The other day I got a text from my best friend that read:
"Green Cuisine burnt down!"
In shock, I went online and found the Times Colonist
According to reports, the fire started last Tuesday morning at 5am, causing
$300,000 worth of damage. The only blessing is that no one was injured
I went down to check it out, remembering this post I made
back when Green Cuisine was a flourishing Vegan Restaurant
Most of the damage is in the back behind the kitchen (not visible)
You can see the residue from the smoke and ash, which also caused
many businesses above the restaurant to temporarily close down
When I was still working here, the gorgeous painted
murals by Miles Lowry were just being completed...
My thoughts are with Chef and Owner, Andy
Cunningham, and the whole family at Green Cuisine
Green Cuisine is the Heart of Market Square, and we all hope this won't be
the end of such a precious establishment, cherished by so many customers
To end on a happier note, I decided to pay tribute to Green
Cuisine's delicious vegan food, with a photo montage of some
of the many meals and desserts I have eaten there :)
Plus many more...
Oh no! How horrible! I know how you loved that restaurant :(
ReplyDeleteTHat's so sad. I will say a restaurant I loved (Green Market Tavern) had a fire and closed. The chef opened another restaurant (in NYC) that he never would've had it not been for that unfortunate event. I hope some food comes out of this. Loved the photo tribute.
ReplyDeleteThat's so awful! I hope they're able to get back up and running soon. Their food always looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat take out looks great! :) Thanks for visiting my blog, I will add yours to my bookmark & follow as well :)
ReplyDeleteOh nooo! That is so sad :( I would cry if my one my favorite restaurants burnt down... Each establishment is so unique - you'll never find something quiteee like it! (Unless of course it is a chain, but in that case it wouldn't be one of my favorites.)
ReplyDeletehow sad. I really hope they can restore everything. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteoh no =( sad day =( im glad no one was hurt though!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad! I definitely hope they reopen - there isn't enough vegetarian restaurants in the world to lose a good one!
ReplyDeleteSad! I hope they are able to get everything back to (somewhat) normal. :(
ReplyDeleteOh no, Kelsey, that is awful! My thoughts are with the family that owns it. I'm so glad no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteOh no, that's terrible. I hope they're able to get back on their feet really soon. It's good that no one was there and was hurt.
ReplyDeleteYour eats look fantastic! Especially that kale goodness!
Oh my that's horrible...I really hope everything will be fine and they would reopen as soon as possible. But on a positive note, nobody was hurt, right?
ReplyDeleteOh no!!!!! That's terrible.
ReplyDeleteThat is horrible!! For the owners AND the customers!!
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago, a restaurant where I'd gone to as a child with my parents a couple of times burnt down. It's rebuilt now, but it still gives me an eerie feelng if I think of it. Fire scares me. :O
ReplyDeleteI love your food memory assortment! So kind!
omg that is so sad :( the food looked so good, i hope they are able to recover the funds through insurance and re-open!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad! Poor vegan restaurant!
ReplyDeleteall that food is definitely a happy note to end on - it looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow thats horrible, at least now you guys can goto the Keg and have crab and other sea-vegetables :P
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad!! Their food looks amazing! I love Market Square! Hope they get back on their feet soon!!
ReplyDeleteThat's sad about Green Cuisine :-(
ReplyDeleteOn a good note, the desserts all look amazing!
Oh no! I hope everything get backs together and starts rolling! How sad. :(
ReplyDeleteWhitney
Yikes! I hope everything turns out ok! The place sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is terrible! I am in shock too. I feel like I've been there myself because I've seen the food featured on here so much :(
ReplyDeleteHow terrible! I know how much you loved eating there :/
ReplyDeleteoh no! It's so sad when things like this happen, but I hope that it means something even better is on the other side.
ReplyDeleteThat is so terrible! I hope that they will be able to bounce back! I'm sure with followers such as yourself, everyone is going to do their best to get them back in business!
ReplyDeleteI also gave your blog an award, please do stop by my blog to accept it!
Mmm that vegan cinnamon raisin bun looks bomb!! I tagged you in my post btw!!
ReplyDeleteaw, that's awful - especially when your eats from there look so delightful! :(
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! I hope they're able to open back up soon!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I didn't hear about this before! Stopped by for some yummy soup and rice today and I was flabbergasted! So, so sad--one of the pictures looks like a pile of melty toys. My kids loved the play area and I loved that we could eat everything there without worry. Not many places like that here in Victoria. Hope they come back from this bad luck soon!
