The Ultimate Hong Kong Healthy Lunch List: Central, Soho & Sheung Wan


9 Mins Read

Believe it or not, there are over 100 healthy eating spots on Hong Kong Island alone, and the number continues to grow thanks to the city’s newfound wellness addiction. The most popular search on Green Queen is where to get a healthy lunch, whether it’s for takeaway or a quick sit-down option during a busy lunch break. And so, because we really love you guys, we have taken on the daunting task of putting together a complete guide to eating clean across Hong Kong’s busiest foodie turf, aka Central et al, exploring every nook and cranny of these neighborhoods to discover all the old, new,  and exciting healthy eateries around town.

Here is our ultimate list of all the places you can get your healthy fix across the Central & Western districts—from Admiralty to Soho and all the way to Sheung Wan. We created this so there is ONE place you can check to find the perfect clean eating spot so remember to: #BookmarkMe & #ShareMe

Reader’s Notes: No link = no website; some places are both dine in and takeway, we picked what we thought made the most sense; $ = HKD 50-100, $$ = HKD 100-200, $$$ =HKD 200+

Editor’s Notes: We have tried to be as comprehensive as possible but if we missed anything, please let us know! We will continue to update this list regularly and we hope to create a Hong Kong wide list eventually.
