No matter how many alarms you slept through or buses you missed, lunch can redeem even the most disheartening morning.
If you’re in the CBD of Auckland you’ll know the options are overwhelming, which can make things problematic. It’s hard to know the direction to dash in when you’re looking for something quick, tasty, and not deep-fried, so let us help you out.
Here we have compiled the top list of where to chow down on a healthy workday lunch.
Choose from your favourite Vietnamese dishes and let Hello Mister take care of lunch. With rice rolls, bańh mi, buń, and phò, Hello Mister’s street food is the perfect choice for a healthy and flavoursome meal, leaving you energised and satisfied. The pork phò is a serious winner and is sure to keep you full until dinner time.
The little hideaway secret of High Street, Chuffed is your go-to for a quick sandwich or salad. If a Reuben on rye doesn’t fit into your idea of healthy, grab a salad of the day and add some free-range chicken, it hits the spot every time while contributing to your protein quota.
Healthy and affordabl, Jess is supplying the goods as you can mix and match your (actually pretty big) small salad for only $10. The options at JUK change so regularly that a recommendation would be useless, so trust us when we say that Jess’s cabinets provide nothing less than a flavour-packed experience perfect for your weekday lunch.
Yes, it’s true, Lowbrow does more than its famous sandos. Pop on into St Kevin’s Arcade and grab one of Lowbrow’s healthier alternatives such as the caesar salad or grilled cauliflower. Pick a day where you’ve got time to enjoy the lively atmosphere that K Road is known for, and get stuck in. Make sure you avoid eye contact with the dessert menu – You were warned.
Flavour-packed and organic salads that regularly change, Scarecrow puts all the hard-work into a healthy packed lunch so you don’t have to. Take one of these away with you if you must, but this is a great spot for a quick and relaxed catch up with a friend or workmate. Enjoy the calming atmosphere away from the office and grab a healthy slice from the enticing cabinet too.
If you’re vegan and you know it, head over to Revive on Wyndham Street for a hidden heaven. Revive has salads like you’ve never seen before – And a lot of them! Mix and match multiple options (did someone say Asian miso quinoa?) and finish your order off with one of their delicious vegan slices and a smoothie.
Affordable and contributes towards your 5+ a day. Ha! Poke is nestled into Auckland University’s strip of campus life and provides a ridiculously flavoursome array of options. If your love lies with edamame, kimchi, teriyaki glaze, fresh tuna, or king salmon, this is the place for you as midday hits. We recommend adding on avocado as they dish out a generous scoop.
