The place is beautiful, but the vegan menu not at all. I'm sorry that such a renowned, stylish and quality restaurant is not up to date. Presenting only vegetables as an appetizer and passing off a second course as a meager side dish of vegetables I found absurd. I haven't seen a protein yet a second should consist of a protein. No strange vegan products were needed, legumes would have been enough to create an infinite number of dishes (pies, savory muffins, legume meatballs, porridge, hummus, etc). But no. Only and always vegetables. Moreover, the second course was identical to the appetizer, a minimum of inventiveness even with the vegetables, right?! I was taken aback because a chef should make his job his specialty, it is inadmissible not to be able to prepare a vegan menu in 2022 (when this choice is clearly taken by many, myself included, due to the pollution that intensive farming causes) and continuing to demonize legumes like this won't get us far. There are a thousand thousand vegetable proteins of which there was not even a shadow in any course on my menu yesterday. Vegans don't just eat vegetables. That has passed, though. Furthermore, out of two first courses (the only decent ones) only one was appreciable and tasty (the ravioli), as the rice seemed plain and white. I didn't stay hungry, but I wasn't at all satisfied with the mentality that I still see today as not being open at all. Know that tofu, seitan, tempeh and all the other soy derivatives are perfectly replaceable by legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peas and flours of all the same ones just mentioned) which: 1) everyone eats; 2) lend themselves very well to a thousand particular preparations, such as pies and meatballs. But this the chef should have known. I write it here for the future, in the hope that things can change. For yesterday, however, absolutely rejected!
