Just a little west of Hankyu Shukugawa Station, there is a Chinese restaurant called “ラヴェニール チャイナ.”
Although it’s close to Shukugawa Station, it’s tucked away from the main street, so you could call it a hidden-gem kind of restaurant.
The place is stylish enough that you might think it’s a cafe, but it serves authentic Sichuan cuisine.
This time, we’d like to introduce this restaurant.
目次
“ラヴェニール チャイナ” Cuisine
There are two lunch courses: a 1,550 yen course and a 2,000 yen course.
For the 1,550 yen course, you choose one main dish from “seafood dish” or “meat dish,” while the 2,000 yen course includes both.
Since we were there, we ordered the 2,000 yen course.
First up is this “assorted hors d’oeuvres” plate.
It comes with four kinds of appetizers, including meatballs and mozuku seaweed aspic.
Each portion was just a bite, but every item showed solid Chinese cooking technique and was delicious.
Next were “two kinds of fried dishes.”
They were a spring roll and something like a steamed meat bun.
In both, the wrappers brought out the delicious flavor of the fillings sealed inside, and they were very tasty, though hot.
This is the meat dish, “sautéed jidori chicken breast with black vinegar.”
It was a light dish, but the flavor of the chicken came through clearly, and the balance with the black vinegar was excellent.
And then the seafood dish, “shrimp in Sichuan chili sauce.”
A classic Sichuan dish.
Of course, it was very delicious.
For the rice dish, you choose from “fried rice,” “chimaki,” or “plain rice porridge.”
This time, we chose the “fried rice.”
The sakura shrimp added a nice accent.
Finally, dessert.
Today’s desserts were “mango pudding” and “steamed cake.”
It was a luxurious lunch where you could fully enjoy Sichuan cuisine as a course meal.
