Restaurant Alia Oriental et Cuisine Traditionnel Française sur Villeurbanne

12/08/2026: A small, gourmet Halal restaurant run by an Algerian chef that's well worth a visit for its original cuisine, featuring refined flavors and combinations. We appreciated the kind, friendly, and attentive waiter. The foie gras with a touch of date was slightly unsettling for me due to its sweetness. Having grown accustomed to eating it with fig and a pinch of salt, I prefer this classic preparation. However, the approach is original. Algerian dates are instantly recognizable, and their sweet and delicate flavors are undeniably the best in my opinion. I tried it. Perhaps a touch of salt would have completely won me over. I was delighted with the experience. The duck à l'orange was cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. The desserts, which I unfortunately forgot to photograph, were delicious; a special mention goes to the fruit dessert with a cream cheese mousse. It's a shame that some dishes aren't available for lunch. The setting and the tranquility of the place are a true pleasure in every respect. The absence of music is truly appreciated. A big thank you to the entire team for allowing us to have an excellent experience in a Michelin-starred Halal restaurant. Wishing you continued success.
