Food Review of Ojai's Treasure Beach and Cafe'
Meyer Lemon Semifreddo with chocolate covered cocoa nibs and walnut brittle
Local eatery serves up local ingredients in a unique boutique
A few weeks ago I had the joy of going to Treasure Beach and Cafe' and wrote about it for the VC Reporter. When I spoke to them that day they told me they'd started serving Sunday brunch and I must say the menu sounded scrumptious!
They specialize in fresh preparations of seasonal, local ingredients and list the local, often Ojai, food sources on the menu. They also change the menu every week to fit what's available from growers.
I have posted more photos after the jump so you can see just how yummy it was. Here is the review in the VC Reporter.
Hope you enjoy!!

Haven't been there, but now it's on my to-do list! And, BTW, food photography is VERY hard to do well, no matter how good the camera is. You've got a good eye for it for sure!

Thank you both :) It's great to combine my two passions -- who doesn't love doing that?
Judy I'm not sure of the brunch prices? I saw an older menu as they change it weekly and it has escaped me. If you follow the link and read the review there are some prices listed there that give a high and low. Or you could always call and ask what they're serving THAT week to see?
I can't wait to go back. yummy!

Why don't we have a "fabulous" Vegetarian restaurant here in Ojai? It's just seems crazy! All these bistro's and no Veggie place except Farmer & C...

Hmmm I don't know. Seems often only bigger cities have really posh vegetarian restaurants. I will say though that Ojai has a fair amount of cuisine to choose from for vegetarians with f&c, rainbow, and each restaurant seems much more aware than the average town and offers vegetarian entrees. There was a beet, farro entree at Treasure Beach that looked yummy and of course fabulous salads. There might have been more options I'm forgetting since I did the review a couple of weeks ago.
And....the fact that the THE farmers market is in ojai. It's just amazing. Like a candy store for vegetarians.
