Whether you're juggling a busy workday or looking for a guilt-free meal out, these restaurants offer nourishing options without compromising on taste.

Burgreen Flagship Menteng

Burgreens has long been a staple in Jakarta’s healthy food scene, and their flagship location in Menteng continues that tradition. The two-storey space not only serves plant-based meals but also shares the building with Jeda Wellnest, a wellness clinic offering yoga classes and health consultations. This adds an extra layer of wellness to your dining experience.

As with their other locations, Burgreens Menteng offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere with its familiar grey tones and quirky murals. The menu, full of vegetarian and vegan options, is as diverse as ever. Popular items like the Kale N’ Bean Lasagna offer a delicious twist on comfort food, filled with wholesome ingredients like broccoli, kale, and bean bolognese.

For something lighter, the Hearty Spring Bowl, with its mix of fresh veggies, tofu, and sesame dressing, is a top choice. Don't forget to try their Vegan Gyoza, perfect for sharing. Wash it all down with a refreshing Detox Red Velvet juice or their signature Es Kopi Abang Max, a soy milk and palm sugar-infused coffee.

Grainsly

Grainsly, a fast-food brand with a focus on healthy, innovative meals, has quickly gained popularity among food lovers in Indonesia, especially as the trend towards healthy living continues to rise. Founded by a doctor and his wife, Reffy Nugraha Halim and Anna Maria, Grainsly aims to make healthy food both accessible and enjoyable. One of their standout products, the Toast Tunacado, a delightful blend of tuna and avocado, became a viral hit a few years ago, further boosting their success.

With branches in Bintaro, Tanjung Duren, Tebet, and other locations, Grainsly continues to expand across Indonesia, with plans to reach Bali soon. Their signature toast, made from whole wheat and topped with a variety of fresh, tasty ingredients, has become a customer favourite. Anna Maria highlights that the crunchy texture and innovative toppings are what set Grainsly apart.

In addition to their popular toast options, Grainsly offers smoothies that complement a healthy lifestyle. Despite their focus on nutrition, Reffy explains that they prioritise taste and customer service above all, ensuring that Grainsly is known for its delicious offerings and commitment to quality, rather than just being labelled as "healthy food."
