i was so excited when they announced that a lemonade was opening up in studio city! it is one of my favorites!

concept: healthy cafeteria style.

keep in mind that lemonade is one of those places that has a handful of solid dishes that you just have to know to order… the other dishes that are way too healthy are not for everyone (like me. i’m just not a beet dish person). my go-to:

salads:

• pineapple chicken, green beans, coconut, jalapeño, jerk dressing (my favorite)
• cauliflower, golden raisins, almonds, curry
• avocado, cherry tomato, pine nuts, lime
• butternut squash, brussels sprouts, red flame grapes, almonds

braises:

• meatball (only if i feel like i need something substantial)
• jamaican jerk chicken

protein:

• pineapple chicken

my normal order is two portions (two salads) ($6). if i am starving, then i get two salads and a braise ($13) or a protein.

jamacian jerk chicken (above). pineapple chicken (below).

• ambience: casual. keep in mind this is cafeteria style. pointing out that there is always a line here at lunch/dinner. good thing it moves quickly.
• parking: metered on ventura blvd. good luck.
