FRUITS AND ROOTS

BEST FOR A seriously healthy lunch. FOOD As far as hearty, conscious and nutritious eating in Joburg North goes, this is arguably as creatively healthy as it gets. The vegetarian restaurant boasts a tantalising yet super healthy menu to accommodate all food intolerances. The lunch buffet offers sumptuous vegetarian dishes that will turn you into a regular in no time. In winter, tuck into shepherd’s pie made with lentils and topped with a butternut-andpotato mash. In summer, there’s a variety of pizzas with delectable Mediterranean-inspired toppings. A vegan fridge or baked cheesecake will seal the deal. DRINKS The smoothies, shakes, fruit and veg juices have inspiring names. Why not try the Peaceful Warrior Smoothie made with avo, spinach, spirulina, banana and whey protein? SERVICE Waiters are friendly and helpful, eager to explain what goes into each menu item. AMBIENCE This little corner restaurant feels like the neighbourhood grocer and café where everyone is welcome. (TN)
