Try a Healthy Vegetarian Diet in 2015

Changing your diet can have a very positive effect on your health, appearance and your mood. A vegetarian diet could help you to lose weight because the typical vegetarian diet tends to be lower in fat, with the majority of saturated-fats (which help pile on the pounds), coming from animal products.

You don't need to go full-on vegetarian to gain the health benefits however, just cutting down the amount of meat you consume and having a few vegetarian days a week is a great start. And we know the perfect place for you to try out a delicious and filling vegetarian meal - The Green Almond! 

The Green Almond is a vegetarian bistro in Eastbourne which opened in August 2014 and has since been a popular choice for both vegetarians and meat-eaters looking for a delicious lunch! Five days a week - Tuesday-Saturday - the bistro serves up a feast of a buffet, and all dishes are completely vegetarian and some are vegan and gluten-free too! 

The buffet offers delights aplenty, with a range of salads, soups, breads and hot veggie dishes, with most ingredients being sourced and produced locally, making this place extra green and friendly. At lunchtime you'll find dishes such as; Wheat Berry and Mushroom Salad, Griddled Mediterranean Vegetarian Salad, Homemade Humous and Pea and Mint soup. Whilst on a Friday and Saturday evening you'll find a unique set menu of three courses of delicious vegetarian food - for the purse-friendly price of £20 per person. 

Both the evening set-menu and the lunchtime buffet are constantly changing, as the chef and part-owner, chooses unique dishes to make each day, according to which of the best fresh ingredients are available locally.

This is a truly delightful restaurant, which is like no other in Eastbourne! A great atmosphere, warm ambiance and most importantly vegetarian food which will help keep your body lean and healthy and your appetite happy! 

The Green Almond is located on Compton Street, behind the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne and is open Tuesday-Saturday.
