With a huge office crowd in Island East, there are plenty of healthy lunch spots to takeaway from, whether you want to eat al desko or take it outside and enjoy the sunshine. Try one of these tasty healthy lunch options in Taikoo and Quarry Bay.
Food Le Parc
Essentially a Park N Shop, but with an expanded food section for the lunch crowd. You’ll find Chinese soups (vegetarian and non-vegetarian options both available), a salad bar and deli counter and and healthy-looking Korean rice bowls up with veg. Also has Nosh healthy meal boxes.
Shop 2 & 3, G/F, Westlands Centre, Quarry Bay, 2606-8658.
Ask For Alonzo
This neighbourhood Italian spot keeps things simple with its takeaway menu. Besides pastas and paninis, it also has healthy options, including a buffalo and mozzarella salad, tuna salad, or a zoodles primavera with capers and hazelnuts.
G/F, 18 Hoi Kwong St., Quarry Bay, facebook.com/askforalonzo.
Nutsy Coffee/Bonlicious
Forced out of their previous location due to a rent hike, Nutsy Coffee has now found a home in Blueprint, Swire’s co-working space. It serves awesome co ee, while fellow tenant Bon-Licious handled the food. Expect a regularly rotating menu from fledgling chefs; this unique food startup incubator allows would-be restaurateurs to test their concept in a shared kitchen environment.
