This Whyte Avenue hotspot is known for their sumptuous, savoury burgers, but they’re no slouch in the salad department. Their classic Caesar provides a well rounded, perfectly dressed familiar option for the less adventurous types, but their house salad is truly where it’s at. Packed full of strawberries, grapes, almonds and pea shoots, this gorgeous salad is complemented by a house-made honey vinaigrette; order it with grilled chicken or as a side to your burger or sandwich.
