If weekends are made for calories, cocktails, and cheat nights, then weekdays are made for cleaning up our act and getting in our greens – after all, lifes all about balance.
When we’re in the mood for a little health kick to keep that brain power going over the workday we’ll always turn to some of our favourite healthy lunch spots in Perth, from convenient on-the-go takeaway bowls to sit down meals and nutrient-filled smoothies.
1. Mr Potato
Though this Adelaide franchise is labelled as fast-food, it’s not the kind that will be leaving you with regrets.
Mr Potato has very recently joined the Perth food scene, serving up a modern spin on the traditional baked potato. The oh-so-good loaded options are pretty much endless for whatever craving you’ve got going on, and all ingredients are sourced with low-fat, low-sugar, and low-carb in mind.

These guys are more often than not our go-to when in the office for a healthy hit, serving up an extensive range of super delish mix and match salads at prices that won’t break the bank. It’s no wonder there’s often a line out the door here over lunch hours.
