From the ruby red beet logo to the calming atmosphere and seasonal menu, it’s clear that patrons of the new 6,500-sq.-ft. Glow restaurant will be in for a healthy gastronomic treat.
“Our vision was to create a unique healthy, balanced lifestyle restaurant that incorporates the philosophy of eating clean, eating well and doing it right on a consistent basis,” says Peter Higley, president and owner of The Pickle Barrel and the man who is bringing Glow to the Shops at Don Mills. “We chose the Shops at Don Mills for our launch because it’s a unique one-of-a-kind destination where people will come together to enjoy exceptional food, shopping and activities all year round.”

At the helm of Glow is Rose Reisman, Toronto’s renowned caterer, author and entrepreneur. In fact, the Glow concept is based on Rose’s philosophy of a healthy, balanced lifestyle that addresses all aspects of a person’s life including eating and taking the time to enjoy the company of friends and family.

Rose is already the name behind The Pickle Barrel’s highly successful Art of Living Well healthy menu choices, designed for diners looking for healthier food options without sacrificing flavour or quality. Most recently, she inspired and designed the Under 500 Calories and Locally Grown menus for The Pickle Barrel’s nine locations.
With Glow, Rose will continue to focus on healthy, fresh, local food. Creative and imaginative cooking techniques will use fresh and flavourful ingredients free of heavy sauces and dressings. Meal selections will be seasonal and incorporate local produce when available.
“All the menu items will have a glow about them and there will always be vibrant colours on your plate to remind you that you are eating the best foods,” says Rose.
In fact, everything about Glow radiates a delicious and healthy experience. The interior design features natural materials such as wood, stone and fabric, while natural light permeates all areas of the space for a rejuvenating and calming feeling. The restaurant’s beet logo alludes to the richness of healthy vegetables in the dark soil, reinforcing the back-to-nature message.
And with Glow’s 100-seat patio overlooking the Shops at Don Mills’ outdoor ice skating rink, healthy living is certainly what it’s all about.

I am at Glow almost every day and here's what one of the patrons had e-mailed me:
"Dear Mrs. Reisman,
Tonight you offered me the menu in line at Glow Restaurant. A patron has never offered me a menu before. You quickly left the restaurant and I said I think that was Rose Reisman. You looked beautiful in your dress and so fit. They confirmed it was you when we were seated.
The menu is lovely. I had the crab cakes which were delicious. My friend had the chicken satay appetizer, Cobb salad, a side order of couscous and a triple chocolate mousse dessert. We really enjoyed the food and will visit again soon. The three dip complementary appetizer is a very nice touch.
Congratulations on your new menu. I will take my family there as well.
Best regards,
Trina Ross"
It means so much to me that everyone is enjoying the restaurant!
Come by and try my special shot glass desserts,
Rose
