Restaurant Sadarnac

Located on the most charming block of the 20th Arrondissement, Restaurant Sardanac has been getting a great deal of praise from respected critics, and thus a visit was a must.

The tiny space, with maybe six tables, is decorated with simplicity, except for the fantastical wallpaper by Christian LaCroix covering one entire wall. Menus show a choice of a 3 or 4 course blind tasting menu at lunch. We naturally chose 4 courses at 37 Euros.

Sardanac’s kitchen is very innovative and creative, and the food shows culinary artistry. The chef (s) must love what they do, because their dishes took a lot of time and effort.

Sautéed Jerusalem Artichoke was surrounded by a powerful peanut sauce and foamed potato. It was a fascinating and many layered dish. Black Mullet was tempered with tangerine and sautéed chicken breast was accompanied by a separate dish of chicken ravioli in broth scooped up with a spoon. This was a lot of food, finalized with a scrumptious lemon tart for dessert. Service was kind and very patient with me. I did think the wine prices were a bit high, and thus we stuck to Sardanac’s glass selection.

Our final bill came to 119 Euros. I thought that very fair for such...

Fantastic food with very gentle and polite people serving it in the restaurant. If you don't speak french then don't worry as they will help you in english. I am a vegetarian and they really served me very well by accommodating some special and very delicious meals for me. Do pay attention that they might not have a 5 course vegetarian meal option but then you have a 3 course meal option too. In my case they happily served me a 5 course vegetarian meal with a repeat of specific meal I requested. The food is top quality and very flavorful. As an Indian, my tastebuds are strongly developed for different flavors and the chef here did an amazing job to get these different flavors in the food. Specially the chef, she is young but she seems to have a very rich culinary knowledge. Thanks a lot for the service. I am including some pictures of the food from today. Merci et...

Go here as soon as you can, before even more people discover it and reservations are impossible! Our dinner on 19/09/23 was a wealth of tastes and beautiful presentation, delicious cocktails and vin blanc, a lovely waitperson who kindly spoke English with us, housed in a small quiet venue on the lovely rue Saint-Blaise in the 20ème. We ordered the 3 course meal which was more like 5 courses including an amuse-bouche and cheese platter we did not expect. Gaspacho of tomatoes grown in the neighborhood, gnocchi with mushrooms, potato foam and gooseberry detailing, lamb shank with smokey baba ganoush and braised eggplant sides, and for dessert a paris-brest with hazelnut cream and pear. Merveilleux! Wishing only success for Lise Deveix...
