Healthy food that doesn’t compromise on flavour
Kenney describes his food as healthy and decadent at the same time. Speaking about his menu, Kenney said:
“It is food that doesn’t compromise on flavour or enjoyment of eating, yet maintains a high nutritional profile, and uncompromising ethical standards. There is a misconception that healthy food isn’t as tasty or decadent as unhealthy food. We challenge anyone to take a bite of our raw cakes or raw pancakes and see if they feel deprived.”
