The story
At L.A Restaurant in the centre of Sanary-sur-Mer, Chef Anthony Lazzaro carries forward a culinary tradition passed down through generations. Growing up as the son of a local farmer, he learned early to respect the land and its produce. His vocation is clear: to elevate ingredients without masking their essence, while daring to create unexpected flavour combinations.
The menu is intentionally short – a pledge of freshness and sincerity. Everything is prepared in-house, from the delicate amuse-bouches to the refined mignardises, including the house-made bread. Each dish reflects a subtle balance between the scents of Provence and a breath of Calabria, a journey between two Mediterranean shores. This modern cuisine, recognised by the Michelin guide, is served in a calm, intimate setting with a charming patio, ideal for a meal for two to four people.
Highlights from the current carte include a starter of asparagus with shellfish, bottarga, and lemon, and a main of maigre fish with tarragon, fennel, and bouillabaisse jus. The signature L.A risotto, with Parmesan Reggiano and black truffles, is a standout. For dessert, the warm chocolate soufflé with hazelnut and Amaretto is a must-try. Anthony and Nadège Lazzaro welcome guests with simplicity and elegance, offering not just a meal but an experience where savoir-faire and family heritage come together to awaken the senses.
