It’s still only street parking but there aren’t many restaurants and shops around. The place is tiny- less than ten tables. They do take reservations but the service is very disorganized. They often forget about requests or even forget to serve items. The food selection is vast- a vegan/vegetarian menu and a carnivore menu. The prices are also quite reasonable. You’ll have a full stomach after coming to Le Salbuen but you’ll also be disappointed by their service.

We ordered the Portuguese french toast, the almond butter toast, and vegan tacos which were all excellent and highly recommended. We also got the hash but it was only ok and I wouldn't order it again. The hot chocolate is also a must have. It's flavored with fresh chocolate and cinnamon and paired perfectly with my French toast.

I receive 4 small pieces of chorizo not a patty like the name suggests it is. It was very bland aside from the chorizos which were not fresh. The cilantro lime sauce was almost non existent. My mom got the duck tacos with like 2 tbsp of duck meat on each taco and it was cold. My sister got a short rib sandwich on brioche and it was okay. The lemonade I got was room temperature which was not enjoyable on a hot day. The only thing that was almost nonexistent on the plate that we really enjoyed was the hand cut fries. The restaurant in itself looks kind of dirty and the food matched the place

We got there and waited to be seated, she asked the party in front of us where they wanted to sit. For us was like, hey you can sit here.(Mind the place was empty cause it was still early) then another family came and she also asked them where they wanted to sit.We got no option. Then offered us tap water that tasted really bad. She took our order after a long wait and then when we werenot even done eating she gave us the check. When I was going to ask her for a to go cup she just walked away without sayinganything and I had to ask her again when she came with our cards back. Food wasnt bad but nothing great. I wouldn?t come back

I had checked the menu on their website and was pleasantly surprised in person to find an expanded menu with delightful options. The grilled mushroom and tofu sandwich was amazing,definitely recommend. The cafe had a nice vibe and the staff was friendly, overall a great place for lunch or dinner!
