"I remember this little restaurant at the end of Tournus main street being for sale a while back, and the owners were looking to pass it on to a deserving couple. They had a number of applicants and eventually chose César and Rima Asfar, refugees who had fled Syria two years previously having lost their home and their jobs in the civil war.César was a sales manager, and Rima a teacher but they knew enough about cooking to grab the chance of a new start, with César as chef and Rima as serveuse.However, at the end of the day a diner is not particularly interested in the back story - he just wants a decent meal at a fair price. And this is what the couple are providing.The space is very limited and there is just seating for 26. The menu is fairly simple Syrian fare, but everything is very fresh and well done, and the service is very quick and friendly even when they are full. There were four of us and we decided to have four different cold starters to share amongst us. However Rima said that the mains would have several of these as accompaniments to the dish, so we changed to warm starters instead. We do have some knowledge of Syrian and Lebanese dishes, but helpfully they are explained on the menu anyway. Taboulé, falafel, bourak, yalangi, hommos, moutabal and rice are available as a mixed vegetarian main too.Desserts from the Levant tend to be quite sweet, and seeds and rose water feature large. We all opted for knafed au fromage - a warm sweet cheese dish with pistachios.Although there are 3 or 4 French wines available the wine list is predominantly Lebanese. We had a Chateau Kefraya Les Bretèches rosé with the entrées and then Bretèches rouge with the mains, and both were extremely good. They list also a fairly new grower IXSIR which won high praise at the 2009 Bordeaux wine fair, and MYST that I’ve never encountered before.As they grow in skill and confidence César and Rima might want to extend their menu to encourage people to return more frequently, but they’ve certainly made a good start."
