The menu is DIY-friendly, offering the opportunity to build your own bowl by choosing the base, the mix (protein and extra veg), and the flavour, as well as highlighting some of their own favourites. … Continue reading Wokit

Rosa’s Thai
Searching for a vege-friendly Asian eatery for a large family dinner, I chose Rosa’s Thai. From a humble street stall on Brick Lane in 2008, Rosa’s Thai has grown into a much-loved chain of London restaurants in Spitafields, Soho, Westfields, Carnaby, Chelsea, Angel and now Victoria. Hoping to enjoy authentic Thai fare as much as … Continue reading Rosa’s Thai
Ethos
Next on my healthy London eateries to-go-to list was Ethos, an entirely vegetarian self-service café. Although I say Ethos was on my restaurant list, my friend was deciding on where we’d meet. This really is a first for me – normally, my companions consider me to be the “restaurant guide” and allow me choose our … Continue reading Ethos
Blixen
Newly launched Blixen, in the heart of Old Spitalfields Market, is a fashionable take on the timeless brasserie concept and is just one example of the culinary regeneration around Liverpool Street. What once was an illustrious old bank branch, typical of so many Square Mile buildings, has been given a grand café sprucing up by … Continue reading Blixen
Juicebaby
Juicebaby is a healthy eatery on the King's Road which opened in October 2014. Its philosophy is "little by little" as ultimately, it's the little changes and choices that we can make in our eating habits that can make a big difference. Perhaps it's because my of own experiences and the game-changing role that diet … Continue reading Juicebaby
The Gate
Having been to the Gate a number of times, I selected the restaurant again for a vegan-themed date! Although purely vegetarian restaurants are often a disappointing tour around typical dishes from around the world (a la Mildred’s), the Gate is far more innovative, serving an unusual combination of Indian, Arab and Jewish cuisines, mixed with … Continue reading The Gate
Grain Store Unleashed
Grain Store Unleashed, an exciting new pop-up venture by Chef Bruno Loubet and The Zetter Group, was open for a limited period only at The Zetter Hotel. Reading reviews of pasta-free "ravioli" immediately attracted me to the idea of dining at Grain Store Unleashed on a work lunch. What's more, Bloomberg's opening line of its … Continue reading Grain Store Unleashed
Nusa Kitchen
"Eat East" is how Nusa Kitchen describes itself and as I was in the mood for Asian cuisine for a working lunch, I ventured to Nusa. From their colourful and playful website, I learn that Patou, one of the founders of the venture, grew up in Singapore and could never resist the delicious soups being sold … Continue reading Nusa Kitchen
Morada Brindisa Asador
Surprisingly, it was my sister who discovered details of the soft-launch of Tapas Brindisa's latest sibling, Morada Brindisa Asador, based in Piccadilly. Normally, I’m the first to know about the latest openings. However, as I was enjoying a holiday in Kenya at the time, I fell off the band-wagon of soft-launches. And a welcome back … Continue reading Morada Brindisa Asador

Nama is also a raw food restaurant . Listed in so many guides to healthy … Continue reading Nama Foods
