Healthy food made fresh and quick in Carillon Point in Kirkland. This is a nice addition to the area, as Carillon Kitchen is a casual concept with healthy favorites. I feel better about myself when I eat here.
They have kombucha and nitro cold brew on tap, so if you're in need of a caffeinated jolt without the crash then start with either of these drinks. But they do have Washington wines, for your alcoholic craving. The food menu though is customizable to your dietary needs. If you don't want a grain/quinoa bowl then you can get it in a wrap, but if you're nixing the grains all together then you can get it in a salad. The menu has a solid amount of combinations, mostly consisting of fresh produce and protein with a base of your choosing. Personally, I like the salads. They also have grab and go items, like small snacks and sandwiches.
In my most recent visit I had the Santa Fe Salad, which was delicious! I added chicken to the salad, which came with fresh peppers, avocado, tomato cherries, corn and chips for that crunch factor. The light lime vinaigrette was a nice, acidic dressing with all the fresh veggies! And the salad was a large size; yet what I liked most about it was that I didn't feel bloated afterwards. It wasn't a heavy salad at all, but did not compromise on taste. Now that's execution!
Overall, Carillon Kitchen is a wonderful space, offering a casual dining experience that's affordable and healthy. Find me on the patio here where dogs are welcomed!
