After exploring Notre Dame we went to Le Grenier de Notre-Dame for some lunch. We tried the white bean cassoulet - white beans, tomato sauce with herbs, mixed tofu baked with bread crumbs and peppers. We ordered this and it was instantly brought to the table which was a little disconcerting. I mean do they just have everything hot in the back waiting for someone to order it? It was probably a max of 2 min from time of order till it got to our table. For a restaurant that is kind of expensive I expect them to actually cook food not just have food heated in the back all day. So overlooking the odd timing we tried it out and...it was not good. The beans were still hard - they definitely needed to be soaked and cooked longer. Besides that it didn't really have any flavor. It was...not good.
