Been to Baton Rouge but am looking for somewhere else. If you fav. is at a fast food restaurant then I want to know about that too. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Probably cheaper than hearty salads at fast-food places (I imagine, never frequent them, having cheap options such as Terrasse Lafayette etc) and much better. The village salad is assorted vegetables; not the Greek salad with feta, hence you won't get any protein beyond what is in the veg. You can order a chicken souvlaki stick (without the pita) or some feta if you are counting carbs. A light meal salad I'm very fond of is the salade de chèvre chaud (served with crottins de chèvre on baguette croûtons, not the mild fresh cheese English-speaking people call "chevre"). Haven't found any outstanding ones here though. I'm sure someone on this board has!

It was the Summer Salad and it had avacado, chicken, grilled peppers, mushrooms, onion, cranberries, strawberries, lettuce, tomato and cucumber and I'm sure it had a few other things that I can't seem to recall, they also had a great salad on the table d'hote; grilled vegetables with a warm almond encrusted goat cheese. I wanted to post about the great service there as well. Fri Jul 06 16:21:02 -0700 2007 2725706 81455 montrealbelle 1 2726314 mesquite will give you a wonderful blackened salmon salad with an enormous piece of fish for $9.99 i believe. Monkland tavern also has decent salad.

I've had a few of their salads & am looking forward to my next visit. Sun Jul 08 11:08:57 -0700 2007 2725075 43126 RhondaB 1 2729736 Salade Lyonnaise at M sur Masson was a real thrill for me. Salade gourmande at Lemeac is also excellent and substantial. I actually eat the salade Nicoise from Alexandre 2-4 times per week. Sometimes it's amazing but once in a while it is crap--the variance is amazing. When its good, its really good. Asparagus, green beans, baby tomatoes, boiled potato and egg, canned tuna topped with anchovies (can't be a real Nicoise without them). And the bread is awesome. Does anybody know where Alexandre gets their baguette?

Sun Jul 08 20:36:06 -0700 2007 2725075 14181 celfie 2 2731243 Same business plan (but even better salad IMHO) can be found at Laitue & Go near the Renaud-Bray in Place-Ville Marie. Thelonious Mon Jul 09 04:25:21 -0700 2007 2730839 97533 thelonious777 2 2732062 It's called Chop Crazy. I like their Cobb salad, but find in general, it's a bit pricey for what you're getting. Mon Jul 09 09:30:25 -0700 2007 2730839 48563 mainsqueeze 1 2741069 I really love the salads at La Faim du Monde. They're not fast-food cheap, but they're huge, mostly (completely?) organic, and have somewhat out of the ordinary ingredients. For example, they often include a bit of raw chard or beet greens, which adds a pleasant bite. Wed Jul 11 15:39:08 -0700 2007 2725075 104313 paperfree
