London’s 10 best diet-friendly restaurants

If you’re not dieting or detoxing, don’t let your social circle stagnate: instead, organise nights out at restaurants that won’t lead you astray. Whether you’re looking for calorie-conscious menus, determined to dine out in a more sustainable way, or striving for a bit of inner harmony, here is the ultimate collection of healthy-eating and feel-good restaurants.

Amico Bio, Clerkenwell

Well-dressed salads share centre stage with meat-free pastas and wholemeal risottos at this virtuous Italian vegetarian in Clerkenwell, where the ingredients are organic and the ‘body as temple’ philosophy well-grounded. Go for grains with pan-fried spelt cake, crispy aubergines and salsa verde or keep things green with pennette pasta with broccoli and tofu. What’s more, the wine list is wholly vegetarian or vegan, and organic to boot.

Bread Street Kitchen, City

Gordon Ramsay’s gargantuan City diner has hopped on the raw bar trend, offering sprightly starters such as carpaccio of octopus with capers, black olives and saffron vinaigrette, or salmon ceviche with ruby grapefruit, jalapeño, lime and coriander. Dishes such as roasted lobster with ginger, chilli and garlic should keep you on track for the main courses – though you’ll need a hefty willpower to turn down puds such as chocolate tart with salted caramel ice cream and honeycomb

Cassis Bistro, South Kensington

SW3 is the epicentre of looks-conscious London, so it’s no surprise that Cassis Bistro has enlisted personal trainer Matt Roberts (responsible for the physiques of stars such as Naomi Campbell) to help the kitchen develop a calorie-controlled menu. On the special menu, main courses each clock in at less than 400 calories, while a combination of any two courses never exceeds 650 calories. Packed with slow-release energy foods and ‘good’ fats, these dishes will have you looking and feeling your best without you lifting a finger. 

Wright Brothers, Soho and Borough
