sunterra market, keynote

chocolate chip muffin. addictively sweet and impossible to resist!

white chocolate chunks and dark chocolate chips. addictively sweet and impossible to resist! i kept it in my purse for spontaneous snacking, but that didn't last long :)

now that sunterra is just around the corner, there’s a closer place to pick up everyday goodies; and a hangout where you can eat and enjoy the food we all love. on the top floor, there is a self-serve cafeteria-style, but they have also included the two large tandoori/woks for the curries and asian/thai dishes.

very modern great atmosphere. i love the layout very modern and the food is great also i like the fact they have an wine bar very cool. very clean as well
i would defiantly come back again.

hmm. i stopped in today to check out their produce selection as i've just moved close by. & it seems wonderful! nice veggie & fruit selection! although it's really annoying to see not ripened fruit sliced open with a for sale mark on them! :/ papaya's are not ripe when they are green people, c'mon. *shakes head* well not the one's they were selling.

anyhow, they have what looks to be a lovely sized raw food salad bar. a cozy modern "cafe like" seating area.

i thought that perhaps with the fermented kefir yoghurt, they might carry daiya cheese (vegan) products, but they do not.

i will be back, this place is cozy, homey, & clean!

terrible. i had the misfortune of working for sunterra at this location. i have never seen such a disorganized place, they will hire anyone with a heart beat so the staff rarely knows what is going on. it's nice as a shopping experience but the two kitchens there are absolutely terrible.

let's see. 1.raw cookies (more than one occasion). 2.over seasoned chicken. 3. rotten veggies in the produce aisle. 4. poor customer service (lady painting her nails at cash point), 5. poor food quality. the only perk is that is conveniently located near home. pass

wonderful market and delicious food. guided here by a friend who works downtown, my love began as i explored the market on the ground level. this is the only sunterra market that i've been to, so the whole experience was quite exciting. with so many people bustling about trying to grab a healthy bite, i immediately noticed the plethora of fresh items surrounding me. i could have easily grabbed something pre-made here and been content, but the smell of more food from the second floor kept me walking.

the restaurant on the second floor is an open concept, illuminated by sunshine through their many windows. sauntering past the rows of food being cooked, i was immediately confused as to how one went about ordering. after asking around, i finally settled on their garlic clove chicken on a bed of brown rice (other choices included white rice, spinach, and pasta). the servers were very friendly and helpful, and the portions were quite large.

when ladling the stew atop my rice, the servers make sure you get the most meat and veggies as possible. the chicken was tender, the veggies cooked to a perfect texture, and the overall flavours just perfect. my dessert was a delicious chocolate chip muffin. my whole meal was under $10, which i feel is an excellent deal.

in conclusion, my perfect world would have me living in one of the condos that towers above this market, thus giving me full access to sunterra's food at all times. alas, this is not yet possible, so i must therefore make as many excuses as possible to return. a myriad of healthy, fresh food choices for a truly magnificent price: i am at peace.

market is great for lunch. can't speak to the restaurant itself, even though the smells are lovely. i use this place for healthy quick lunch carryout and it definitely fills that bill. salad bar is fresh and stocked, many sandwich choices, lots of fruit. quick in and out is what i need and the fact that there are nutrients in my food here... total bonus. :)

in a word: average. i agree with james' review regarding the second floor restaurant - quite disorganized. as well, they over salt everything, often to the point of making the sides inedible. service, although slow on occasion, is typically with enthusiasm. two small things that bug me every time i visit are, 1) the employees smoking en masse right outside the parking entrance; 2) watching the employees eating the samples while working. overall, very convenient and good more often than not. hoping they continue to improve with time.

great food but takes navigating. love the concept the second floor is really comfortable and a great deck. the are also open early you can show up at 6:00 am get fed a very good quality breakfast for a reasonable price and on the road by 7:00 am but watch the parking - confusing the main floor is small but seems to have everything i want in it if i lived in a condo i would pay an extra $50,000 to have a place like this on the main floor makes living easy. lunch and dinner are again good quality and "the price is right" i find the big pan selections healthy and well received and you can get them on spinach not just rice. great place for family and kids open kitchen concept with an emphasis on healthy that allows the kids to get what they want but still have something healthy. service is amazing - they have some sort of a no tip policy i do not understand but what i can tell you is everyone makes an effort to please. well worth visiting.

not quite as efficient as the other sunterras. i've stopped by the new sunterra restaurant three times since it has opened, since it is close to home and fairly convenient. the food is fresh and quite good, but the ordering process is quite convoluted, even for the staff. trying to get your order can be quite cumbersome, since those that are supposed to take your order don't pay much attention to the customers. overall, i find that they take about twice as much time as the other sunterras to make your food. i will be avoiding the restaurant for now and just stick with the market downstairs. hopefully, they will eventually sort out their logistical issues in the restaurant.
