6 years ago I’ll never forget attending a brunch at The Four Seasons and the attentive waiter asking me if I would prefer a white or a black napkin. I looked at him quizzically and asked why I was given a choice. He patiently responded “We’ll Miss, your wearing a black dress and using a black napkin will avoid getting white lint on your beautiful dress.” What a brilliant idea I thought…Why doesn’t every restaurant offer this special treatment?

After recently visiting London, Granger and Co. quickly became one of my favorite breakfast sports. Internationally renowned chef, Bill Granger, is well known for his easy going approach to cooking. The menu offers classic options to start your morning off right, done perfectly in the most equisite way. Nestled in the charming neighboorhood of Westbourne Grove this restaurant has a welcoming bright, light and airy dining room… Most likely why this hang out has become a popular stomping ground for the local notting hill moms. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

Indulgent five-course meals are easy to come by in New York City. But one that’s nutritious, delicious and under 1,000 calories? Virtually unheard of. What seems too good to be true is actually the formula behind the seasonal tasting menu that recently debuted at Michelin starred restaurant, Rouge Tomate. Executive Chef Jeremy Bearman presents a multi-course menu that features decadent ingredients (think oysters, caviar, squab, lobster), yet delivers on its low-calorie promise and also supplies 40% of your daily nutritional requirements.

By revolutionizing the multi-course dining experience, Rouge Tomate makes it possible to enjoy a substantial, flavorful meal without sacrificing nutrition. And who says you can’t have it all? – Clean Plates.com

Cafe Gratitude has become one of my favorite stomping grounds for lunches with friends. Terrifying as it might sound their food is 100% organic vegan specializing in gourmet raw and cooked cuisines, but don’t let that scare you away. Some of my favorite dishes include “I am Ecstatic” (Miso Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts)”I am Fortified” (Quinoa with Roasted Vegetables) and “I am Transformed” (Vegan Tacos). All of their cafes create gourmet dishes with organic produce from their very own farm in Vacaville, California (Be Love Farm). Cafe Gratitude honors the earth, promotes consciousness and sustainability for both our well being. I  suggest arriving with patience as parking can be a headache and the wait for a table can be quite lengthy!- Taryn Cox for THE WIFE
