The Boxwood Café was a great choice for tasty local seasonal and sustainable food dishes. I had the pleasure of dining with my parents, a rare occasion when you get older, it seems. I decided to try the Ocean Wise Steelhead Trout, priced at $19.00, a delicious dinner. Importantly, this café sources their Trout from Vancouver Island,…
For my lunch, I picked the Lamb Kibbeh: grilled grain-fed halal lamb patties made with vegetables, pine nuts, burghul and aromatic spices. It was also served with hummus, salad, pickled cabbage, olives, pita and organic brown rice (other option: roasted potatoes). The green hot sauce was optional, but it should be mandatory. It was wicked awesome!…
I was lucky enough to be in the great company of the very creator of Healthy Dine Out as we decided to go to a new restaurant neither of us had been to. So we checked out the menu from The Yellow Door and decided that we should check it out for the full experience!…

I asked for the healthiest dish of food from the really friendly men that work there, and they suggested the chicken breast meal would be a great option. What an incredible…

The salad was very fresh with almost a half a head of romaine lettuce, with sun-dried tomatoes, blue cheese, avocado, bacon bits, lardon egg, and dill buttermilk dressing on top. There might have been a few pickled onions, as well. It was a…
I have to say The Raw Bar’s Lemongrass Coconut Braised Chicken Curry was a feast for the eyes. The colours in this dish made it that much more amazing to marvel at, and consume. There were locally sourced potatoes, rainbow carrots, sugar snap peas, and there was the most tender chicken within the lemongrass coconut curry…
I’m in love with healthy soups, and the warmth they bring during the winter months. I had the pleasure of having lunch at Primal Soup Co., recently. Here’s what I had… The Turkey Sandwich with a bowl of Tomato Basil soup and it was all very delicious. They used their homemade signature bread for the…
Salmon Lox Buckwheat Crepe – Rustique Bistro I am in love with this little Bistro on Bowen Island. Everything about it is lovely. Where to start! The foods they use in their dishes are as locally sourced as possible, and the quality is excellent. While visiting Bowen Island, I went to this restaurant two times.…
