Rest'o

As soon as I walked in the door at Rest'o, I knew I was in for something special. A weekday lunch crowd was already tucked into the small (10 table?) dining room, and from the way the proprietor greeted clients, most were clearly locals and frequent customers. The chalkboard menu listed three lunch options, two of which had cheese. I asked if the daily special had cheese, and was assured it was vegan. I sat down, and was soon brought a carafe of fresh mint-infused water, followed by some delicious bread. Next came a glass of wine and the piece de resistance: The daily special. (see photo!) What a wonderful experience! Every component--from the tiny bowl of veg stew to the stuffed tomato to the petite roulade--was brimming with flavor. The sauces were divine, with hints of curry, coconut, an mystery flavors I couldn't identify. Flavors were so rich, and I was assured that the creamy sauces were made with soy yogurt and tofu creme. The woman who served me explained that all the desserts were vegan and gluten free, so I settled on the chocolate-pear tart. It was rich and chocolatey, with a crunchy crust. Rest'o will be my haunt the next time I visit Bordeaux!

I loved it, all of it! Slim and Akane are just the best. The food wad original and very good! most of the desserts were vegan (with agar agar).

Open for lunch on Monday-friday and only on friday evening (8pm-10h30pm)
