Eating healthy food doesn’t just mean stocking up on microherbs and quinoa. It’s more about choosing authentic ingredients and dishes which put quality above all else. WORDS | Dianne Bortoletto

SUBIACO: EAT SHOP LIVE
STICKING TO A healthy eating regime can be tricky, but eating well in Subiaco doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice eating out or eating delicious food. Take Layers Bakery at Subiaco Square as an example. Their buttery flaky croissants might not fall into the low-cal bracket, but you can rest assured that all they serve in the French bakery is made from scratch, using quality ingredients and traditional methods. Perhaps walk past the tempting pastries and opt for a baguette filled with omega-oil rich smoked trout, a homemade pie filled with slow cooked beef cheek, or go for a healthy tick of approval with a delicious salad. At the other end of Subiaco on Rokeby Road is Sorganic, an artisan bakery that uses only organic
ingredients, including flour and filtered water, and a sourdough starter that’s 30-years old to naturally ferment dough for 72 hours for their sourdough bread. My tip is to take a seat inside or street side and let Sorganic do the cooking for you – think ricotta hot cakes, protein fix bowl, pumpkin smash, pulled pork manwich, avocado bruschetta, chicken and cauliflower salad, smoothies and more, all available for breakfast or lunch. For those who adhere to glutenfree foods, it’s quite easy to eat well with most places offering GF options. That said, finding good gluten-free bread can be a challenge, but not if you visit Strange Grains in Shenton Park. Not only are their breads, cookies and sweets all free from gluten, they bake yeast-free breads
