No more boring office lunches or highly calorific pick me up snacks, Salade, an innovative café, has made that a thing of the past by lending a fun angle to healthy eating. With branches in Stratton Street and Old Bailey, and a new one that opened recently in Fetter Lane, nutritious food seems to be gaining in popularity. With the 'create your own salad' options, customers can select from a range of bases and over fifty different toppings and dressings.

Kick start your day with a healthy breakfast of porridge, muesli, organic oats and home baked delicacies, supplemented by yoghurt, fruits and fresh juices. These are conveniently available in individual or group portions.

Lunchtime sees such delights as tuna and white bean nicoise, crayfish and parmesan pasta and New York cobb, a delicate blend of crispy baked chicken, bacon, avocados, vine ripened tomatoes with a sprinkling of spring onions and a Stilton dressing.

Vegetarians could try the tabouleh, falafel and a rainbow salad, whose visual appeal is matched only by its taste. For something more substantial, you could try the soft flour tortilla wraps with a variety of tasty fillings.

The theme of light options extends to the dessert and drinks sections with power juices and smoothies making their presence felt. Muffins and carrot cakes are well supported by their cheese and fruit platters.

Salade's informative online menu helps you plan an enjoyable meal there and apart from dining on the premises, they also have takeaways and a delivery service at limited times of the day.
