Everything at Milos is so delicious; guests may be surprised to learn how clean and healthy the food is.

30 St Martin’s Lane, WC2N 4ER

Everything at this Persian restaurant is homemade—and you can tell. Each component of the concise menu has freshness and depth, thanks to the fact it has all been made onsite. This means everything is healthier as well. By making everything from bread to yoghurt to tapenade daily, it eliminates the need for preservatives and other curing agents typically found in certain foods. Plus, grilled meats and veg heavy sides mean healthy is accessible—and delicious.

Gold portabello

Gold

95-97 Portobello Road, W11 2QB

This stylish Notting Hill restaurant selects the best produce for their seasonal menu, and then uses it to create innovative dishes that balance simplicity and flavour. Minimal intervention, coupled with wood roasting and slow cooking, leads to dishes that are unexpected and new. The most significant section of the menu is devoted explicitly to vegetables—you could order a sampling just of them, and be satisfied. Should your healthy resolution not include omitting alcohol, Gold has a thoughtful natural wine list.

Rovi

Rovi

59 Wells Street, W1A 3AE

The healthy ethos at this offering from Yotam Ottolenghi extends beyond the veg-focussed menu and into gut-healthy preparations, such as fermentation and cooking over fire. Items like a mixed grill and the use of spices like Aleppo chilli, plus homemade kimchi and fermented tomato, mean a flavour explosion. The wine list spotlights natural and low-intervention bottles, and the fermentation focus continues on the drinks menu, with homemade kombucha and drinking vinegar.
