Mercato Metropolitano | South
Elephant and Castle… home to gnarly boxing gym Rooney’s and the ultimate fitness party at Ministry Does Fitness.
If you find yourself wandering aimlessly looking for somewhere to re-fuel post workout (believe us, we’ve been there…) pay a visit to Mercato Metropolitano.
The urban farmers’ market offers a mix of Italian and London based artisan producers. If you’re laying off the focaccia, cheese and gnocchi fritters, here’s a round up of some healthier alternatives…
Tiny Leaf: London’s first organic, vegetarian, zero waste restaurant. Try the buckwheat pancakes or breakfast tacos & eggs with avocado and tomato salsa. If you’re swinging by for lunch, order the courgetti with almond pesto, basil and flaked almonds. Wash it down with a Tiny Leaf cocktail with organic gin, elderflower, apple, ginger and cucumber, an organic cider or glass of biodynamic wine. This vegan, gluten free spot is a foodie must for discerning Londoners!
