Everything on Trilogy Sanctuary’s menu is designed to nourish the body and spirit. In his illustrated menu, artist Andrew McGranahan centers this oceanside haven’s health-conscious mission.
La Jolla, CA
After a delicious brunch and great chat with Trilogy’s manager, I dug deeper into their menu, as well as checked out their social media accounts for inspiration. I wanted to capture the feel of La Jolla by the Sea (where Trilogy is located), as well as the restaurant’s spiritual healing energy.
The first thing I noticed when I stopped onto their upstairs patio was the beautiful ocean view. The vibe in Trilogy really stands out from the rest of the neighborhood—it truly is a little sanctuary.
A combo of Trilogy’s spirit and my own personal style. I built my palette around the restaurant’s mint green color scheme and took a lot of inspiration from other details inside: a large lotus/mandala mural, the rooftop geodesic dome, aerial yoga classes… Simply spending time in their space informed a lot of my choices.
It’s hard to choose, but my favorites are: Trilaquilles (Latin-style eggz on handmade corn tortillas, with pumpkin seed mole, avocado, pico & sour cream) and their cold pressed juices.
Five words: conscientious, healthy, delicious, unique, quality.
Trilogy is meant to be a home for people to decompress and heal—when you eat here, you get the unique experience of dining on a rooftop with ocean views, mellow music and plenty of sunshine.
He got the essence of something we call “Zen Circus.” Which is to say our spontaneity: brunch after a relaxing yoga class in the morning, cirque show and dance party at night!
The Adora Bowl. It’s our least expensive bowl, but the portion is generous and the flavors are mouthwatering. Plus, it’s loaded with macrobiotics and probiotics!
Seared Spring Rolls! Our homemade mint quinoa and peanut sauce make them extra special.
The BLT Crepe. It’s made with eggplant bacon, lettuce, roma tomatoes, and drenched in our secret sauce.
