Since moving back, I find it VERY difficult to find restaurants that either 1.) provide veg-friendly menu items or 2.) are willing to accommodate my food allergies and choices (vegan). But I'm ALWAYS up to try something new, so this weekend it was on the list. 121 Bistro is tucked away in Lake Charles, and honestly I'd have missed it if a friend hadn't suggested we dine there. At first glance, the menu was very limited to me... so I held my breath as I asked the server about altering a few dishes to accommodate my vegan needs. "No problem at all!" was the response. WHAT?! No problem?! I'd grown accustom to "No" and that's it. This was a very welcome surprise. Not only was it not a problem, the chef came to the table to see how the food was. Very nice touch. My meal was amazing (basic penne pasta in olive oil base with tons of fresh veggies) and my friend's steak was delish (so I was told)... and the service was terrific. I'll definitely be back when in the area. Maybe they will stay open the idea of incorporating some veg-friendly menu items for future consideration? :) ~ Christina
