the citizen

i discovered this place by accident and if i was a local it would be a regular place to eat. the decor is airy and fresh and the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. the menu is not huge but there is an interesting range of breakfast and lunch options with food allergies and vegetarians catered for well. i ate the puposas (black beans and cheese in a flat bread) coupled with lemony white beans and sensational lightly pickled vegetables. if you are in therichmondarea do yourself a favour and eat here!

a tasty (and healthy) lunch alternative. having just moved to richmond, this was one of the first places i discovered for lunch. it was a bit of a trick to find but well worth the effort. the food has a bit of a south american flair, with interesting pickled vegetables and amazing grilled sandwiches. it seems thatrichmondagrees too, because it's getting to the point where you have to time your lunch excursion to avoid the rush. every time i go there it seems the menu has been updated. their combinations are very inventive and (again) their ingredients are locally sourced. i am all for supporting places like this, where they provide a great alternative to the run-of-the-mill burgers and fries.

sounds tasty..usually is.... creative ideas on the menu. definitely order ahead of time! most delicious macaroons inrichmond- don't miss out if you see them by the counter!.good deal too - some coworkers of mine are very big fans of the omelette, and i can certainly understand why. i was pleased with the taste of my sloppy jose, but the portion of meat on the bun was just okay - but i really can't complain about that too much because of the price. the chicken/artichoke sandwich was good, but i was expecting more flavor after reading the description..it just didn't wow me. same for the cumin potatos - i was expecting lots of cumin flavor! as fried potatoes go they are awesome, but as cumin potatoes they are only so-so...still because of the varitety and creativity of the menu,the price, and let's face it, the food is good, i will most certainly be back!
