"Ok, I know I should be leary of salad bars right now with all of the coronavirus fright going on but I can't resist the salad bar at La Provence in the White Plains Bloomingdales store! Usually I will get a lunch entree off of the menu which automatically comes with a small plate for the salad bar. I always really enjoy the food at the salad bar and can barely eat my meal when it comes because I am already full! On my last visit there, it was late and I knew I'd be going home to sit and eat dinner only a few hours later, so I wanted to eat lighter since I also had a long drive ahead of me. I decided to go for their salad bar option, where they give you a larger plate for the salad bar and then you can have either soup or the famous Forty Carrots froyo to compliment your meal. I think this is the way to go for me going forward. I was able to enjoy the fresh salad and foods from the salad bar that I love, with a little treat of froyo at the end (which I never end up getting when I opt for the meal because I'm usually way too stuffed). What I love about the salad bar is there is so many options for salad- usually greens, bean salad, macaroni or potato salad, and other options as well. Many dressings and toppings as usual in a salad bar, and then there's always a hot option which is usually chicken wings or meatballs. My favorite part though? The POPOVERS!! Yum! Not many places make popovers and they make me very happy in all their carby glory. I've also had their steak quesadilla, Orchard Chicken Wrap, Short Rib French Dip, which were all delicious and perfectly paired and made. Their hot chocolate is super chocolatey and sweet, it hit the spot on a cold day. My beverage of choice to accompany my meal is always the Shoppers Brew, basically the Bloomingdale's Arnold Palmer. 5/5"
