Asinasa — Restaurant in Grasse

Discovered this little gem of a restaurant purely by accident when planning to visit another restaurant nearby that appears to have now closed permanently.

Very small dining area with a small takeaway type waiting area beyond this. The food being prepared by the owners there.

You probably couldn’t get more than 20 to 30 people seated in the restaurant, but this enhances rather than detracts for the experience.

The food is an amalgam of various Asian cuisines - Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese etc.. Ours was delicious and plentiful. The bill came to €75, and this included two starters, two main courses, plus rice, and half a litre of rose and a large glass of red wine, plus a bottle of chilled Evian water. We both thought this represented superb value for money in not a cheap area to dine out in.

The staff, a man and woman combination, came over as delightful people to deal with. They were also very attentive to their customers’ needs.

Très agréable découverte. Un vrai délice avec des saveurs extraordinaires. Mme Binh la propriétaire et la cuisinière (seule !) vous accueille avec un sourire. Ses plats sont préparés avec des produits de qualité ultra frais juste avant d’être servis. Tout est donc cuisiné minute (certes avec un peu d’attente mais cela en vaut la chandelle !). Mme Binh sait aussi s’adapter à nos demandes (type de riz, épices…). Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les Ha Kao et les nems ainsi que le bœuf au saté très bien cuisiné (un régal). Nous reviendrons prochainement pour gouter d’autres plats et passer à nouveau une agréable soirée dans un cadre intimiste. Enfin, le rapport qualité prix est excellent avec un apéritif, du vin rosé et une mangue...
