with mozzarella is one that has made an impression. A visitor described the pork and cheese combination as having a satisfyingly crisp coating. Salad and a light soup were also reported alongside it, making it easy to picture as a lunch main. The soups have their own character: one diner found the Shogoin turnip soup rich and nourishing, while another enjoyed the gentle sweetness of a chilled beetroot soup. Discovering a dish that varies with the season or occasion is another pleasure of choosing a course.

For fish, one dinner course reportedly began with starters of cherry salmon and white asparagus, followed by a main featuring goldlined seabream, scallops and fried scorpionfish. Another visitor noted that the fresh fish available for the day’s poêlé was displayed in the restaurant. If you have a particular interest in fish, it may be worth asking what is available that day. Diners have also reported enjoying crème brûlée, cake and ice cream for dessert. Wine and beer are among the drinks on offer, whether you’re taking your time over a lunch course or working through dinner one dish at a time.

Reservations are available for both lunch and dinner, and booking is recommended. If you’re looking forward to particular dishes, checking the day’s course and fish options when you reserve may help you decide.
