Seasonal Menu

Our European-inspired seasonal menu is the work of David, our Paris-trained chef, and the FRIEDA kitchen team.
Everything is freshly prepared with ingredients sourced from local partners: Lancaster Farm Fresh, The Common Market, and coffee from Elixr …
Indulge in an almond croissant, a latte, and some Bircher muesli for breakfast, or omelets and brioche French toast any time of the day. For lunch, available from Monday to Friday, let yourself be tempted by our yummy and cute, individual-size quiches, open-face toasts, tarragon Niçoise salad, or plant-based chickpea and apricot tagine with quinoa.
Start the weekend with a Bakers’ Basket and FRIEDA jams for brunch, or a customer favorite: the mushroom toast with poached eggs and mornay sauce.
Most people who work in the kitchen have been with FRIEDA for many years: David, Fausta, and Elton cooking; Oli, Sandra, Ron, and Val, some of the retirees from neighborhoods across the city who love to bake, crafting all our cookies and jams that are done in small batches. This is how dedicated the FRIEDA team is. From the 20-something barista to our host Tina and her lifetime of experience, we are all here to serve you and make your stay delicious and enjoyable!

Dinner Meal Plan

FRIEDA started its Dinner Meal Plan in 2019 to serve people from the community who are less mobile, especially during winter. Seven days a week, the Dinner Meal Plan provides a freshly prepared, delicious, balanced, and affordable meal from our kitchen to your home.
This is not your usual takeout. Every day, your FRIEDA kitchen team prepares a different dish with the same care and love: slow-cooked stews, braised brisket in red wine and apricot, pork loin roulade with smoked Gouda and apples cooked sous vide, crab cake with a remoulade ... and more! Start with a soup or finish with a sweet ending, like our orange almond cake or cookies prepared by our multigenerational baking team.
All dishes you can easily reheat at home. Everything comes with reheating instructions, nicely boxed in eco-friendly packaging that can be used in the microwave.
We publish the Dinner Meal Plan, with date range below (and update date range every two weeks), so you can plan and order ahead. To guarantee freshness, we ask that you order 48 hours in advance, to give us time to source the produce with our local suppliers and prepare your meal on the desired day!
