La Festina Lente

Grenoble


In a setting somewhere between your great-aunt's living room and a garden centre, this grungy but loveable cafe offers mostly vegetarian and vegan set lunches, mostly platters of taster dishes like soup, savoury crumbles, salads and cheese. Produce is all organic and locally sourced, while hand-stitched place settings and one-of-a-kind curios create a nostalgic atmosphere
