baiguelles!
So, one of the hip new restauranting trends in France is: bagels. Yes, bagels. Little American-imitation bagel shops have opened all around Lyon, with sleek interiors and bread products that certainly appear to be "bagels." They have toppings like peanut butter and nutella advertised in the windows, but I have yet walked into one to see if they have cream cheese on the menu. But now I can do this much easier, since a bagel restaurant has just opened up a block away from us, right next to the Subway (which itself is so bizarre in a country with such good baguettes, why settle for the crappy ones at Subway?).
This bagel restaurant is called uBagel. Its interior is all black veneer wood, sharp angled lamps and glass. I would stop to tell them that the decor is thoroughly wrong for a bagel shop if only there weren't a far more pressing error. The motto on the logo outside is in English and says: All is in the hole. I facepalmed. Not only is it ungrammatical, but even if it were the correct "It's all in the hole", it would be disturbingly suggestive and thoroughly inappropriate as a logo.
