After spending several days at a rejuvenating yoga retreat, the last thing my friend and I wanted…read morewas a heavy meal. Meat wasn't even on our radar--we were craving something fresh, nourishing, and full of flavor. After checking into our hotel, we headed out on a walk to explore Victoria. Well...our "little stroll" turned into quite the adventure and ended with us catching a ferry taxi back. And here I thought Las Vegas was the city of walking! Still in search of the perfect healthy dinner, we asked the front desk for a recommendation. Without hesitation, she suggested Be Love, mentioning its incredible vegan menu and abundance of gluten-free-friendly options. It sounded exactly like what we were looking for. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was bright, clean, welcoming, and had a fun, upbeat energy that made us feel right at home. We started with a couple of refreshing drinks and shared the mezze platter, which was the perfect way to ease into the meal with a variety of fresh, vibrant flavors. Then came the stacked tacos...and apparently our hunger had reached DEFCON 1 because I completely forgot to take a picture before we devoured them! If you've ever looked at your empty plate and thought, "Oops...I guess that was photo-worthy," you'll understand. Fortunately, I remembered dessert. We took home the chocolate caramel brownies and a protein cookie to enjoy later. The protein cookie was good, but those chocolate caramel brownies absolutely stole the show. Rich, decadent, perfectly balanced, and dangerously delicious--I would happily make a return trip just for those alone. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply someone who appreciates creative, flavorful food made with quality ingredients, Be Love is absolutely worth a visit. It was the perfect ending to a peaceful yoga retreat, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Victoria.

Generally, I've been going to grocery store route, since most restaurant menus are full of high saturated fat, high sodium, questionable ingredient items, or they're cost prohibitive. Hearth strikes a perfect balance of using high quality, healthy ingredients, while still being affordable. I hope that more restaurants like Hearth open up all over the world. I had the miso soup, it was vegan, soy free, and dairy free, and even though I have no allergies, sensitivities, or ethics based restrictions, I thought it was a tasty bowl of soup, and would happily stop by again for another one, or to try something else.

Have fun trying all the options, but just know that you are charged for the weight of your plate. The soup is charged by the bowl, so be sure to fill that to the top! My eyes were bigger than my stomach, so my plan to come back for dessert did not happen. :D Located on the inside of a courtyard, it was a little difficult to find at first. There are some tables outside, but they filled up quickly at lunchtime, so I sat in the dining room where there was a lot of space.

So when I saw Cinnaholic right across the street from my Airbnb I just knew I had to go! Unfortunately I can't say I loved it. I ordered the Cookie Monster roll to go and overall it was just too sweet and flavors didn't go well together. In addition it was really messy and seemed a little undercooked. With every bite, all I could hear was the crunch of undissolved sugar between my teeth. The location is pretty awesome with a really inexpensive parking structure next door. The atmosphere is light and welcoming, but very small. We had to wait outside the doors after we ordered. I would say that the hours are really funky considering they don't even open until 10am. When I think of cinnamon rolls,, I think breakfast not really dessert. They do sell other items including cookies and brownies, but I would say their menu is mainly focused on the star of the show ... the buns. Overall, I prefer Cinnabon over Cinnaholic and that's saying a lot!
