A couple of months ago I had met a friend downtown for a quick bite to eat. We hadn’t much time so we decided to stay local and tried a quaint little breakfast bar located right off of Bathurst. To my surprise I had unknowingly discovered one of Toronto’s greenest restaurants. You could imagine my elation as I came across terms on the menu such as “free range”, “supporting local and family run suppliers”, and so forth. I knew I would have to share with the world this little slice of heavenly social responsibility.
Last Thursday after our exhausting shopping spree on Queen street, I decided to share my experience with the thinkGood. team. On my first visit my friend introduced me to Grapefruit Moon’s best kept secret, their famous grilled cheese sandwich. Ladies and gents this is no regular grilled cheese! It has all the fixins’ including avocado! I was also delighted at the fact that upon arrival you are served fresh water in an old fashioned milk bottle. I’m assuming that these bottles are what Grapfruit Moon gets their local milk in; great recycling idea! Another element that we took notice of was the local art that they had on display. If the art is your style there are prices and artist information to be had listed below each piece. We also noted the Bullfrog powered certificate that was showcased above the bar. Speaking of bar – all of the beer sold at Grapefruit Moon are from local Ontario microbreweries. If you are going to drink why not support your local brewery!
Lastly located at the back of the indoor dining area there is a local community board where community members and local businesses can display inforamtion they want to share with the folks that frequent Grapefruit Moon. Did I mention that the wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about Grapefruit Moon’s green initiatives? A huge thinkGood. thank you goes out to Tyrone for introducing me to Grapefruit Moon, and to our server Collin for sharing his socially conscious knowledge, and for giving us a taste of Grapefruit Moon’s fine dining experience.

Bullfrog Powered: When you choose Bullfrog Power, Bullfrog’s generators inject renewable electricity onto your local or regional grid to match the amount of power your home or business uses. Bullfrog’s electricity comes exclusively from wind and hydro facilities that have been certified as low impact by Environment Canada under its EcoLogoM program instead of from polluting sources like coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear.

P.S. thinkGood. became such fans of Grapefruit Moon that we went back for round two today. A thinkGood. thank you goes out to Alan who provided us with top of the line customer service.
