In addition, it is possible to opt for meals with a modified texture, or to fit specific diets based on medical prescription. Each meal consists of a starter, a main course and a dessert.

Meals are delivered from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 and 11:30 (including public holidays) while Sunday's meal is delivered the day before.
