Health Food Restaurants near New Canaan, CT

“Barvida is a great spot for high-quality, healthy shakes. You can really taste the freshness in every drink, and it’s clear they use quality ingredients. The shakes are well-balanced, filling, and don’t feel overly sweet or artificial like a lot of places.

If you’re looking for a healthy option that still tastes amazing, Barvida is definitely worth checking out. Consistent quality, great flavors, and a place you can feel good about going back to.“

“My family and I were visiting family in Norwalk and were referred to Greens on the Go in New Canaan. We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious. I personally enjoyed the Spring Bowl with Tofu, which was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I also tried the Pitaya Island and it was an absolute must-try – such a delightful treat! The owner, Alyssa, is very friendly and was an absolute pleasure to meet. Her warm hospitality made our visit even more special. If you're in the area, Greens on the Go is definitely worth a visit. We will be back for sure!“

“Love this place. Great value and portion size. Best compared to other salad places in town (ahem… down the street). Staff are friendly and fast. Food is fresh and love the seasonal variations. Highly recommend, hands down best salad places in town so hit it up!“

“We waited with anticipation when Barvida opened in Darien, about a block from our office, and then found that they're friendly, vegan, and fair-minded. Their lunch time food is a favorite.“

“I love Greens on the Go. Fresh food, friendly staff who you can tell put TLC into their dishes and lovely space to eat inside or on their back porch. Give this awesome small business some love if you're in the area - you won't be disappointed!“

“Great little sandwich counter. Was looking for a quick sandwich stopped and got an amazing Chicken Salad with Tomato, Lettuce, Cheese and Olives. All fresh. The chicken salad had some amazing flavor. Perfect amount of mayonnaise. Staff was very friendly and had a homestyle kitchen vibe.“

“I am publicly confessing that I am addicted to Field Trip’s Crispy Cuts Pork Rinds, and have no desire for an intervention. As far as I’m concerned, this is a guilt-free snack! I lean toward spicy Sweet Chipotle, but would definitely not turn my back on Island Barbecue. We all owe ourselves a treat now and then. When you are ready, get a bag of Crispy Cuts Pork Rinds. You’ll thank me, and I can certainly use the good vibes. I give these crispy treats ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of five.“

“Been coming here for 40 years. Delicious lunches and dinners that are ample. Great variety of items on menu feature salads with protein additions, soups, yummy desserts; dinner entrees well worth the prices. Consistently great quality and service. Atmosphere is intimate, with tightly arranged tables, with a few outside on sidewalk. Only downside (which has no room for improvement) is the cramped entryway and bathroom that is holdover from an era when ADA accessibility was not a consideration. The restaurant is historic in that regard, with painted tin ceilings; was one of the first “healthier food” restaurants. It keeps that standing even in Norwalk’s hot restaurant scene. Love The Lime.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Expensive but worth it to me. This place is nice enough that they can ditch the cashier and have some waiters and it would pass as an awesome date night restaurant. Can’t afford to come here regularly but I look forward to coming back.“

“My kids and I love Playa!!! We always get the Nutella bowl- sometimes with extra granola. Yum! It’s just a tad pricey!

Vegetarian options: Fruits a plenty

Parking: Big parking lot in back. Some spots in front on street.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it! Lots of options.“

“I am a regular customer at this Sweetgreen, and I can honestly say the experience is consistently excellent.
​The food is always fresh, but the team here is what keeps me coming back. A special shoutout to Savannah—she is consistently polite, helpful, and incredibly nice. She genuinely cares about the customers and makes every visit a pleasant one.
​The entire staff is wonderful, professional, and efficient even when it's busy. It’s easily my favorite spot for a healthy meal.
Highly recommend!“
