Don’t miss the chance to try the:
Pineapple Mango Smoothie
Whenever you want to sip on all the best tropical flavors, just order up the Pineapple Mango Smoothie. To make this tasty drink, the chef blends fresh pineapple, mango, and banana chunks. After that’s smooth, they add coconut milk before finishing it off with local honey.
Market Cheese Plate
If you’re in a sharing mood, it’s always a good idea to start your meal with the Market Cheese Plate. This tasty appetizer starts with three assorted kinds of cheese, sliced thin. Then, they add apples, salumi, crostini, pepitas, and tapenade alongside the cheese. Whole grain mustard and honey go on the plate last to finish off this picture of perfection.
A Proper BLT
For a truly robust sandwich made with care, get the aptly named, A Proper BLT. The chef builds this iconic sandwich by frying slices of pork belly until they’re perfectly crispy. Then, they put the pork on sourdough bread slathered in garlic aioli. Greens, tomato, and mustard go on next before the whole lot gets pressed until piping hot inside and crisp on the outside.
