Good bye McDonalds and the like, hello Healthy Food! Yes, Healthy Food, because this is the name of a fast food chain with branches in Moscow. And is it possible at all to have healthy fast-food? Well, the following five protagonists in Moscow prove that you can have even more.
Healthy Food is a chain, but you can find one of its branches at Paveletskaya Square 2. Everything they serve here is made from scratch, without the use of frozen convenience foods. They have a variety of soups, salads, pies, sandwiches, pancakes, cheesecakes and vitamin desserts available to eat inside the café, or as takeaway.
On to Hudson Deli, this fast-food place promises everything fresh for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will find the “first progressive fast food in Moscow” at the Presnenskaya embankment, 8/1. The atmosphere here is a combination of a cozy cafe with a relaxed delicatessen counter. They are particularly famous for their shawarma and kebab specials, but there are many other international dishes to satisfy almost every palate.
Then, you have Fresh & Ko on Bolshoy Savvinskiy per. 12 – a salad bar at heart. But don’t worry, they also serve cooked meaty mains, wraps, soups, sandwiches, and desserts. They also offer a good range of seasonal, freshly pressed juices, made to order.
These places have a significant advantage over traditional fast-foods, in that that they never use semi-prepared or frozen products. They count on fresh-from-the-market ingredients, and this shows in the quality of the food. What’s even more important is that they charge less than mainstream restaurants, for fine-dining restaurant-quality dishes.
