The date

Nourish has occupied an 1889 heritage house on Quebec Street since 2010, and the building does half the work: high ceilings, tall windows, a garden out front and a room that hums rather than roars. The kitchen is vegetable forward without being preachy, which means bone broth served in a mug, gluten free pancakes people come back for, and seedy crackers under cashew cheese, most of it grown or sourced within an hour of the door. Service stops at 1:45pm and then the house exhales.

How to do it

Service runs 9am to 1:45pm every day, so this is an early move rather than a leisurely late one. Ask for a table by the front windows, order the Sleeping Beauty pancakes plus something savoury and share across the table, and add a mug of bone broth if the weather is grim. Budget about 90 minutes. You are two blocks from the Inner Harbour causeway and a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf, so the stroll afterwards writes itself.
