A Food and Wine Revolution GLASSROOTS Boasting a fully plant-based menu that embraces local seasonality to the fullest every single week of the year, Glassroots has found success with its unique approach. Led by Chef & Sommelier owners Yoda Olinyk and Mike Fish, the restaurant fuses innovative vegan cuisine with a wine and cocktail culture unparalleled in London. Diners can enjoy a Chef’s Choice Tasting Menu paired with the city’s most extensive all-Canadian wine list. 56 London’s Local Flavour www.eatdrink.ca RESTAURANTS
THE SCENE Funk music fills the intimate dining room and diners of all ages enjoy unique dishes and spins on old classics. The semi-open kitchen is bordered by a beautiful bar made from local black walnut and the decor is all recycled, upcycled and made by hand. A Stormtrooper helmet sits atop the beer fridge and antique kitchen gadgets line the kitchen walls. The elevated front patio offers views of Richmond Row. The energy is high and the conversation infectious. The staff — personable, engaging and genuine — help deliver a timeless experience that makes Glassroots a true destination location. MENU HIGHLIGHTS Glassroots does things a little differently than most restaurants. Instead of deciding on menu items and then finding the ingredients, Chef Yoda gets a weekly list of what’s available from local farmers and then creates a menu based on those ingredients. While not everything is local, like avocado, citrus fruit and cashews, 95% of the thousands of ingredients used in a year come from within 100 km of the restaurant. In their first year alone, Glassroots created more than 550 unique menu items spread over 60 unique menus. Some of the seasonal creations include: • Daily Chef’s Choice Tasting Menu — Enjoy 3, 4 or 5 courses with or without wine pairings.
