Restaurant Review: The Green Gourmet

If you haven't been to the The Green Gourmet, you must check it out soon! They are an all organic and natural foods market and café, and buy from local farmers as much as possible. Walking in you see the display case on the right and a couple of chalk boards with juice, smoothie, and information on specials. Juice Bar happy hour is 3-5pm, noteworthy!

You will be warmly greeted and seated right away with menus and a beer and wine list. You can order off the menu or get anything from the display case. Peer into the display case and your mouth will start to water, so many delicious looking choices! They have a great organic wine and beer list as well as coffee, teas, juice, and smoothie selections. The hummus appetizer was ordered along with the salmon cake and Greek Salad from the display case. The hummus was thick and creamy, served with crispy hemp toast, perfect for the hearty hummus. Save a scoop if you order a burger or sandwich! The salmon cake is very good, but it's made with mostly shredded Yukon gold potato and less salmon than anticipated, more of a potato cake with salmon. The Greek salad has big chunks of cucumber, feta, onion, grape tomatoes, and shards of kalamata olive throughout.

This Examiner highly recommends the Bison Burger and chose to get it medium rare on a gluten free bun (Rudi’s Bakery brand). It's great to have the option for a gluten free bun, not something you come across at other establishments. The burger was cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely amazing!! Meaty and juicy - perfection! The cabbage slaw was crunchy with a light flavor that perfectly complemented the burger.
