"With health and wellness being at the top of the foodie agenda once again, my search for amazing health food cafes in London suddenly got a lot easier. I even saw an article about green juice on the Daily Mail the other day- talk about mainstream! And although I'm truly a newbie to this way of eating, I am (literally) hungry for more. Thus today I am sharing one of my newly found favourites: Maple Fitz At the launch of ClassPass in London at Barry's Bootcamp we were kindly fed post-workout by Maple Fitz. We indulged in fresh, tasty and healthful salads that gave us that post-sweat pick me up in style. If you've never heard of them then get yourself down to their Fitzrovia store ASAP! Maple Fitz specialises in healthy, honest and whole foods. Everyday salads are made fresh and served up with optional extras such as chicken, salmon or halloumi cheese. My favourites include the Mexican Bean Salad, the dairy free Caeser Kale Salad and the vibrant Red Cabbage Soba Noodle Salad. You can mix and match 3-5 salads to eat in or take away, then explore their yummy treat table for healthy but naughty goodies. Whilst enjoying your salad why not soak up more vitamins with a gorgeous juice. These too are freshly made and stored in the beverage fridge to grab and go. Last time I visited I went for the Little Miss Sunshine to wake me up. This features a delicious blend of orange, grapefruit, lime, ginger and cayenne pepper. Now if anything is going to shake off any post-night-out tiredness it's definitely this juice. Prices start at £6.95 for takeaway. Maple Fitz can be found at: 36A Berners St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 3LY"

"Time to cast ourselves back. That is, I must confess that s.o. and I made this visit some time ago. But life gets in the way, and blog posts are put on hold. But now, with nothing but the dregs of the summer ahead of me, it's time to get going again. I'll make things simple for the both of us. OX 184 is great. When I first moved to Edinburgh in 2011, I was living on the Cowgate. *shock*, *horror*, I hear you say, and, well, it was. But now that OX have moved in, and are capitalizing on a distinct lack of trendy and contemporary bars on the road, I'm not sure that I wouldn't move back there. (N.B. notice the double negative). But in all seriousness, OX is a great joint. I really felt that both the atmosphere and the service hit the proverbial nail on the head and, having just got back from NYC, I think this place keeps up with the best of them. What's more is that I LOVE the fact that OX serve their full menu well into the night, which means if you are among those who like to hit the Hive every now and again, you can always jump out for a bite between disco dancing to One Direction and Nicky Minaj. S.O. and I ate a burger, a strip of pork belly, a plate of fries, some coleslaw, and a couple of lobster buns, because honestly, why wouldn't you? All of the above was really great, and was what it said on the tin. We both agreed that the lobster buns were particularly tasty, and that we could have just had a plate of those. But, for there is a but, we were well aware that this menu caters for a particular kind of clientele. Separate friends of ours have lamented both the non-vegetarian friendliness of the place and the trendiness. But from our point of view, these were the two things we liked most about OX. I really think OX is a game changer for the Cowgate, and in a very good way. The food falls right between fine dining and 3 o'clock in the morning sopping-up-my-mistakes. That is to say, it's neither, but it's pretty tasty fare for a knees up."

"by esin huseyin the grill market could feel a greasy airflower serving dripping burgers - they will be glad to know that this is not another burger review. the grill market was reopened recently after a month of renovation, so I decided that it was the perfect time to drive to holborn and see what it was about. it led a small debate between me and koray, as though the place a “handful”, eating for us justified more of a restaurant vibe, and they will find out why. well, I really went past this place, quite possibly because I am not normally a holborn girl, but I think mainly because grill market is very used with its shopfront and color palette. large windows on both sides of the building to create a lot of natural light, as well as the use of wood, metal and gray – it created a clean and friendly environment. the open kitchen and seating opportunity, created a warmer environment, and even allows them to be a bit more involved in the food – they can see what is being prepared, and the smells from the kitchen entice them. As I said, it is all quite neutral – but the fun and the color is injected through their food. I want to say that in the hour or so that I was here, this place had a constant flow of people, and even had a squeeze to most of my time there. it may be because I visited during the midday hours, but in any case it was a good sign – there were even calls of people in “Oh, it’s changed here...” concerning me when they can keep regular customers in a city that constantly grows and expands, they my friend, earn a medaille. grill market has a few menus to choose from; breakfast, lunch and salad. I decided of course for the lunch menu and decided to go a little light with a mixed salad and fresh hot halloumi from the grill. before I ordered, my exact words were “I am not much salad man...” – I was wrong, so wrong, that I will eat my hat halloumi. now a little more about the salads, here were the selections I had to choose: tomato, broth, red planks, caps, roasted paprika basilikum. chickpeas, mais, korrian, early on onions harissa dressing. cous cous, quinoa, bulgian weiz, roasted courgette, minze, feta pint nuts. kale, bon, hazelnuts, with an orange ingwer dressing. carrots, white red cabbage, green paprika, vinage I would be here for age groups if I went into detail about each individual salate – but there were some that I loved more than others. the cous cous was my favorite; the note of feta and mint that came through were amazing, and super refreshing. the salat that had actually brot was really incredible – now this brot was actually wet from the dressur used, and wet brot is usually a huge artpas. in the word of the child; it was not a “No no no no no no”, but it was a huge “yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes” moment. if they don't know this reference, I'm old. the contrast between the hot eating from the grill and the cold salad – simply worked. they are not the first to do this, but I feel that the choice of salads they have used was not only original, but honestly, it would be something for everyone. if they are in a little hurry, they can also take it away in a box that is good for the location, as it is mainly office space around holborn. the salads were all freshly made on this day, and they could taste that the salads were still crispy! salate tends to go a bit meh when it sits in his dressing for one because. and the one thing to mention that the salads all change once in a because, so they will never look bored – we are quite trying to get back to a few weeks! this week it was a Persian lamb flat brot. nom. there are many reasons why I enjoyed my visit and would go back; the friendly mood of the place (they were even old j, I know that I said this in another review on the other day, but they come up. , friendly staff (they even knew their ancestors well, good eating, but also the fact that they don't rely on their food alone because it regularly changes. that is for me success, not to mention, if they can make me eat a plate of salad and be full of it, it is worthy of assessment. for our non-food-related reviews and functions or updates to the reviews we have published here on zomato, please visit our website."
