True Food Kitchen

Open at Plaza at Preston Center since 2013, the kitchen pairs responsibly sourced proteins with a seasonal, anti-inflammatory menu that lists calorie counts and balances green staples with traditional fare. Dishes range from kale salads and teriyaki quinoa bowls to house drinks like the Kale Aid. Inside, the casual room accommodates solo diners at the bar to larger parties, drawing a regular local crowd for weekday business lunches, weekend brunches, and relaxed dinners.
