| - "Feel good during and after eating" - that's Camros Organic Eatery's motto. Think about that for a second.
Right? So many times we gorge ourselves on food only to feel uncomfortably bloated and unwell afterwards. If not immediately, then within a few hours. I'm happy to report that this was not the case at Camros, and the accolades from Yelp, NOW, Eye Weekly and scores of handwritten customer reviews backed up their claims. Even the name "Camros" is purposeful. It's a spirited bird from ancient Persian mythology that gathers seeds of life and brings them to people for nourishment and enjoyment. How quaint.
Everything at Camros is organic, vegetarian, gluten free, sugar and dairy free (WAIT! DON'T STOP READING!). They soak their grains and legumes prior to increase digestability and pair interesting flavours together to create the most interesting combinations.
I ordered the Autumn Soup with a half serving of the lima bean stew and quinoa salad with tzatziki. The soup was hands down my favourite and had the most incredible flavours - I wish I was eating it right this minute. Noodles (brown rice, but who could tell?), carrots, chickpeas, green peas, potatoes, tomatoes, turmeric, cayenne and lots of fresh dill.
Another great thing about Camros is that all the ingredients for specials are listed next to the names so those with allergies, sensitivities or on detoxes can choose accordingly.
I was left stuffed - but not uncomfortably so - for $9 including tax.
One final note - Camros is closed on weekends and is more of a lunch counter/walkup spot. Don't come here on a date or with a group of 20 people.
