Where to find healthy and delicious food in the CBD

Fatigue can be tough to shake off, especially in the middle of a busy workday. Sometimes, all it takes is a quick, healthy lunch to recharge and power through the afternoon. To help you beat that midday slump, we’ve rounded up eight spots in the Central Business District (CBD) that serve meals that are both nutritious and delicious—perfect for a lunchtime pick-me-up.

Les Mains Deli

Craving a hearty meal to power you through the rest of the day? Build your perfect salad bowl at Les Mains Deli. The store, located opposite Maxwell Food Centre and KADA, offers a wide selection of premium, house-made ingredients for you to customise your own salad bowls. Think— creamy avocados to hearty slabs of beef flank. Whether you’re craving something light or filling, choose from three bowl sizes, all generously portioned and reasonably priced.

Start with a flavourful base like Garlic or Red Cherry Basmati rice, then add proteins such as Oven-Baked Salmon or Lentil Meatballs for a satisfying bite. Top it off with bold garnishes like furikake and spicy cashew nuts, or add a dash of daikon pickles or savoury mayak egg to add more flavour to your bowl.

Finish with a drizzle of chipotle vinaigrette or tangy yuzu dressing for that final kick of flavour. To round out your meal, treat yourself to a lemon pound cake or sip on a sweet strawberry matcha. To top it all off, they have no GST or service charges either.
