As interest in healthy, wholesome eating grows and consumers seek out food that is handcrafted and locally sourced, the Sacramento region offers its denizens an ever-growing array of restaurants and shops that are determined to meet their needs.

One such place is Granite Bay’s Quarry Ponds Town Center, an innovative and beautiful commercial marketplace situated on the busy Douglas Boulevard corridor. The first of its kind in the Sacramento region, Quarry Ponds showcases 41,253 square feet of dining and shopping opportunities for folks interested in specialty food and artisanal products.

Hungry visitors have a plethora of restaurant choices: Sink your teeth into one of Pizza Antica’s chewy, fantastic thin-crusted pizzas, treat the family to a slab of meatloaf or an Italian sausage sandwich at Sammy’s Bistro, or hunker over a hefty pile of sundried mango and macadamia pancakes at Toast, a bright and cheerful restaurant specializing in creative morning fare. Hawks restaurant, a beacon of culinary excellence in Placer County, features an upscale, seasonal menu of items prepared from locally sourced ingredients.

Inside the airy, sunlit Market Hall, one will find a number of specialty food merchants. Don’t miss the stunning selection of meats and seafood at Vande Rose Farms Meat & Fish, which becomes especially popular (and crowded) during the holiday season. Vande Rose is known for its beautiful, all-natural Premium Hereford beef and Premium Duroc pork, as well as its sparkling lineup of fresh fish. Visitors can select from an exciting menu of take-out, prepared foods at Pullman Kitchen, including hot rotisserie chicken, lamb shanks, composed salads and interesting side dishes such as oven-roasted vegetables and twice-baked potatoes. And remember to grab a bagful of fragrant, fresh produce from One Ripe Tomato, a loaf of rustic Acme bread from Roseville Bread Company, and a basket of charcuterie, a bottle of wine and a fat, sweet brownie at Bay Gourmet Market. This is truly a foodie’s paradise.
