NO, YOU WON’T GET HIGH FROM THE CBD 

CBD is known for its calming effects, and can help reduce anxiety and pain. From tapas and starters to mains and desserts, Infusion on Long’s menu boasts a variety of cuisines thanks to the three chefs’ varied tastes: Johnathan Le Roux loves Italian cuisine, Gerswin Jacobs enjoys street food, and Preston Hendricks opts for Asian. 

There's a variety of burgers to choose from, but the Triple B brisket burger is a must-try. Image: Infusion on Long 

GET WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES

Go early and enjoy breakfast, opt for a toasted cheese sandwich at lunch or a trio of sandwiches, each with a different filling. Kick off dinner with CBD Dark Star Wings, deconstructed tacos, or Smoked Jay Poppers. For mains, there’s burgers ( a brisket option too), steak, ribs, sushi, or pasta (try the Unda Da Sea Pasta). You can also take it up a notch and opt for fine dining and healthy options like Duck ‘n Baked Beets, lamb rump on a cranberry and mint jus, 28 day aged fillet or an Infusion Caesar Salad or poke bowls.
