We believe in the power of whole, real food.
\nWe partner with each of our growers, ranchers and producers so that every ingredient meets our TRUE standards.
\nThat means better food for you, your family, and the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
True Food Kitchen is the only restaurant fundamentally based on science which ensures all of its craveable dishes and drinks work to increase the longevity of our people and planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>
We believe in food that works for you, to nourish you as healthfully as possible\u2026without sacrificing flavor. Based on the anti-inflammatory food pyramid, the brainchild of our founder Dr. Andrew Weil, renowned doctor of integrative medicine, every single ingredient on our menu is carefully selected and hand-crafted into signature dishes that make eating well effortless, energizing and most importantly, full of flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>
We\u2019re known for our philosophy. We\u2019re loved for our food. Whether it\u2019s the umami on our signature grass-fed burger, a well-massaged kale salad with a tart and lemony dressing, the hearty comfort of a bowl of beloved grains or a rustic handmade pizza piled high with a rainbow of the season\u2019s best bounty, we believe that good food evokes a good mood. And you should have both in abundance.<\/p>\n<\/div>
For everything. Each one of our restaurants has its own chef-led culinary team who take ingredients, spices and one-of-a-kind finds to bold new heights with an eye for peak-season freshness, bright flavors and combinations, and an always creative take on your classic favorites.<\/p>\n<\/div>
At our table, we believe you should eat with passion. We believe the choices you make should sustain your appetite, your health and your planet. We believe in approaching food \u2013 both making it and eating it \u2013 with genuine curiosity and a healthy dose of creativity. And we do it all with a firm commitment to one thing. Staying TRUE to every word. And we believe that\u2019s something to feel good about. Grab a seat.<\/p>\n<\/div>
We continuously evolve our culinary standards as we discover more about ingredients and their impacts on our bodies, planet, and more. Last year, we eliminated cooking with seed oils and are proud to exclusively use olive and avocado oil in all 45 restaurants nationwide. We were founded 15 years ago by Dr. Andrew Weil on the idea that great-tasting and nutritious food and thoughtfully crafted beverages can serve as a foundation for a life well lived and we are proud to stand by that today.<\/p>\n<\/div>
