A vegetarian lunch at French Laundry
For the uninitiated, French Laundry isĀ one of the best restaurants in the world. I got a chance to try the tasting menu. IĀ had a vegetarian, orĀ to be precise, a lacto-vegetarianĀ (milk and cheese but not eggs) meal here. The restaurant looks nondescript from the outside, and it is easy to miss it while driving. It was an 8-10 course meal, depending on how you count a course. Portion sizes were small but delicious. And there was a gap of about 15-20 mins before each serving. So, a commitment of 3-4 hours for the full course.
