Patric's

Patric's has a split personality. On one hand, the charming little retro cafe loads up diners on comfort food such as muffins, pot roast skillet and bacon benedict for breakfast; and deep-fried hot dogs and bacon and PBJ sandwiches for lunch. Then there's Patric's healthy side - its well-designed salads such as grilled salmon with strawberries and orange basil dressing and grilled Portobello wrap sandwich. But its ultimate tip of the toque to healthy eating is its Paleo breakfast and lunch menus. These follow guidelines for the mostly meat and leafy greens regime of the grain and gluten-free Paleo diet. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches come on gluten-free bread or sans bread at all. The burger, for instance, rests on a bed of lettuce and tomato and is available with bacon, a fried egg or avocado. The kitchen is so skilled you won't even miss the grains.
