Celebrating Local, Seasonal Ingredients
At Bartlett Reserve, we believe that great food starts with great ingredients. We’re committed to providing our residents with the highest quality dishes, which means focusing on fresh, local, and seasonal produce.
The benefits of eating seasonally are numerous. It means our ingredients are at their peak flavor, having been harvested at the right time. It also means our menu is continually changing, reflecting the best of each season’s produce. In the summer, you might enjoy a salad bursting with ripe, juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, and crisp cucumbers. In the winter, you can savor hearty dishes featuring root vegetables, winter squash, and kale.
Eating local not only supports our local farmers and reduces our carbon footprint, but it also ensures our ingredients are as fresh as possible. This commitment to local sourcing is an essential part of our dining philosophy and a significant benefit for our residents.
