I had that amazing light organic quinoa salad in Lebanon. The ingredients are nutritious and filling. The quinoa is mixed with seeds of all kind along with organic veggies. Opt for that salad on a detox week.

As I was having lunch in one of the restaurants in France and was not in the mood for meat, I ordered that tuna steak and it turned out to be very nice and filling.
Tuna is a good alternative to meat as it is high in proteins and vitamins.
Whenever I am in France I try all the possible versions of croque monsieur as it happens to be my favorite meal! That specific Croc’ is prepared with goat cheese and pesto in a bistrot next to the Marais area .I really enjoyed it and made sure to avoid a creamy desert at the end because it is a meal already high in fat.
La Vague D’or is a very nice five stars Michelin restaurant at Hotel La Residence de La Pinede in Saint Tropez. It is one of the fanciest dining experience I had. Each dish is presented very nicely as they turn simple ingredients such as asparagus and fennel into fancy bites. I ordered a garden salad with a fish tartare and I can assure you that every bite makes your palate travel to the four corners of the world. My salad was prepared with seasonal veggies,the ultimate secret to crunchiness.We also enjoyed cheese and lard crusts as an appetizer which I found very unique.Some meals come in two parts for your taste buds to experience all the flavors of the ingredients.
Summer is the best season to enjoy fresh food such as salads and juices. Salads can be sometimes low in nutrients if they are chosen with no protein or carbohydrates. Nicoise salad is a complete meal and a good choice during vacation.Ask for the dressing aside and add some olive oil and vinegar.
That salad is at the Dior boutique in Saint Tropez.
I am literally in love with bread;baguette,wholewheat,whole grain,sesame,walnut and much more varieties.I always questioned myself on the purpose of bread in restaurants.As I read some articles on that topic ,I found out that it is actually in relation to old habits in taverns where people use to have one meal per day at a fixed price and had to fill up with bread. Another plausible explanation was that the bread basket is here to keep people busy while waiting for their meal and also as a welcome gesture to customers.
