• Sustainable, seasonal, organic...but just alright

I booked a table for one (boo hoo) and headed along one lunchtime (10/8/13) to check this place out. It looks great with its stone walls and soft lighting and it's a decent size and located in the fashionable Croix Rousse. I ordered three courses and started with a cabbage 'caviar' (of which I'll try to upload a picture) which came presented as a round moulded substance accompanied by bread. Unfortunately it was just a bit watery and not flavoursome enough for my liking. Next was a civet. Not the animal - although traditionally the gastronomic civet was animal flesh cooked in animal blood - but vegetables cooked in red wine. This was a bit ordinary for me and depended in the flavour of the wine, which I didn't really like, and was otherwise just plain veges. For dessert I had a vanilla verrine, a layered dessert served in a glass, with a granola. This was pretty nice and not overly sweet. I had also ordered coffee (with rice milk) - which was fair trade (yay!) - but unfortunately it was lukewarm.The staff here were lovely but the food for me was only average and the price was a bit higher than I'd have wanted.
