Just a few months after announcing its closure last December, Alavita Kitchen, the café and restaurant in Bonnevoie owned by the organic shop Alavita, is back! What to expect? A brand-new food menu with gourmet delights in a cozier setting.
A story of encounters
The owner of Alavita Kitchen makes no secret of the fact that without Camille, the new manager, she might never have reopened the place. “We started talking, and soon realised that we had the same vision for the place”. The two women have worked to create a more welcoming place offering quality food, all thanks to a new, attentive team. Owner of the bulk grocery shop ‘Les Bocaux de Camille’ in Thionville (bankrupt since December), Camille embarked on this new project with a thousand ideas. “I love good food. We have worked with the chef to offer original dishes, I also came with products from my former shop that I am sure people will love here (nuts spread, wine, …)”, Camille promises.
Cosy interior for gourmet dishes
Inside, the walls have been decked out in terracotta, green plants are scattered around the room, and straw light fittings and mirrors immediately create a warmer, more welcoming atmosphere. A new area has also been created at the entrance, “allowing us to extend our sitting area for lunch”.
As far as the menu is concerned, the ambition is to combine creativity and deliciousness. To achieve this, Anne Harles has called on chef Jérôme Finot (formerly of La Mirabelle and Le Fin Gourmand), who will be working alone in the kitchen (to be observed from the dining room, thanks to the glass roof) to come up with original dishes. “We focus on quality seasonal products, all organic of course,” explains Anne Harles.
The menu changes every week, with starters, main dishes and desserts. For the opening week, asparagus and wild garlic will be featured. There is also a pea risotto with (or without, for vegan) sea bream. For dessert, the chef will delight your taste buds with a rhubarb tart!
Salads, soups and bowls are always on offer. The takeaway service, so popular with local residents, is of course still available.
Saturday brunch and good coffee
All week, as from 9 o’clock, you can also enjoy a good breakfast : homemade granola with puffed quinoa, pastries and much more. All this, accompanied by a speciality coffee from French roaster MOKXA or a 100% organic tea from Les Jardins de Gaia. “We’ve bought a new coffee machine and I’ve taken a barista course so that we can offer our customers quality drinks,” says Camille.
On Saturdays, a brunch offer (hot dish, hot drink, juice and sweet delicacy) will delight local residents and others alike! “We really hope that this address will attract customers from all over Luxembourg, not just Bonnevoie. With the quality of the food and the new team in place, we really think we’ll be able to satisfy as many people as possible,” says Anne Harles.
