| - I love Lola's Kitchen. It is one of my first picks when I'm looking for a "healthy-esq" dining experience in the Church- Wellesley area.
What to eat:
I've tried almost the entire menu, these are a few of my favourite picks:
- California Bowl ($15) - purple and black kale, organic quinoa OR brown rice, avocado, sundried tomatoes, toasted organic nuts and seeds, grilled organic tofu and sweet cider vinaigrette. I like to add either grilled chicken ($4.5) or roasted salmon ($8) for an extra kick of protein. When I'm feeling extra hungry I will also add in beets to the salad. This is definitely my go to dish - fulfills all your macro nutrients and portion size is large enough to have for leftovers.
- Burger OR Lamb Burger ($17-$19) - 100% local burgers. I order the burger on a gluten free bun (~$3?). The burger meat is legit - thick and a juicy, all round really enjoyable burger. The burgers are also served with tasty fries or a salad.
- Fresh juices ($3/6) - The juice selection change seasonally. I really enjoy the spiced pear juice or the ginger and beet juice. I usually order a small juice with a bottle of carbonated water and combine the two together for a carbonated fresh fruit juice!
- Desserts - Carrot Cake or Vanilla Bean Cheesecake - All desserts are vegan and super delish. Gluten free options are available. Portion size of cakes are definitely shareable!
What else to know:
- Sweet front patio seating opened in summer. Lots of umbrellas for shade, only negative are all the beautiful flower beds surrounding the patio, they become a major bee magnet.
- Although price of menu items are steeper than fellow neighbours - the quality of the food is on point.
- Be warned, the two seat tables long the south wall of the restaurant are on an uneven floor, request for alternative seating if you don't fancy feeling slanted the entire meal.
- Can get busy during lunch hour and dinner hours - best to make a reservation!
