Breakfast at Rocky Mtn Flatbread

November 21st, 2010 admin

Suzanne Fielden -Co-Owner Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co

Do you love eating pizza for breakfast ? Now you don`t have to feel guilty, you can start your day right with a selection of breakfast pizzas topped with scrambled eggs, steak, wild boar bacon, chocolate and bananas.

Executive Chef Oliver Zulauf - Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co

Rocky Mountain Flatbread co is a progressively minded pizzeria featuring all-natural, handcrafted cuisine, an idea was born recently when they had a thought of making scrambled eggs for breakfast, and since they are a pizzeria why not top the pizzas with scrambled eggs, wild boar bacon, steak or shrimp, heck they ended up going the full gamut and besides pizzas they are making omelettes, yukon gold potatoes, fruit, granola, muffins and fresh squeezed juices too!

I was in for breakfast recently and tasted a slew of great pizzas, omelets, potatoes, muffins and fresh juice! Here are a few selections of their tasty breakfast treats:

Rocky Mountain Flatbread is now open for breakfast during the weekdays beginning at 8:15am and 9am on weekends. They are located in Kitsilano at 1876 West 1st Avenue and online at www.rockymountainflatbread.ca

Advice: Nutritional guide is on the shelf for your looking pleasure. Free parking located nearby in the Kerrisdale parkade.
I have eaten here several times over the past couple of weeks, for a healthy lunch this is the place to go. I love the BBQ Chicken Wrap ($8.95) filled with romaine lettuce, tomato, corn, black beans, cucumber, cheddar & jack cheese, bbq chicken with ranch dressing; and the Chinese Chicken Wrap ($8.95) filled with spinach, mandarin oranges, cucumber, edamame, red pepper, teriyaki chicken with ginger sesame dressing and so far these are my favourite lunchtime wraps that I have been taking to go. The menu selection is extensive with all sorts of different wraps and fillings, salads, soups and chili. They make their own Healthee bagels with all sorts of breakfast and lunch toppings that can be custom made into your own bagel sandwich. You will also find muffins such as the Super Fruit Muffin ($2.50) which I have had as well along with cookies, bars and more.

Wrap To Go

On the liquid side there are Healthee smoothies, juices, and espresso beverages. I hear children sizes of wraps will be on the menu soon, so your kids or your friends kids or the kids at heart will be able to eat Healthee too!

EAST IS EAST

April 4th, 2010 admin

4413 Main St, Vancouver

Tel: 604-879-2020

Web: http://www.eastiseast.ca/

Advice: No reservations, sit anywhere you wish and have a taste of their chai.

Wild Salmon Rice Bowl

Nutty Gypsy

I’ve been coming here ever since they opened this eastside location where I love the ambience and the food. The dining room if you could call it that isn’t anything like you have seen around the city, I can’t really call it cozy but it is very unique. The wooden seats are covered with afghan rugs and the tables are made of wooden logs and the incense burns from afar. Most nights there is live music with musicians on the sitar and other eastern instruments which adds to the pleasure of dining here. I have had most of the Eastern Roti Rolls on the menu, on my most recent visit I had the delicious Wild Salmon Rice Bowl ($8.50) baked miso salmon in coconut milk, lime leaves and red/green thai curry. Also for my beverage I had one of their amazing milkshakes, the Nutty Gypsy ($4.50) made with soy milk and frozen yogurt, mixed nuts, cardamom, cinnamon, and chocolate. I am also a fan of their Turkish Chill and Himalyan High milkshakes.

ORGANIC LIVES

February 9th, 2010 admin

1829 Quebec Street, Vancouver

Phone: 604-505-4599

Web: www.organiclives.org

Advice: Ask questions and listen to the staffs recommendations of menu offerings.

All about goodness and raw organic foods is the draw here at this very large restaurant/café/store located within minutes from Olympic Village.

Open Sesame

Solar Pear Smoothie

I stopped in for lunch and had the Open Sesame ($7)– sesame onion orange bread, Mediterranean patty, cashew-mustard seed sun-dried tomato sauce, sprouts and veggies and to go along with that I had one of their very filling smoothies, the 16oz Solar Pear Smoothie –($6.99) pear, Ginger, whole ground vanilla, raspberry. I like the prepared food section of entrees that are freshly made and ready to go. If you want to enjoy a more relaxed meal then you can sit on the restaurant side and browse from a full menu of healthy offerings and be served gourmet meals. The menu features gourmet raw food and quite a selection at that, from pizzas to salads to salmon and much more. My friend tells me to try the pizza a vegetable flatbread topped with Pinoli cheese, fresh vegetables, pineapple, Peruvian sun-dried olives and fresh pesto; next time I’ll be having the pizza.

I didn’t have room for one of their luscious desserts, so next time I must try the Caramel Cinnamon Pie or the Chocolate Cashew Cheesecake. There are fresh fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, chai and more beverages.

They also carry a large selection of “super foods” (Goji, Maca, Camu Camu), olives, almonds and other good for you foods to take away.

Thai Wraps with Ginger Raisin Chutney

Thai Wraps with Ginger Raisin Chutney

If you are looking for RAW food in Vancouver then Gorilla Food is the place to go, the restaurant is fairly hidden, underground between Pender and Hastings. I had lunch with Charles, a friend of mine who is Vegan and who can appreciate the cuisine served here. I had the colorful and tasty Thai Wraps ($5) Three collard leaf wraps filled with a sprouted sunflower seed and veggie pate, sesame seasoned coleslaw and served with a ginger raisin chutney. My friend had the Green Taco ($6.50) romaine lettuce leaf taco wrap filled with a spicy chili walnut pate, fresh guacamole and salsa. The menu has a pretty good selection of colorful, nutty, healthy, proteins featuring salads, vegi burgers, pizza, falafel, appetizers and snacks, treats and sweets. Next time I want to try Chocolate Sesame Halva ($3) and the Dark Raw Chocolate Fudge ($2.50) Pure cacao and date sweetened chocolate. The fresh lineup of juices, smoothies and creamy almond shakes looked good, the people next to me at the Green Glory ($5.50) kale, apple, celery, lemon, parsley, ginger and seasonal greens; Blueberry Daze ($6.50) blueberries, bananas, hempseeds, almonds. Date. The atmosphere is relaxed and unrushed.
