Leek & Thistle — Restaurant in Richmond

I saw this store had finally opened, so I stopped in to check it out! They carry homemade, local products, mainly prepared frozen and refrigerated meals, as well as quite the wine collection. Everyone was very friendly, and they offered me a free food sample! I got a ciabatta sandwich, a few soups to try, and their blackberry rhubarb crumble. The coconut curry sweet potato bisque was so delicious!!! I'm not even much of a soup person, but I really enjoyed it - and since it's a bisque, you could also use it as a drizzle atop other dishes.

After trying different ways to have convenient yet healthy and wholesome dinners, including Home Chef and Clean Eatz, I am really impressed by Leek & Thistle's meal selections, which include meat and meatless dishes, soups, sides, and even burritos and dessert entrees.

Also, unlike the single portions of the other companies, the portions come in 16oz or 32oz containers, so I can get two to four meals from one container. That's a much better value for the money I'm spending. There is also a small refrigerated section of fresh pre-packaged sandwiches and wraps, and a large selection of wines and a bar. I highly recommend...
