Creative and well-executed health food, fast, is on the docket at Tractor‘s new downtown locale (work lunches for the finance set just got a whole lot better-for-you).
The resto’s slant is "everyday healthy," meaning the menus are fairly standard upon first gander (cafeteria service soups, salads and sandwiches) but fresh, nutritious and, often, local and organic ingredients (plus all meals being made daily on site) amp up the experience. A Moroccan chickpea stew is umami-rich and perfect for drizzly days; salads like roasted beet and green bean with goat feta and herb vinaigrette or wild mushroom, pasta and truffled ricotta are tasty and interesting, and a pork sandwich comes on sourdough with wild arugula, provolone and tangy roasted garlic aioli.
Toss on some grilled albacore with lemon or half an avocado, pair with a couple glasses of wine, and you’ve got the power lunch of champions. —Adrienne Matei
