Levan

A neighbor that everyone wants

“Neighbourhood restaurant” is one of the most used buzzwords in the industry. It’s meant to signal familiarity, authenticity, and personality — which are especially important in these post-covid times. Even Levan uses the expression to describe themselves. And we understand why! This is a simple but ambitious French-inspired restaurant that offers honest cooking and warm service. It takes great care to ensure transparency and quality in everything from relationships with suppliers to the wellbeing of employees. Levan’s approach toward sustainability issues feels right, relevant, and worth sharing. You can’t do everything, and survival is often the priority, but even small efforts go a long way!

Summary:

• Close relationships with farmers and suppliers

• Wine list featuring low intervention, organic, and biodynamic wines from small artisanal producers

• A fondness for wines from the Jura

• Strong advocate for rotation – cross-training staff and ensuring there’s no such thing as “this is your section.”
