| - Maybe I loved this because I had no expectations, but I think Laloux really is a stellar spot. It's relatively small, isn't trying too hard, but manages to execute very well on food at a rather reasonable price point.
We stuck with a seafood heavy meal (a salmon, roe, sea app, arctic char with whelks and eggplant, and a local mackerel with gnocchi), swayed by the sustainability of the options, and only the appetizer wasn't a huge success. The japanese eggplant, served under the char, was literally mind blowing. If someone offered me a plate of just that, I would be more than happy: luxurious in texture, perfectly seasoned.
The wine list is fairly interesting, reasonable. They ended the meal with miniature caneles on the house, which I didn't try, but looked like a solid version.
Minus one because: there were a ton of bugs outside which I think could be partially scared off by some kind of candle/treatment and our server, while very nice, seemed to disappear, so was rather slow.
