This cool new Abu Dhabi restaurant is proud to be different

Whilst we love doing few things more than brunching and feasting our way through Abu Dhabi’s many restaurants, we also know we simply can’t just live on a diet of chocolate fountains and loaded fries all the time.

Keeping healthy is also important to us, and so we were thrilled to hear that healthy-eating restaurant ZEROFAT has just opened up a branch in the city. First launched in Al Ain in 2016, the homegrown brand specialises in healthy food they promise also tastes good.

It’s not all carb-free salads and plates of vegetables either. Looking through the menu, you might be thinking that some of the dishes look too delicious to possibly be healthy. But the venue promises they are.

We can’t think of a better way to start the day than with one of the the breakfast plates, and the peanut butter and banana pancakes immediately grabbed our attention (is there a better combination in the world? We highly doubt it). But there are also omelettes with a variety of fillings, classics like eggs benedict and refreshing acai bowls.

Or, if you’re eating later in the day, the options sound good, too.

We honestly don’t know where to start with our long list of favourites, but the huge sandwiches and burgers definitely deserve a mention. The big hitters include the mighty ‘shroom beef burger, which comes loaded with toppings in a wholewheat bun, and the roasted chicken sandwich, which features layers of creamy avocado and low-fat cheese.

The main courses have a lot to offer too, with bowls of nutritious carbs like chicken and mushroon pasta, plus healthy pizzas with a variety of toppings (we think the burrata option, pictured, possibly looks the best).

If you can’t get enough of ZEROFAT, then you can always look at their customised meal-plan service and make these recipes a part of your daily routine. The balanced meals are ideal if you’re working towards achieving particular goals, or if you simply want to make sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need.

We love eating guilt free.
