Sushi Gourmet offers sushi to take away in Arras, on avenue Winston Churchill, in the north-west of the city, near the retail area. The house presents the Japanese art of raw fish and vinegared rice as platters ready to share, handy for drinks, a cold buffet or a light reception. Against the traditional buffets of the North, sushi brings a fresh, colourful and refined note, ideal for varying the pleasures at an event or a meal with friends.

Sushi to take away in Arras

Located on avenue Winston Churchill, the address complements the offer of the caterers in Arras with a Japanese takeaway speciality, on a busy road easily reached by car. Its position near the retail area, away from the historic centre, makes collecting platters very convenient, with easy parking. For improvised drinks as much as a planned reception, having a handy, well-placed sushi outlet is a real asset when organising a cold buffet.

Access and order collection

The easy parking of the avenue and its retail area makes it simple to collect one or more platters, even in quantity. As with any sushi platter, it is wise to order ahead for large quantities, especially at weekends and during celebrations. A prior phone call lets you specify the number of guests, the desired composition, any preferences (with or without raw fish) and the collection time, so that freshness is guaranteed.

The art of sushi

Sushi rests on a subtle balance between vinegared rice and the freshness of the fish. On a platter you readily find maki rolled in a sheet of seaweed, california rolls with avocado, nigiri topped with a slice of fish and sashimi of finely sliced raw fish. This variety of shapes and flavours, from salmon to tuna by way of vegetarian versions, makes up a table that is at once light, elegant and full of freshness.

A light and colourful table

The great strength of sushi lies in its lightness. Where a hearty buffet can weigh on an evening, a sushi platter stays easy to digest and lets you nibble without excess. Its bright colours also make it a pleasure for the eyes, very photogenic on a reception table. For a warmer, spicier note to go with it, the Indian caterer Arora and the Oriental caterer Bnina et Zwina bring other world flavours to the scale of a buffet.

For which moments?

A sushi platter finds its place at a drinks-and-dinner reception, a cold buffet, a birthday or an evening with friends, but also a light working lunch or office drinks. Its careful presentation and refined character make it a well-liked option when you want to step away from classic buffets without launching into big organisation. A fine platter also makes a gourmet gift, to offer for an occasion or simply as a treat.

An ideal addition to a buffet

Sushi fits perfectly into a varied buffet, bringing the fresh, light touch that hearty tables sometimes lack. Many pair it with other bites to build a balanced reception, mixing hot and cold, terroir and world cuisine. For a rustic, homemade service in a completely different register, the caterer The Sisters' Canteen is also among the addresses in the section.

Ordering your platters well

For a successful order, first estimate the number of pieces per person, an often underestimated point: as a main course, you need considerably more than for simple drinks. Then specify your preferences, since not everyone enjoys raw fish: providing cooked, vegetarian or chicken-based maki widens the pleasure to the whole table. Finally, think about freshness: a sushi platter is best eaten soon after collection and kept chilled.

Plan ahead and keep chilled

For large quantities and busy periods, it is better to order ahead to ensure the availability and freshness of the platters. On the day, collect the order as close as possible to service time, keep the platters chilled and take them out shortly before sitting down. These few precautions guarantee sushi at its best, an essential condition for this kind of delicate preparation.

Around the table, Arras within reach

Avenue Winston Churchill connects the north-west of Arras with the rest of the city. A few minutes away by car, the Grand'Place and the Place des Héros unfold their Flemish façades beneath the UNESCO-listed belfry. A sushi platter taken home can thus round off a day of shopping or sightseeing, or liven up improvised drinks, with that freshness from Japan that contrasts nicely with the generosity of Northern cooking.
