From Farm to Table

Kick off your farm-to-table journey at Green Pastures where MSG and canned ingredients do not exist. The restaurant's interiors resemble a farmhouse, complete with wooden fixtures and an open organic kitchen. Servers clad as farmers greet you the moment you enter, presenting you with a menu that features items mostly made with locally sourced ingredients. Perfect for those who are looking for “greener pastures” when dining out, you can head to their do-it-yourself salad bar to make your own salad bowl or order a couple of their best-selling dishes: Roast Organic Chicken, House Made Ricotta Cheese served with onion jam, roasted garlic, and toasted bread, and their Vegetarian Burger That Doesn’t Suck!

Locavore is known for its modern take on Filipino cuisine, making use of locally grown and produced ingredients in every single dish they prepare. Probably one of their most popular entrées is the Sizzling Sinigang, which features an unusual spin on the classic Filipino sour soup. Served on a sizzling plate, it consists of beef short ribs, sauteed french beans, sampaloc gravy (tamarind gravy, instead of the traditional broth), and garlic confit. They also have great appetizers, including a Filipino Street Food Platter and Singkamas (turnips), Mangga (mango), and Bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). It’s best to reserve a table beforehand as the restaurant gets packed, especially during lunch and dinner time.
