London's Best Restaurants for Healthy Eating

All In London's list of London's best Restaurants for Healthy Eating

On the whole, it's fair to say that London is a city which gives plenty of opportunity for its inhabitants to be a healthy. As, for every fast food burger joint and fried chicken house there's a smoothie bar and salad emporium... with associated Virgin Active gym.

However, healthy food doesn't always have the best reputation when it comes to flavour... maybe the idea of mung bean and alfalfa salad doesn't cut it with many of you, so we've put together a list of restaurants which don't just serve healthy food - but blinkin' tasty, healthy food.

The list

Masala Zone
75 Bishops Bridge Road W2 6BG

This chain of Indian restaurants uses little oil and no cream in their cooking. Ordering a thali is a good way of getting a balanced meal comprising rice, vegetables, a chapati, dal and a salad. Also ideal for those on a budget.

Gauthier Soho
21 Romilly Street W1D 5AF

Unusually for a Michelin-starred chef, Alexis Gauthier puts the calorie count of each dish on the menu. He is also a big fan of vegetables so they are rarely treated as a mere accompaniment. The reason is that Alain Ducasse-trained Gauthier was diagnosed with fatty liver disease in 2010, and he's had to watch what he eats ever since. For diners this means they can enjoy fine dining while keeping an eye on their waistline.

Mela
152-156 Shaftesbury Avenue WC2H 8JB

Mela keep the fat and oil content in their dishes to a minimum. Rather than focus on a specific region, the menu features dishes from all over India, with more unusual treats like lobster pepper fry curry and potatoes stuffed with cashew nuts and cooked in the tandoor oven.

inSpiral lounge
Camden High Street NW1 8QS

Camden's inSpiral proves to sceptics that healthy, vegan/raw food can be delicious and varied too. Raw food is cooked at under 46 degrees, meaning most nutrients are preserved. inSpiral's alternative to crisps are dehydrated kale chips, which might not sound like the sexiest of foods but are in fact incredibly moreish, and come in different flavours including cacao and cinnamon and cheesy purple corn.

Hummus Bros
37-63 Southampton Row Bloomsbury WC1B 4DA

Every dish at Hummus Bros is hummus-based, examples include hummus with slow-cooked chunks of beef or tender chicken with sun-dried tomatoes. Eschew pitta bread in favour of gluten-free bread, rice crackers or carrot sticks for a super healthy dinner; and with desserts and salads available too you won’t leave hungry.
