| - A newish addition to the burgeoning Junction strip, The Beet offers a selection of simple and nutritious mostly local, organic menu items, created by pooling the culinary creativity of a naturopath and a nutritionist.
Where things can't be sourced locally, they choose fair trade items. And the sustainable focus is apparent not only in the menu, but in the decor - tabletops are made from bamboo or pressed sunflower seed husk, and reclaimed furniture and decor can be found throughout. Lighting is mostly natural, and toilets have 2 low- and high-water flush options, depending on, well... you know.
Brunch is kinda nice - egg dishes, seed pate and veggie sandwiches, some organic meat sides, a few south american and asian twists. All baked goods are gluten free and vegan, but much much better than the usual paperweights that result from those kind of experiments in muffin making. And the coffee and smoothies are great.
The atmosphere is cheery and the staff friendly. All 'round it's a good neighbourhood joint, where you can hang for a while, either in the sunny main area, or on the lovely little side patio.
