Green Canteen's menu allows you to feel good because the food is clean and wholesome. The restaurant uses fresh, high quality ingredients sourced locally wherever possible. The ingredients are free from hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, artificial flavors, sweeteners and hydrogenated fats. Our chefs seek out sustainably grown food and free-range meats in an effort to provide our guests an "Eat Well. Feel Well." menu.

Green Canteen offers everyday enjoyment at a good value. Whether you are on the go, want to eat in a cozy booth or at the community table or just hang out and relax, you're always welcome at Green Canteen.
