Pardon que la revue est en Anglais.
We wanted to try this place, as it seems to be the only true vegetarian restaurant in the area. It has very limited hours in the sense that it is closed by dinnertime. So, you can only come for breakfast or lunch.
We came for lunch, and my bf made a rez, as he heard that it gets busy. It was a good thing because, when we arrived, there was only one table open and it was the one that we had reserved.
I read the other review, so thought I should balance it out a bit. So you can decide for yourself when you go.
I speak very limited French, so I was mostly relying on my bf to help translate and fill in the blanks. Our waitress noticed, and said that she speaks English, if that would be easier. I very much appreciated that I was able to discuss the menu with her in English.
Their options are limited, since they prepare everything based on the local ingredients available that day and in that season. As such, many items will be repeated for several days, but then they might change as the offerings and seasons change.
We had the beet and ginger soup as an entree. The color of the soup was a lovely magenta, and you could taste the underlying pungent ginger flavor. For le plat principal, I ordered the salad with phyllo-wrapped veggies, and my bf got the salad with the tomato quinoa (I can't eat tomatoes, so I was glad to have the alternative option). We both enjoyed our meals. The food was definitely not packed with flavors; but it had the clean and pure flavors of the originating veggie or grain.
The service was pretty quick, but not rushed. We hung around for quite a while after the lunch rush and ordered the gluten free lemon-poppy cake and gf chocolate chip cookie. Both were very delicious. They clearly mark which pastries are gf, vegan, and vegetarian, and have many options.
So - I'd say, definitely come here and try it out. And I recommend making a rez if you want to go during prime time.
