6 Healthy Hangouts In Dubai

For post workout eats or healthy catch-ups with friends, these cafes are hard to beat 

Baker And Spice
Open at Souk Al Bahar, Al Manzil and Marina Promenade, this organic café already has a firm fan base in the city. Our favourite still has to be the original café by the Dubai Fountain. It makes the perfect breakfast pitstop after that early morning workout.
Call (04) 425 2240 or visit bakerandspiceme.com

Organic Foods And Café
Dubai Mall wins on the supermarket, but the Greens still wins for the café. This cosy hideaway serves up granola, wraps and risotto from 9am.
Call (04) 361 7974 or visit organicfoodsandcafe.com.

Saladicious Deli
This healthy café that spills out on to the JBR walk during the winter months, is the perfect place to catch up with friends. It serves more than salad, but why pass up such delicious treats as the mozzarella and tomato Caprese dish or almond and berry Cinderella Salad?
Call (04) 423 0855 or visit saladicious.com/deli

Balance Café
Oasis Mall on Sheikh Zayed Road is home to a real healthy find – the ayurvedic Balance Café. You can practice your downward dog at the Balance Wellness Centre or hit the treadmill at Fitness First next door, then join your friends for a mouthwatering breakfast or lunch. You have five menus to choose from according to your element, but you can’t really go wrong as it all tastes delicious.
Call (04) 515 4051 or visit balance-wellness-centre.com.

The Lime Tree
The Jumeira branch of The Lime Tree home of mums post school run during the week, and carb-loading cyclists and surfers at the weekend. It’s one of the few cafes in Dubai where we happy to queue for food – and why? Because frankly, it’s delicious.
Call (04) 349 8498 or thelimetreecafe.com

The Pantry
The latest healthy hideaway to join the party. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, you can get your five-a-day fix. Quinoa, fresh salads, artisan breads and smoothies are just some of the items available on the menu.
Find it at Al Wasl Square.
