Lavender Garden
At the bottom of a long, steep stairway that (eventually) leads up into Yangming Mountain lies this excellent restaurant set inside a two-storey home that's surrounded by an aquatic garden. Amazing health-oriented Chinese dishes such as 'health tonic hotpot with ten Chinese herbs' will give you strength for the climb ahead. Then again, as Lavender Garden's deserts are delicious as well, you might want to save the meal as a reward for the climb down.

Bake House
Downstairs from The Pub (opposite), Bake House is versatility plus, with tasty baked goodies out the front and a more formal dining room concealed under the building’s whitewashed colonial arches. At the time of research, a makeover was being planned to up the ‘colonial’ spin of the architecture. Pop in just after 3pm, when the second bake of the day comes out and the short eats are still warm.

Imperial Herbal Restaurant
Located in new premises, it still retains the scorpions on the menu and the in-house Chinese physician who checks your pulse, examines your tongue and then prescribes something on the menu to rebalance your yin and yang. Boost your libido, lose the zits, or stop the grey-hair onslaught – something tasty will save the day!

Drink Drank
This is the sort of place you might just as easily find in New York or Melbourne. It serves a variety of fresh fruit drinks and light lunches including sandwiches and soup. If you want a break from Japanese food and feel like something light and casual, this might be the move.

Element Fresh
Hyper-health-conscious sandwiches, juices and smoothies nibbled and slurped by the laptop crowd at this neat outpost of the much-loved chain with the vibrant logo. Spoon up some homemade hummus or chill out with a cooling salad.

Juice Stands
This cluster of juice stands are a great refreshment stop. The banana or mango smoothies with cream and chopped almonds make a breakfast in themselves, while the sharp lemonade will cool you down on a scorching summer day.

La Terrasse
This simple semi-open-air place near the southern end of the promenade has a wide menu but is best known for good pizzas and safe salads, as opposed to their Indian food (which is frankly wanting). No alcohol is served.

Durbar Hotel & Juice Bar
For cheap clean eats and juices, try this place; the lunchtime side dish of spicy fish fillet goes well with a thali.

Sanctuary
Forget what you know about health food: the Sanctuary's restaurant proves that wholesome eats can also be delicious. Enjoy a tasty parade of plates – from Indian pakoras to crunchy Vietnamese spring rolls – as an endless playlist of music (undoubtedly the island's best) wafts overhead. Don't forget to wash it all down with a shot of neon-green wheatgrass. Yum!
