| - I was eager to try out Foodchain as it a new concept. I went on a Friday evening and only two customers were in the restaurant, ordering is super quick and they'll start making your order right away. I believe you can only pay by card, either debit or credit. You had the option of adding an Extra to your salad for 4$ either quinoa, tofu, legumes/beans or sunflower shoots. I skipped this option to try a salad as it is meant to be. The menu is only 8 salads and a few did not appeal to me right from the start. I went with cucumber and pickle, not your regular salad that's for sure.
This is a salad without lettuce, the veggies are cut on the bias which gives you different sizes of vegetables. It made it easy to pick out the red onion on my part. The mint in this salad really gave it a fresh taste, it was really tasty. The turnip adds a nice fresh crunch to this. I enjoyed the mustard dressing that had a real "clear up your sinuses" kick to it. The seeds packet included adds a nice crunch to your meal. At first I thought the salad was small, it filled only about half the bowl but once I finished it, I can say it was a good portion.
The only sad part was the pain magique, although it wasn't bad, it surely wasn't magic. I will try it again but mine seemed undercooked, the texture felt too chewy. I am a true Mandy's fan and I feel like you can't compare these two restaurants because Foodchain has no lettuce in their salads. I truly enjoyed my meal and look forward to going back and try a new salad combination.
