Top 10 Healthy Restaurants
Want to grab a bite without sacrificing your waistline? Here are our top picks for healthy restaurants that serve guilt-free dishes.
1. Mana! Fast Slow Food
The eco-friendly Mana takes pride in offering fresh and hearty organic dishes that are vegan, raw or gluten-free. The oven-baked flatbreads with za’atar (an Eastern Mediterranean blend of herbs and spices) are a hit with loyal diners, with a choice of over 20 nutritious toppings and fillings, from grilled tofu to halloumi, baba ganoush and fries. Other favorites include seasonal salads, soups, juices and shakes.

2. Grassroots Pantry
Grassroots Pantry is an advocate for sustainable “farm-to-table” dining as well as the slow-food movement. To ensure dishes are nutritious, flavorful and of the highest quality, the menu is changed according to the season with ingredients locally supplied by Homegrown Foods and Zen Organic Farm. One of their signature dishes is the spicy and refreshing red beetroot and lentil salad ($90) or if your liver is in need of a good cleanse post-alcohol outing, the liveraid palate cleanser ($55) with lemongrass, pineapple, spinach, green apple and lemon will do you a world of good.

3. Eat Right Restaurant and Wine Bar
Believing that the “pleasure of eating out should not come at the expense of eating well," the chefs and nutritional experts at Eat Right offer healthy and conscious yet tasty food choices using only wholesome and organic ingredients. Most dishes on their menu are labelled with a calorie count, ensuring you can pick the right food (or daily calorie count) for yourself. Roasted lamb racks ($255) with stuffed artichokes, pistou, caramelized garlic & jus nicoise may be what you want to try there. They also offer the Eat Right Food Programme, where meals are tailor-made and delivered to the door. If you’re quite the busy bee, opt for the Office Heavy Hitter package, which includes three meals and two snacks, delivered daily to your desk during the week.
