Located in beautiful Antique Alley, For His Temple mirrors the owner’s belief that food is medicine. Went in for a first-time visit Saturday with a friend who simply loves this place, constantly raves about it, and now I know why. First, the food is delicious and nourishing. I had a very tasty rainbow salad with the most wonderful chicken pot pie. ( Sorry. No picture available. It looked and smelled so good I began eating immediately!) Apparently they use a unique seasoning blend created by the owner, but I didn’t even ask about the composition. There was no way I would have been able to duplicate it!
Second, the atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Blends in beautifully with the vibes of the newly rebirthed Antique Alley which it skirts. And third, the service is friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable. As a part of the eatery, there are items that can be bought off of the shelf or out of the freezer. And the individuals who own or operate FHT are very approachable when it comes to sharing preparation tips and medicinal uses. All you have to do is ask!

I accidentally stumbled across this place and loved it. The menu always has something new and it all seems very healthy. The house made vinaigrette was so good I bought two bottles to take home. I will definitely come back when I am in the area.

This place is my favorite in West Monroe. So fresh and delicious every time. Tastes like home cooking. They offer two entrees and several sides to choose from every time. The owners are really friendly. The in-store grocery has great, mostly local options that you can’t find anywhere else in town

First, this is a restaurant that also has a selection of health foods/ drinks. When you walk in you come in through the store entrance; the dining area is to the left of the sales counter. Order at the counter then seat yourself. Each day their menu changes and consists of 2 entree choices or soup. With the entree you get 2 sides. They put out the new menu every Sunday (online) and it doesn’t repeat items until 8 weeks. Their grocery selection is small, but probably has some of the most popular items. They have some freezers that carry drinks, eggs, meats, and various frozen foods. They also offer frozen casseroles to take home.
My wife and I ate there today for the first time (2-8-18). I got salmon cakes, potato pancakes & cooked cabbage. My wife got herbed pork, cabbage and scalloped potatoes. We sampled from both plates and all the food was delicious and very flavorful. I saw a salad at the table next to mine and it looked really good and healthy. The staff brings your meal to your table when it’s ready. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. The overall appearance of the place is that it’s very clean, especially the seating areas. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend this place to others.

I have YET to get a meal here that isn’t absolutely delicious and doesn’t make me feel bloated or nauseous after! Everything is so fresh and yummy and just tastes like someone’s ‘healthy grandmother’ made it if that makes sense! It tastes like it should be comfort food, yet the ingredients say otherwise in the BEST way!!! I literally look forward to coming here for lunch and brunch!!

Fantastic locally-owned health-oriented lunch restaurant and grocery store. For lunch, they offer delicious, fresh, locally-sources meals. I highly recommend that you try this restaurant. They support local farms and sell a wide range of vegetables, beef, lamb, eggs and casseroles. Ask about their fresh vegetable service from Inglewood Farms. They also sponsor great events such as classes and Farm-To-Table dinners. If you need a healthy lunch to recharge or if you need celiac/ friendly meals, this is your place. It’s a great place for lunch meetings, healthy family meal or dining alone or quick stop off the Interstate for travelers who want to drop in and get a quick look at the Ouachita River and historic Antique Alley area of West Monroe.

What a blessing to have this restaurant in our community! I love knowing that I can purchase meals that are truly healthy for my body. Each week, the owner works tirelessly to prepare organic, gluten free, and dairy free dishes, casseroles, and desserts to customers, and I have never been disappointed! I absolutely love the Meal Rx service! Because of this service, I’m able to ensure that I have the highest quality meals for an entire week at a time. If you are a working individual or have other time constraints that don’t allow for meal prep, you really need Meal Rx in your life!
I hope you choose to give this restaurant a try! Not only are you supporting a business that is trying to better the health of the community by offering genuinely clean food, you are also supporting local farmers who are vested in producing food that is raised and grown cleanly! Thank you to For His Temple for being the example for others to follow!
