This tiny soup and smoothie bar on the Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau is perfect if you're on-the-go and looking for a healthy alternative to the myriad kabob spots that litter Centre Ville. The hot meal items change daily, but you can almost always expect a chicken, beef, or pork dish served on white rice with sauce. The curry chicken is a personal favorite. Aside from the fresh, hot entrees, you can choose from a variety of smoothies and fresh-squeezed juices. There is also a selection of ready-made refrigerated items including salads, sandwiches, and sides. You can't go wrong with the steamed lentils seasoned with white wine and, you guessed it, Dijon mustard.
The staff ne parle pas anglais, so stick to what looks good to you and don't ask too many questions. If you do speak French, so much the better - the owner is soft-spoken but very friendly.
As a college student abroad, this was my go-to lunch spot, which should speak to its convenience and affordability. If you do end up going, see if you can spy a Texas flag. It was a gift to the restaurant from this reviewer.
