I’ve learnt not to expect vegetarian miracles when eating at French restaurants. In between the snails, beef, lamb, trout, pheasant, deer and cock there is rarely anything for vegetarians to be cheery about. So it was with the Little Snail.

The set $25 three course lunch menu offered some choice. There were three choices of vegetarian entrees and no choice of vegetarian mains.

I ordered a crepe with mushroom sauce for the entree. For my main, I ordered the entree pasta – as a main. The penne came with a tomato sauce which I am happy to say was edible, if unmemorable.

The only other vegetarian entree that was available was a salad of cold pickled vegetables. Next time I go, if I don’t want to eat the same meal, I’ll have to try that. Alternatively, I guess I could reverse the order of the menu and have entree pasta with a crepe main. You get the picture.

The good news was that none of the desserts appeared to contain any meat. I had a crème brulee, which was pretty good.

Not a great spot for vegetarians though: V-ware.
