A restaurant in Paris operated by staff with Down's syndrome is offering three-course meals for €1 to the city's impoverished students.

Le Reflet, in the third arrondissement, launched its special student offer last week. Every Thursday and Friday, it offers 50 three-course lunchtime meals for struggling students, prepared on a voluntary basis by the staff, using locally supplied fresh ingredients.

The restaurant, which has been closed since the second lockdown in November, reopened last week for the first time on a click-and-collect takeaway basis specifically to help students.

The offer has proved so popular, its meals for next week have already sold out. for its next available menus on February 18/19 and 25/26.

On Friday, students who had booked their meals were offered pumpkin soup to start; followed by a choice of roast chicken with baked potato or roast sweet potato and salad, or Pilaf-style bulgur, tomato sauce and salad; and a cream puff for dessert.
