Finally, Chef Barry and I, of Local Love Catering, are working to realize our dreams to open a restaurant in the East Bay. Sanctuary Bistro will open in Fall 2013 and we will continue to cater events and private parties as we always have, under the new name.
Why the name Sanctuary? Sanctuary will donate a portion of our profits to the Sonoma County Farm Sanctuary and Education Center. We will be a Sanctuary for the animals, the planet, and the people.
Opening Fall 2013 :: Sanctuary
Fine dining bistro caters to eating healthfully, and conscientiously
Hi everyone, We are excited to announce we are in the early stages of establishing Sanctuary, a fine dining, plant-based bistro in the East Bay area scheduled to open this Fall and we've created a Kickstarter campaign to raise some seed money.
By creating a sustainable Bistro that is healthy for the planet, the environment and all living beings we create a sanctuary - a beautiful space to find peace while enjoying local, organic, healthy, vegan food with a farm to table philosophy. Our Bistro will be a warm, natural, organic location to enjoy with loved ones, family, and friends.
Sanctuary will cater to those who want to make positive change in their lives. It’s not just for those who embrace the vegan lifestyle, but also for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint, eat with more compassion, or simply want a healthful option when going out. We will bring local produce into gourmet, organic, vegan cuisine in a conscientious and thoughtful way.
If you don’t know Chef Barry, he is the former chef at the Stanford Inn by the Sea and has been cooking since he was 17. Classically trained at the Cordon Bleu, he converted Stanford Inn’s Raven Restaurant from a vegetarian to a vegan restaurant. In 2009, we founded Local Love catering in the Bay Area with a few dollars and a lot of pies and doubled our sales each year serving private clients, parties, and weddings.
