A little cafe located in a hidden alley, Le Grain…read morede Sable is an oasis featuring organic, local, homemade vegetarian dishes with an ever-changing menu based on seasonal produce. Though expensive, it makes for.a great light lunch option, and both the restaurant space and servers are warm and inviting. On our visit, we tried all five dishes from the main menu. The cold soup of carrots with ginger/cumin and coconut milk was thick and refreshing, and the coddled egg with butternut cream was hearty and went well with the basket of bread. We also had the piping hot zucchini gratin with egg/garlic/sage; a simple herbal farro salad with tomatoes, green beans, and cucumber; and a bruschetta with a "tchoutchouka" topping of cooked onions, peppers, and tomatoes! Every dish here was freshly prepared and reflected local, seasonal produce, though I thought the seasoning could have been more refined. This is definitely one of the healthiest, earth-friendliest restaurants around that you'll find!
