Treat your body like a temple at the luxe Golden Door Spa Cafe, part of the Boulders, a five-star resort and spa where the emphasis is on pure ingredients. One of the guiding principles of spa cuisine is small portions, and it sticks to them. The organic, gluten-free sauteed halibut over fresh spinach and arugula tossed with cucumber and pear tomatoes in a thyme vinaigrette is quite enjoyable, especially if you’ve had the foresight to stash a roast-beef sandwich in your glove compartment so you don’t faint from hunger on the drive home. The cafe is open to the public.
