Lateral cafe is a restaurant near the Arc De Triomphe. It is a casual cafe with a variety of salads, sandwiches, and main dishes. The food here was pretty good, and the restaurant itself looked quite nice. There was a large outdoor patio, but it was also quite smokey.

Dress

Casual - shorts and t-shirt are fine.

Cost

Most dishes were 10-20€.

Service

The menus were all translated into English (although with poor grammar) and our waiter also spoke English fairly well.

Items Ordered

Boule De Mozzarella "Di Buffala"

Mozzarella on it's puree tomatoes in the basil, Caramel with the balsamic vinegar
Cost:10.50€

The mozzarella was fresh and delicious. It came served on a cold tomato sauce which was kind of weird. This appetizer would have been better with fresh tomatoes. We were also served some French bread which was good for dipping in the sauce.

La Cabrita

Green salad, country ham, grapes, tomatoes, fresh goat's milk cheese spreaded on country bread, olive oil and fine herbs.
Cost:13€

The country ham was a cold cut of fatty meat, and was not to my taste. I was excited to try out this salad because it listed grapes in the ingredients, but there were no grapes in the salad (although they may have been in the dressing). The salad was mostly greens. The dressing was a bit sweet, and there was way too much of it on the salad. Although the salad was a bit disappointing, the toasted bread with goat cheese, olive oil, and herbs was delicious!

Filet Mignon De Porc

Grilled pork filet mignon with pepper of espelette
Cost:15.50€

The meal was lacking some vegetables. The meat was decent. I think it was served in the dish it was cooked in. The potatoes were disappointing. They were very plain and dry and weren't served with anything.
