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.
