Important note: Since this review was written, I have changed my approach from weight management to Health at Every Size and intuitive eating. The recommendations here were intended for the pursuit of weight loss, an approach that is no longer aligned with my beliefs and brand. Keep this in mind as you read through the post.
Fairfax Restaurant Review
Welcome to the first official post: Fairfax restaurant review! Last week I was inspired to visit Fairfax, formerly known as Perla. For those who know me, Perla’s Cacio e Pepe was a preview of what heaven should be. When the owner decided to convert Perla to Fairfax, I was crushed. Maybe I was little angry because I didn’t visit Fairfax until last week (sorry, James!). A picture of their breakfast on Instagram moved me to end the blockade and revisit the space now known as Fairfax. I was not disappointed, but RIP that Cacio e Pepe.

Vibe: chill, relaxed but you can have a conversation at a regular volume; service is hands-off, so you can come here to really settle in and work or relax

Standout Dish: Danish Breakfast

Hi Carol, thanks for this fantastic review, love your rating system, it is the most informative and is in simple terms because I know we all have been there eating at a place and unable to decide how to rate it. You are a true critic with food and its nutrient value being the core focus of your work. I guess an “affordable healthyish restaurant” is a good start if I decide to eat there but I shall look for your recommendations on “affordable healthy restaurant”
Will definitely be reviewing more affordable healthy restaurants!
