True Food Kitchen, the award-winning restaurant brand, has opened their first New Jersey location at The Shops at Riverside in Hackensack.

Co-founded by integrative medicine expert, Dr. Andrew Weil, True Food Kitchen’s seasonal menu is guided by the principles of his anti-inflammatory food pyramid — “emphasizing wholesome, simple ingredients with thoughtful preparations to highlight the natural benefits and flavors of each ingredient”.

The space includes a “garden-inspired dining room” featuring draping vines of pothos and ivy, artwork inspired by the ingredients from the brand’s menu, and murals designed to “reinforce True Food’s mission and values”. This includes eco-friendly materials like dining chairs made of recycled soda bottles.

Their menu (View Menu) features fan favorites, seasonal dishes, freshly pressed juices and handcrafted cocktails available for lunch, dinner or weekend brunch. To complement the flavors and ingredients, the restaurant offers a scratch bar featuring freshly pressed juices, organic teas, and natural refreshers along with a selection of beer, wine and handcrafted cocktails containing organic and gluten-free spirits.

The new restaurant occupies a 6628 square feet with a 1200 square foot patio and is open Monday through Thursday from 11:00am till 9:00pm, Friday from 11:00am till 10:00pm, Saturday from from 10:00am till 10:00pm and Sunday from 1o:00am till 9:00pm.
