I was drawn to the idea of eating at The Beet when I heard that all the eggs, meat, cheese and produce are certified organic, and sourced from local farmers whenever possible. Additionally, they carry imported items that are Certified Fair Trade, use eco friendly packaging and the restaurant space is decorated with reclaimed materials. Why is this important to note when selecting a place to eat (besides the obvious)? Well, if they care this much about the quality of ingredients and such, then they'll likely cook a delicious meal!
I had the "house favourite" Loaded Avocado Combo: 1/2 an avocado stuffed with brown coconut Thai rice and veggies, topped with spicy peanut sauce, avocado, sprouts, with salad, toast with house pesto and daily soup (which was tomato).... Simple ingredients, but a satisfying lunch. My dining partner had the Roasted Beets and Apple Salad (with goat cheese, pickled onions, tamari roasted seeds, and balsamic maple vinaigrette) as well as a side of Mac n Cheese...but it was prepared with gluten-free rice and quinoa macaroni in a Quebec cheddar sauce, topped with gluten free breadcrumbs, hemp hearts and pickled jalapeños. I tasted it and it was creamy and delicious...and I didn't miss the gluten one bit! :)
The Beet also serves coffee, smoothies and fresh pressed juices - so even if you don't stop in for a meal, it's a good "grab and go" spot.

I love the food at The Beet. You can taste the freshness and the quality in the dishes plus the portions are really generous.I like going to brunch and having the Heuvos Rancheros but I have also had their wraps and salads which are just as yummy!One of my favourite spots in the city!
