Being vegan sometimes means making sacrifices. It means forgetting the pleasures of a good meal with friends in a restaurant. They say. It's forgetting the pleasure of sitting on a terrace and freely choosing your snack, without assailing the waiter with a thousand questions about the composition of this or that dish. They say. In short, it's a headache. So they say. That's all in the past.
Brasserie Lola is one of those places that gives the lie to clichés about the vegan lifestyle. At first glance, it looks totally ordinary: a large space, a nice terrace, a cosy decor... But it's not until the menu that you start to have doubts. Caesar salads, risotto, even hot dogs... but don't be fooled. This seemingly ordinary restaurant is in fact a 100% vegan brasserie. That's right!
The menu changes regularly, but is always a promise of flavors. Creative salads such as the salade chaude composée? A good risotto? A burger perhaps? Oh, and why not a wok? You're likely to find it all in this unique brasserie. Just because we're vegans doesn't mean we have to give up culinary diversity. And it continues right through to dessert, with a delicious tarte tatin or apple tart that could almost trump your grandmother's recipe.
And of course, when you think of brasserie, you think of cocktails. And do you know what? Here there's as much creativity in the glasses as in the plates! Case in point? The Sorbet Maison Framboise, Grains de Framboises and Vodka. As pretty to look at as it is delicious in the mouth! And if you want to keep it soft, you can opt for a freshly squeezed juice, or even a very tasty cappuccino... vegan.
So, what are we waiting for?
