| The
Elmwood Spa - Summer Spa Cuisine Menu

 |
Julie
Register, Your Guide to Spas, visited this day spa in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
in September 2001.
The Elmwood Spa features
selection from its own kitchen as well as the Bangkok
Garden Thai restaurant
located in the same building as the spa. The spa's menu includes choices that
are nutritious, low in fat, and exiting to the eye and palate. Spa cuisine is
served daily from 11:30 am to 4 pm. All menu items can be
prepared for take out.
Grilled Vegetable Napoleon
I selected the Grilled
Vegetable Napoleon for my spa day lunch at The Elmwood Spa. It was very
good - beautifully presented, very flavorful with a nice texture (vegetables crisp but not
raw),
slightly spicy, and very filling. The following Summer Menu just
gives you an idea of the food served at the Elmwood spa. The menu changes
seasonally. Fall Harvest Menu started October 1, 2001.
