Le cinquième jour’s menu is based on local products only. We always offer an omnivore and a vegetarian offer: the menu is composed of 3 courses for lunch and 8 courses for dinner. the menu changes every week for lunch and every month for dinner, although some changes may occur upon availability and season.

What about my dietary habit?

Why “le cinquième jour”?
Because every 5th day of our week, every Saturday morning, we open the door of our restaurant for people in need, homeless and refugees, for free. This is our way to solve the problem of foodwaste and social exclusion in our community and in the restaurant business. This is our way of being sustainable: socially, economically and environmentally. And it is only thanks to you that this is possible: by coming eating at le cinquième jour you contribute to this project of social inclusion and circular economy. Thanks for your support.
