Restaurant Review Friday — Fete Accompli

21st May, 2010 - Posted by carsi - 2 Comments

Fete Accompli started off as a catering company, but it now offers lunch and dinner for pick up from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m Mon-Fri. They utilize seasonal and local foods whenever possible, so that makes for very fresh tasting fare. Also, I saw on facebook, through VegAustin.com (a great resource for Austin vegetarian restaurants), that Fete Accompli now has Vegan Mondays, so I went ahead and tried it out this week. Although it’s a small take-out store, the place is very bright and sunny, and there are a few tables outside for sitting with umbrellas for shade. The staff was very helpful and everything was served in biodegradable containers–always a bonus! As for the menu options, they had several hot and cold sandwiches to choose from, including a vegan bbq sandwich that I was tempted to try and will hopefully go back for in the future. The other menu option was to pick four of the several salads that were on display in the case next to the counter, plus a cookie. I opted for the salad selection because there were so many yummy looking options, but it was hard to choose just four. I picked out the beet salad, a mushroom and quinoa salad, garlic roasted zucchini, and steamed greens, plus an oatmeal cookie. The no-egg tofu salad looked really good too, but that will just have to be another one to try out next time. Everything was so colorful and fresh and delicious; I’m bummed my pictures didn’t come out. If you’d like to see pics of some of the food, VegAustin.com’s facebook page has quite a few on their wall. At about $10 with tax and tip, it wasn’t the cheapest lunch you could find, but it was definitely worth the price for such a quality meal.
