El Rancho, Cabries sur Les Pennes-Mirabeau

02/12/2025: 🥩 [A cooking method that everyone agrees on] 🥩🔥 Wanting to extend a get-together with friends, we decided to brave the Marseille chill in search of a warm and inviting spot to satisfy our appetites. We did a little research on classic dishes before finally being tempted by a hidden gem in the Plan de Campagne shopping area: L’Instant Braisé! No beating around the bush, the concept is simple and brimming with common sense: a menu of meats cooked over an open flame 🔥 We were greeted without hesitation by our host for the evening. Far from being pushy, he showed us to our table. The cozy dining room opens onto the kitchen like a country house with its fireplace. The menu isn't extensive, which saves time. We took advantage of the moment to turn up the heat with an appetizer: a charred Camembert. For the main course, I'm practically bursting with anticipation at the thought of enjoying a delicious flank steak with a potato gratin, dauphinoise-style. What I can say right away is that the prices are more than reasonable and the bill isn't likely to break the bank 💸 But let's not get ahead of ourselves and get to what's coming to the table 😁 The Camembert is a delight to savor. It's served with croutons, allowing you to enjoy this little milky bundle without any smokiness. The stars of the evening don't keep us waiting and arrive a few minutes later. While not gargantuan, my dish is perfectly portioned. A fan of precise cooking, my meat is cooked exactly how I like it. Despite a subtle smokiness, it's still very tasty. Our host goes above and beyond to make our experience as pleasant as possible: bringing us to the table, refilling our water and bread, and always with a smile! Eager to prolong the moment, we indulged in dessert. My heart went out to the French toast. No nibbling required; my dessert warmed the final moments of this dinner 😁 With an average bill of €24 for a main course and dessert, it's hard not to be thrilled at the prospect of spending a cozy evening at L'Instant Braisé 😊👍 In short: impeccable service and unpretentious cuisine, not particularly dazzling, but perfect for a truly memorable evening!
