South Bank is dialling up the flavour on healthy lunches with a line-up of bowls, salads and plates that hit the spot without weighing you down. Here’s where to go when you want something fresh that still slaps.
Baba Ganouj – Fattoush Smash
This is a salad with main character energy. It’s loaded with greens, tomatoes, radishes and crispy Lebanese bread, all dressed in their zingy signature baba dressing. The best bit? It comes hidden under a dome of fried bread you smash open at the table. Extra? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
Southbeach – Pumpkin Salad
This bowl is peak coastal energy. Think slow-roasted pumpkin and broccolini, creamy ricotta and a heap of roast veg, all tied together with a herby green goddess dressing. It’s nourishing, colourful and made for a sunny table by the river.
Coco Bliss – Falafel Bowl
For the plant-based crew, this one delivers. Falafel brings the crunch, beetroot hummus adds the colour and quinoa and spinach keep things wholesome. Add avo and bruschetta on top and you’ve got a bowl that ticks every box.
Zeus – Chicken Spartan Bowl
Customisable, clean and packed with flavour. Go for grilled chicken with wholemeal pita and Greek salad, then level up with their ultra-creamy tzatziki. It’s like a holiday in every bite.
Fritzenberger – Fried Chicken Salad
Yes, it’s salad. Yes, it has fried chicken. And yes, you need it in your life. Loaded with crunchy veg and drenched in a sesame chilli dressing, this one’s got spice, crunch and a little rebel streak.
Motto Motto – Salmon and Scallop Poke
This bowl is luxe. Salmon and seared scallops get tossed with avo, pickles, fish roe and yuzu soy. It’s fresh, tangy and packed with texture. You won’t want to share.
Healthy eating just got a whole lot more fun.
