For drinks, you have a fountain in the middle of the restaurant where you can choose either still, sparkling or flavoured water. For dessert, there's also a buffet with fromage blanc, coulis, brownies, etc. and couple of different ice creams too. If you want to have lunch there in the weekdays, avoid 12:30 - 1:30 as there's a lot of offices around so it's full of people and expect queueing.

Can't say I wasn't disappointed when the group I had made dinner plans with all voted for Salad and…read moreCo. The issue was I just couldn't wrap my head around the idea of eating salad for dinner. I'm used to salad being the thing the restaurant gives me for free on the side of my main dish, or maybe if it's a really good salad with some kind of exotic shark meat in it I'll order it as a starter. But salad unto itself? As a final destination as opposed to merely a means to an end? And for the second most sacred meal of the day no less? Can't think of many things more depressing than that as far as culinary experiences go. Besides, why pay that much money for all you can eat salad when there's this new restaurant that just opened in the same neighborhood. It's called Rice & Co. Similar concept, only instead of all you can eat salad it's all you can eat...that's right, you've guessed it: rice. They've got white rice, brown rice, fried rice, sticky rice, pretty much all the rices. Check it out!

One found, you will have bleeding cornea: the sign is written in Comic Sans MS, trainee job! Normally it would be a sufficient argument for me to step back but I acted as I didn't see anything. I got a 2 meats sandwich, goat cheese, pepper sauce and 3 different ingredients. It was really good, everything seemed fresh, the bread tasted good too. Well, actually, it must do because it's as expensive as a Subway (and at Subway you have crisps and a drink) and its barely half the size. And if you go there, keep in mind that you'll probably take away as there's a very limited number of seats inside and outside.

I have never had quiche like that in the US. It was so good and they were so kind we came back later for a snack before getting on the train. Sadly, they were out of the soup we sampled in the morning but their salad and sweet treats were delicious. We are so happy we stumbled into this place and only wish we could take them back to the US with us!
