For the accuracy gECOBIOndo because it is a small restaurant ECO and BIO, this little restaurant is spartan, but comfortable. The affable owner and guide you in selecting and tasting menus for all bellies and for all budgets. The ratio quality / price / quantity is satisfactory. For those who are already vegetarian or for those who are skeptical.
The menu offers choice of 3 types : the small 17 € which serves small portions 7 , the average from 21 € extra includes the main dish that is a taste of pasta in my case I have tasted a great portion of ravoli with pumpkin and walnut cream with a delicate taste and exquisite !
Then there is also wanting to exaggerate the menu ” just tell me ” from 29 € which makes it possible to ask for an encore. I mean with the menu I was fine , considering I ended on a high with an excellent sweet vegan cake with coconut and chocolate , satisfied both for flavor and for the generous slice . The portions are maybe a little scarce and not from the set menu which range of choices may be the ones for which the painful notes do not give full marks but otherwise is to be promoted.
The Geco Biondo welcomes you into its world without trying to impress. The simplicity will captivate you. Parking difficulties. Preferable book.
