Wholesome food for the health-conscious

Sometimes, a little extra boost of plant power is all we need. And as much as we love indulging in the decadent stuff, we adore wholesome, fresh, locally sourced produce-to-plate eateries too!  

From raw cold-pressed elixirs, organic chicken lunch menus to an all-fig-everything café, these spots are bursting with nutritious morsels.

Boost your health and wellbeing and eat your way around the Bay with some of these nourishing eateries.
