Restaurant anecdotes and photographs capture the lively spirit of Rebar and its people. Since 1989, Rebar Modern Food has been Victoria's favourite restaurant and fresh juice bar featuring fresh, healthy and predominantly vegetarian fare. The upbeat atomsphere and vibrant food has led critics to describe Rebar as "inventive", "hip " and "visionary." In this book, owner Audrey Alsterberg and chef Wanda Urbanowicz share their favourite restaurant recipes.
