True Food Kitchen Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan Options

Updated February 2023! True Food Kitchen is a rapidly expanding, healthy, table-serve restaurant chain that was founded by Dr. Andrew Weil. Their menu closely adheres to the principles of his popular anti-inflammatory diet. Consequently, they serve a wide selection of dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options with Mediterranean, Asian, and Californian influences.
