The Kitchen at Farm Sanctuary

I couldn't imagine a more perfect addition to the Farm Sanctuary experience! Chef Gail is extremely talented, creating accessible vegan comfort food including the best tomato bisque I've ever had, veggie galette and a chicken parm sandwich. As a b&b guest, we also had the privilege of experiencing her breakfast. At the risk of sounding repetitive, she made the best Just Egg/tofu scramble & breakfast potatoes I've had in my life!

This place is PHENOMENAL!!! They’ve got a big window overlooking the farm with loads of natural light. The food is FANTASTIC, including some limited fruits/veggies grown on the premises! The kitchen is also open/exposed while they’re preparing food, and the chef/staff are very interactive/talkative. I had the “meatball sub” and it was delicious. My partner also had butternut bisque, apple cider, and a gluten-free chocolate cake. We can’t wait to be back and try the veggie galette and mushroom tacos. They also have gluten free options available & are also very open to making modifications or offering off-menu options. Some of the staff at the farm have Celiac, so they understand the nuances and are very careful with cross-contamination.

We did not know about this place, so were planning to go for lunch somewhere in Watkins Glen after visiting the farm (as we had in the past). Luckily we stepped in to explore! Now we are trying to think of an excuse to have to go back towards Watkins Glen so that we can go here again!! This is one of the best restaurants (vegan or otherwise) in the finger lakes region! A true hidden gem.

It’s always wonderful going to a restaurant with a full vegan menu. The food is delicious (I had meatball grinder, potato salad, and chocolate cake) and the cafe bright and airy with large windows with the pig pasture in the distance. As I enjoyed my meal, I would look up, see the pigs happily living their best lives and feel so happy. I can’t wait to return! Vegans should not miss this, and it’s a great lunch spot for locals!

Just got back from our stay at the bed and breakfast and we can't stop talking about how superb your food is! My mom said her Reuben is the best she ever had and I couldn't wait to wake up this morning because of how much I was looking forward to breakfast. We also got the desserts to go and I couldn't stop myself from eating all 4 of them. The addition of this cafe on the property has made the stay at the bed and breakfast a whole new level of vegan heaven. Keep up the great work we had a perfect visit to the sanctuary thank you!!!
