If you’re looking for healthy-eating spots in Dubai, here are three excellent restaurants worth checking out — plus tips on how to make the most of healthy dining in the city (from your friendly psychology-student-friend).

1) Healthy Dose restaurants – JLT, Dubai

Why this place is good:

  • Located in JLT (Cluster J), making it accessible and convenient for lunch or a casual healthy dinner.

  • According to business listing info, it specifically focuses on health-food cuisine.

  • A recent guide lists JLT among areas where “healthy food restaurants” are concentrated.
    Tip for you: Since you’re interested in improving fitness and overall wellbeing, try a bowl-based meal here (greens + lean protein + whole-grain) and pair it with water or fresh juice. Ask staff for macro-friendly options.

2) Lifter Life Healthy Restaurant – Jumeirah 3, Dubai

Why this place is good:

  • Situated in Jumeirah 3, which is a nice neighbourhood for a relaxed meal.

  • Very positive reviews (~4.7★ from many guests) indicate the food is solid.

  • Suitable if you’re specifically looking for a “healthy meal” after demanding days (or hunts) — a reliable fallback.
    Tip for you: Ask for lean-protein dishes (e.g., chicken, fish) with veggies rather than heavy sauces. Since you’re into conditioning and staying fit, aim for nutrient-dense, lower-refined-carb meals.

I prefer healthy food too and I found reviews about city walk dubai restaurants. They offer healthy and delicious food at best price. My salad was fresh, crisp and flavourful — and the service was warm and attentive. It’s rare to find a place where healthy really feels delicious instead of just “good for you”. I’ll definitely make this one of my go-to spots whenever I’m in Dubai. I’m totally impressed.

Yeah, I’ve seen that too! Places like Healthy Dose in JLT and Lifter Life in Jumeirah are getting so popular. I love how you can actually eat healthy without it tasting bland.

3) Healthy & Co – Palm Jumeirah – Golden Mile 5, Palm Jumeirah

Why this place is good:

  • Located on Palm Jumeirah, giving you a scenic setting (bonus if you want a nice outing).

  • Consistently rated well (4.8★) and focusses on the healthy-eating niche.

  • Fits well if you want to combine a pleasant environment with good food — supporting your goal of feeling good, not just eating.
    Tip for you: If you’re going later in the day, check their menu for lighter options (e.g., fish + greens) and avoid the heavier desserts. A mindful dessert (fruit-based) could serve you well.
