Healthy Dining - Northeast Ohio - Cutler Real Estate

When New Year's comes around, most people recommit to living a healthier lifestyle. However, as the months go by, it gets a bit harder to stick to these resolutions. 

If you want to keep focusing on your nutrition, finding some healthy restaurants can really help! Luckily, there are many excellent choices in Northeast Ohio. Here are a few of our favorites. 

Town Hall 

1909 W. 25th St., Cleveland, OH 44113

If you believe that being healthy is all about balance, you'll love the vibe at Town Hall. They're committed to offering a menu that's fully non-GMO and mostly organic. Even better, the menu is created by an in-house nutritionist.

There's no shortage of healthy options on the menu, from vegan chili and bone broth to poke bowls and salads. You'll also find tasty items like Curry Chicken Noodle bowls, Food Truck Tacos, Keto Fried Chicken, Korean BBQ Flat Breads, and more!

Named one of the healthiest fast-casual restaurants in the country, REBOL Urban Cafe offers a menu full of non-GMO, organic, vegan, gluten-free, keto, and paleo-friendly items. They also serve both dine-in and carry-out meals so you can "eat like you give a damn" while social distancing.

When you dine here, you can expect to find meals made of pasture-raised chicken, grass-fed meats, low-mercury seafood, and more. You'll also enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, pastries, bowls, broths, and non-toxic coffee. We love the "Build Your Own Bol" options since we can create so many different healthy and delicious combinations. 

pHuel Cafe

1350 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44115

For delicious, healthy American cuisine, you can't go wrong with dining in or ordering takeout from pHuel Cafe. They insist on only using high-quality ingredients and serve delicious meals like a Portabella Sandwich, Ahi-Tuna Bowl with Quinoa, or a Kimchi Stir Fry. You'll also love their healthy drink options like Kale-Ade, Ginger Get Well, and Green Smoothies. 

Johnny Mango

3120 Bridge Ave., Cleveland, OH 44113

When you're ready for a bit of excitement in your life, head over to Johnny Mango to try some of their healthy dishes made with a Mexican, Caribbean, and Asian flare. They offer a selection of meatless meals, most of which are gluten-free. This includes a delicious Fried Tofu, Miso Soup with Asian Greens and Soba Noodles, and killer Vegan Nachos. The menu also includes burritos, quesadillas, Pad Thai, a selection of salads, and more! You'll also love their brunch menu and juice bar.

If you're not into vegan fare, don't worry! They also have healthy stone oven pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, and breakfast foods.  

Munch: A Simple Kitchen

28500 Miles Rd. Suite J, Solon, OH 44139

One of the area's favorite vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants, Munch offers an incredible selection of healthy foods. They don't just serve veggie items, though. Take a look through their menu, and you'll see sandwiches made with off-the-bone turkey, salads with oven-roasted chicken breast, pastrami sandwiches, and more. 

While everything on the menu is good, we really love the falafel, tabbouleh, and the Israeli salad. For take-out, we suggest trying the Family Falafel Kit. They're just $15 per person, and you can order for 2 to 15 people. It's so much fun to take and make at home!

Located just a few minutes outside of downtown Cleveland, Vino Veritas Cellars lets you enjoy any of their wines by the glass or by the bottle. If you're not sure which ones you'd love, try a selection of them in a flight. You're also invited to make an afternoon of your visit by packing a picnic and eating it at the wine bar or on the grounds near a pond. The staff can also recommend local restaurants that deliver to the winery if you'd prefer a restaurant meal with your wine. Hours are noon-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and by reservation only Monday-Thursday.
