Holy abundance of lunch choices Batman! By chance I found myself in Promenades de la Cathedrale on my lunch break so I wandered into Olly Fresco's because it looked like an interesting lunch option and I'm glad I did because it was a good find. This urban cafeteria has it all from hot meals to lighter, cold fare like salads.
The space is huge and is split up into several sections. There is a pasta bar, sandwich counter, grill, buffet and grab and go section. The main thing that draws me to this place is that they have a good selection of healthy food. The buffet contains items like lasagna, butter chicken, grilled vegetables. If you are looking for something lighter then they have an excellent selection of salads and sandwiches. Don't worry though they do have a sizable dessert selection in case you're in the mood for something not so healthy. The food quality was also pretty good. My steak quesadilla was pretty decent. Sure it wasn't as tasty as what I would get if I were in a Mexican restaurant but it was just fine for lunch and it was a pretty sizable portion. There was a fair bit of meat and vegetables in it.
The price is highly variable depending on what you order although on average you can expect it to be competitive with the downtown food court. A steak quesadilla, soft drink and brownie came to about $12. The hot meals will generally cost more and they do have more expensive drinks like mineral water so while you can have an affordable lunch it is also easy to get carried away with the cost.
The place gets very busy at lunch so expect it to be crowded if you go. They certainly do their best to handle the crowds but given the volume of people you might experience a bit of a wait. I also found that due to the layout of the store and the number of people it was hard to navigate through the crowds at times. If you can try and take a later lunch to avoid the masses of people that descend on this place when noon hits.
