Many restaurants in Dubai now offer healthy options while some cater entirely to fitness enthusiasts. Check out this list of healthy food restaurants in Dubai.
If you are keen on pursuing your health and fitness resolutions for the year, there is still time. For those who socialise and eat out regularly with friends, it can be difficult to follow a healthy plan or diet. But if you are in Dubai, fortunately there are now lots of healthy food restaurants you can choose from to dine in or get food delivered to your doorstep. Check out this list of some of the best healthy food restaurants in Dubai:
1) Heat
What: Heat (Healthy Eats and Treats) cafe offers a variety of low carb, low fat, high protein and other healthy meal options.
Location: Jumeirah, Al Barsha
2. POKE POKE
Simple concept in that they only do poke bowls but you can create loads of different options with this one since you can fully customise your base with a whole range of toppings. You’ll honestly have trouble deciding! It’s kind of like Subway for Poke bowls. So you can easily create low carb or vegan. This is another one which is really good for when you’re in a rush since everything is already prepared and you just select the base and toppings of your choice. Nice and fresh. Also, the staff always seem to be super happy. My tip, go for the small bowl since I found there wasn’t a huge amount of difference in the amount you get between the medium and the small.
Location: Umm Suqeim
3) Bounty Beets
What: This restaurant has a farm-to-table concept, using fresh ingredients to cook organic, gluten-free and vegan food.
Location: Le Meridien Mina Seyahi, Al Sufouh, Dubai Marina
4) FRESHII
The best thing about Freshii is they have a wide range of choice and prepare everything very quickly. So if you’re in a hurry and want something to healthy eat, this is the perfect quick lunch stop. They also do smoothies, breakfast bowls, wraps, soup… So you definitely won’t be stuck for choice and all of it is really good. I really like their vegetable bowls and you can ask them to replace yoghurt with coconut milk in their smoothies. They also do meal plans and you can pick from various options depending on whether you want to eat clean, lose weight or bulk up.
Locations: DIFC, Business Bay, Media City & Healthcare City
5) Baker & Spice
What: Another award-winning restaurant and food shop with local, organic, fresh and homemade produce.
Location : Souk al Bahar, Dubai Marina, Gold & Diamond Park, Souk Al Manzil, Jumeirah
6) ORGANIC FOODS & CAFE
This one you can do your shopping and get a bite to eat plus everything is organic. Their café on Sheikh Zayed Road is a cool little hang out that will make you feel like you’ve taken a quick trip to Europe and they also regularly do healthy eating brunches for 99 AED per person at the SZR branch and The Greens branch. I really like how low key it feels here and it’s nice sometimes to go somewhere more relaxed than the typical Dubai life. Plus it’s generally just good wholesome food. This is a great weekend chilled hangout for sure, and more popular for breakfast or lunch in the day.
Locations: Sheikh Zayed Road, Mirdif, Palm Jumeirah & The Greens
7) Wild & The Moon
What: This restaurant offers fresh juices and foods that are made from wild, local organic, gluten-free, ethically sourced, seasonal and plant-based ingredients.
Location: Alserkal Avenue, Downtown Dubai
8) Nathalie’s
What: A healthy food cafe serving a range of freshly-prepared meals for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, such as salads, sandwiches pizzettes, etc.
Location: Fit Republik, Sports City
