Grab a beer from the fridge if you want to balance out those nutritious decisions.

Treehouse
Treehouse is a haven for anyone on a vegetarian or vegan diet. Located right across from Tai Kwun, the restaurant offers a range of healthy treats ranging from juices and shakes to flatbreads and grain bowls. We are partial to its Forest Burger (featuring a succulent beetroot patty) and Orchid Salad (piled high with kale and romaine lettuce; and topped with its dangerously addictive homemade flatbread chips).

For a well-balanced meal at a healthy price, Supafood has you covered. This superhero-themed fast food spot offers savoury items like salads, wraps, coconut brown rice boxes and oolong tea soba noodle boxes. Meat and fish options are available, such as halibut with honey sriracha and a grass-fed beef bolognese, but the vegetarian options such as baked tofu with sweet miso and baked eggplant with balsamic are just as satisfying. For slow burning fuel, try the coconut chia pudding, carrot cake supaball or one of the smoothies.
