December may be the time to eat, drink and be merry. But it's January when the effects of overindulgence starts taking a toll on the body.It's no surprise therefore that eating healthier and getting fitter are usually in the top five New Year's resolutions.
Eating out while trying to be healthy isn't always easy, but if you're in London, there is a wide choice of venues to try where you can indulge while reaping the benefits of healthy cuisine.
Here are a few of some of the healthiest places to dine out in London.
Darcie & May Green from the Daisy Green Collection
Darcie & May Green, the two eye popping canal boats have recently barged into Paddington Central. Designed by legendary British pop artist Sir Peter Blake in collaboration with Prue Freeman, the fabulous founder of the Daisy Green collection, Darcie & May serve everything from scrumptious brunches through to innovative cocktails. They offer a generous menu with plenty of options for their vegan customers including the jackfruit curry with turmeric rice, coconut sambal, house pickles and flatbread (pictured above).
Yeotown Kitchen
London’s first mindfulness café, serves up deliciously nutritious food and detoxifying freshly pressed juices in a unique meditation station. In a serene environment, guests are invited to sip green juice, settle into a meditation pod, select a 5 to 7-minute guided mindfulness meditation, and emerge feeling refreshed and de-stressed. Yeotown Kitchen is an extension of the Devon-based wellness retreat Yeotown, co-founded by husband and wife team Mercedes Sieff, one of the UK’s leading vinyasa flow yoga teachers and positive psychology coach, and Simon Sieff, avid surfer and yogi.
Redemption Bar
With locations in Notting Hill and Shoreditch, Redemption Bar is London’s only vegan, sugar-free, wheat-free and alcohol-free restaurant, and serves up delicious eats and mocktails in a gorgeous setting. Voted one of the best vegan restaurants in London, the ethos of the Redemption Bar is firmly rooted in caring for the planet while delighting even the most sceptical meat lovers.

The Vurger Co
The Vurger Co offers a mouth-watering 100% plant-based menu packed full of your 5-a-day without missing out on any of the flavour and indulgence. Serving up vurger delights including The Vurger Co’s Auburger, made from aubergines, chickpeas, red onion and vegan cheese, The Vurger Co is definitely a must visit for those wanting to pack in their vegetables whilst not cutting out any of the burger satisfaction.
LIMA Fitzrovia
The menu at Michelin-starred restaurant LIMA Fitzrovia integrates both traditional and contemporary Peruvian cuisine, representing the gastronomic expansion that has taken place in Peru in recent years. Whilst LIMA aims to source much of its produce from within the UK, the restaurant also brings carefully selected and hitherto unheard-of ingredients from small producers in Peru. Many dishes feature exotic and nutrient-rich ‘superfoods’ from the Andes, such as quinoa, yuca root, bee pollen, chia seeds, and cacao.
Macellaio RC
A hearty steak might not seem like the obvious healthy choice this January, but at Macellaio RC they use the highest quality Fassona Beef, a renowned breed carefully selected for its naturally hypertrophic muscle growth among the cows. Even leaner than chicken, the meat is extraordinarily low in fat and cholesterol, whilst also remaining extremely tender. Cooked simply, seasoned with rock salt and olive oil from Tuscany, this is the perfect healthy protein fix to kick off the new year. Macellaio RC has sites in South Kensington, Exmouth Market, Union Street and Northcote Road.
