Here are the best health cafes in Bangkok
These are the top restaurants to watch your calories with a crisp, green salad, cold-pressed juice or nutritious wrap.
This clean-eating spot is an offshoot of the fitness empire known for their Pilates and yoga studios and gourmet health food delivery service. They offer low-calorie, high-nutrient foods free of chemical additives, hormones, trans fats and refined sugars, and the best part? It actually tastes good. Their superfood-rich offerings range from spicy zucchini quinoa salads to guilt-free blueberry chocolate tarts, made with spelt flour, cocoa, almond and coconut oil.
2/F, The Portico, Lang Suan Rd., 091-8720885. Open daily 7am-7pm.
Helmed by the Bangkok nutritionist known online as Ms Happy Diet, this superfood cafe in the stylish EmQuartier serves up antioxidant-rich acai pulp smoothie bowls amid pink-washed interiors. The chocolate-topped Unstoppabowl will have you hooked with its blend of granola, fresh fruit, cacao nibs, chia seeds and goji berries, or for a lighter health-kick try the simple yet effective acai smoothie.
B/F, EmQuartier, Sukhumvit Rd., 098-859-8747. Open daily 10am-10pm.
With its high ceilings, abundant natural light and jungle of ferns barely clinging to the ceiling, this modern vegan restaurant (no meat, eggs, dairy, oyster sauce or fish sauce) stands out from its backpacker-oriented peers. Don’t miss the broccoli quinoa charcoal burger.
899 Sukhumvit Soi 49, 02-662-5001. Open Mon-Fri 9am-10pm; Sat-Sun 7am-10pm.

Bangkok’s best-loved vegan bakery flowers into a full-blown restaurant at this modern-rustic spot, offering a whole lot more than rabbit food.

Desserts remain a specialty, with a menu touting vegan waffles, cashew nut cheesecakes and Nutella frappes that look anything but dairy-free.
35/2 Soi Methi Niwet, Sukhumvit Rd., 02-258-8489. Open daily 10am-10pm. Other branches: MercuryVille, Siam Paragon.
Put on your stretchy pants, forget about the macros and tuck in to BK Best Eats 2018. This is the Bangkok dining that ignores fancy restaurants and 10-course tasting menus and goes straight for the comfort food—steaming bowls of fat-rich ramen, triple-decker burgers, all-you-can-eat dim sum buffets with an extra helping of pork buns. In other words, the stuff most of us eat out, most of the time.
