Healthy Dining at Ballston Quarter
At Ballston Quarter, True Food Kitchen draws diners from the surrounding office towers, Ballston-area residents, and Metro commuters arriving by way of the Ballston-MU station. The Wilson Boulevard dining room handles weekday lunches, weekend brunch, and group dinners, with menu flexibility across vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-conscious diets.
Patio seating opens directly onto the Ballston Quarter walkway, putting guests in the middle of the complex's foot traffic. Whether it's a working lunch with a colleague or a Saturday brunch with friends, the menu shifts with the season and centers on whole-food, anti-inflammatory cooking.
Built around Dr. Andrew Weil's anti-inflammatory food pyramid: whole foods, plant-forward proteins, healthy fats, and seasonal produce.
