| - When your eyes roll to the back of your head because your tastebuds have hit the limits of a heavenly lunch you never thought possible in a mall food court, you know you've found a "go to" lunch spot. Urban Herbivore made my urban heart flutter.
First, the option of an uber healthy lunch (and knowing that one of these existed in Kensington Market) was what captured my attention and got me to stand in line (a short one at that). Secondly, the fresh, colourful display of ingredients behind squeaky clean glass is what drew me in closer.
I scanned the menu and was really in the mood for something disgustingly healthy. Grain Bowl? Intriguing. You choose a base, brown rice or quinoa and lentils! Sold. Hook me up. WhaT?! I get SIX ingredients to add to it! This was my first grain bowl experience/ingredient pick: Quinoa & Lentil base, dill cucumbers, cooked beets, roasted red peppers, kidney bean salad, marinated red cabbage and HALF an avocado. Not a teaspoon or avocado with filler...I said HALF of a beautiful, pastel green, creamy, ripe avocado. And why yes, I'd love some sunflower seeds sprinkled on top. Citrus Herb dressing please (light on the quantity).
At $9.50 it's pretty standard for downtown lunching (or anywhere in the city for that matter). BUT, you could totally split it with someone or divvy it up and eat it over two days. I loved the customer service. I loved the food. And I will be back and telling everyone about it.
Awesome job Urban Herbivore.
