If you're looking for a quick lunch in the 9th arrondissement, you can choose between burgers, fries and pasta... It's not the best, and our health capital takes a hit. So why not opt for a healthy, balanced diet? PH7 Equilibre is a restaurant offering a variety of dishes made with fresh, pesticide-free, low-acid products. We'd be wrong to deprive ourselves. It's time to make good resolutions, or continue your own by eating out for a change.
What'sacid-base balance? To put it simply, our diets these days are far too acidic, mainly due to excessive consumption of cereals, dairy products and meat, to the detriment of fruit, vegetables and other tubers that regulate our acidity. Several studies tend to prove that our modern, overly acidic diet could encourage the onset of osteoporosis and diabetes.
All this to say that choosing the right canteen for lunch can also mean good health. And if you can feel good after lunch, and avoid the tiredness you often feel one or two hours after your meal, we're all for it.
As for the decor, we love the freshness of the place: colorful, natural and welcoming. It feels like home.
As for the menu, it's short but you can be sure that the products are fresh and made on the spot. Start with a freshly squeezed fruit-vegetable juice, made to order. The recipes are original, changing daily according to market produce and the season.
For the main course, choose between L'essentielle and L'alcalinisante. The first is a plate offering 7 flavors, and the second, more gourmet, a dozen. Cold? The restaurant also offers its soup of the day, a healthy, vitamin-packed treat.
The plates on offer are full of flavor, enhanced by a variety of seasonings and spices reminiscent of India. On the day of our visit, we were treated to carrots with cumin, grated beet, red cabbage, hummus, melted leek and more... The plate combined hot and cold, with hot rice, lentils and quinoa joining the raw vegetables. A lovely contrast of textures and flavors, and a most complete plate, we were more than satisfied.
To round off the meal, why not opt for the dessert of the day. On this particular day, a melting carrot cake, bluffing chocolate mousse (lactose-free) and coconut milk panna cotta caught our eye. A real treat!
At PH7, we're all about healthy, unprocessed products that go well together. In short, good food every day.
