When you think about Las Vegas, images of slot machines, spectacular shows, and grandiose hotels may be the first things to come to mind. But in recent years, Vegas has been increasingly gaining a reputation for something entirely different – its burgeoning farm-to-table movement. More and more restaurants in the city are embracing this sustainable dining trend, serving fresh, locally sourced, and healthful meals that are as delicious as they are nutritious. Let’s shine a spotlight on where to get the healthiest farm-to-table breakfasts in Sin City.
Rise and Shine at Honey Salt
Honey Salt, in Summerlin, is not just a restaurant, but a celebration of a community-driven, farm-to-table dining experience. The passion of culinary power-couple Elizabeth Blau and Chef Kim Canteenwalla, Honey Salt is all about fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Their breakfast menu boasts classics like ‘Biloxi Buttermilk Pancakes’ or the gluten-free ‘HS Breakfast Bowl’, filled with quinoa, avocado, roasted tomato, kale, and a sunny-side up egg. With its warm, inviting atmosphere and a menu that emphasizes health and flavor, Honey Salt has all the makings for a fantastic breakfast experience.
Breakfast Delight at Eat.
Chef Natalie Young’s Eat. in Downtown Las Vegas is an absolute must-visit. This breakfast and lunch spot serves up a wide range of tasty options, but what makes them stand out is their commitment to sourcing ingredients from local farms and purveyors. Whether you’re craving the ‘Truffled Egg Sandwich’ or want something a bit lighter like the ‘Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal’, you can rest assured knowing that the ingredients are fresh and support local farmers. Even better, they have gluten-free and vegan options available.
A Morning at Kitchen Table
Kitchen Table, located in Henderson, is a gastronomic treat that transports you back to your mom’s kitchen with a modern twist. Chef Javier Chavez combines his culinary expertise with homey comfort, resulting in a farm-to-table experience that’s unpretentious yet outstanding. The ‘Huevos Rancheros’ are a crowd favorite, but if you’re looking for a unique treat, the ‘Smoked Salmon Latkes’ shouldn’t be missed. The ingredients are fresh, sourced from local farms, adding to the culinary experience that is as healthful as it is flavorful.
Healthy Indulgence at True Food Kitchen
True Food Kitchen at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace takes the farm-to-table concept and infuses it with a robust scientific approach. Co-founded by holistic health guru, Dr. Andrew Weil, True Food Kitchen’s menu reflects anti-inflammatory diet principles without compromising taste. The ‘Sunrise Bowl’ with its combination of organic sunny side up eggs, ancient grains, sweet potato, grilled portobello, avocado, hemp seed, and turmeric tahini will leave you nourished and satisfied. The balance between health and flavor at True Food Kitchen is a testament to the possibilities of food as medicine.
Vegas is much more than the city of lights and casinos. It’s an evolving food paradise that embraces the farm-to-table concept, providing residents and visitors alike with an array of healthful, delicious breakfast options. The next time you’re in Vegas, step off the beaten path and treat yourself to a nutritious, farm-fresh breakfast. After all, what happens in Vegas might stay in Vegas, but the nutritional benefits of a hearty, farm-to-table breakfast will stay with you long after.
