Quick, Healthy Lunches in London Made for Busy Workdays
January tends to come with good intentions. Eating a bit lighter. Choosing plant-forward dishes. Finding lunches that leave you feeling energised rather than sluggish, without sacrificing flavour or your entire lunch hour.
At Lantana, this is how we cook all year round.
If you’re looking for a quick, healthy lunch in London that fits neatly into a working day, our menus are built exactly for that. Fresh, from scratch, and ready when you are.
Why January Lunches Are Going Plant-Forward
Across London, January has become less about restriction and more about balance. People are leaning into:
- plant-based and vegetable-led dishes
- lighter, nourishing lunches that don’t slow the afternoon down
- food that feels good and tastes good
Our kitchens have always taken that approach, using seasonal vegetables, grains, and bold flavours to create dishes that are naturally satisfying, whether you eat plant-based every day or just a few lunches a week.
Quick Lunches That Don’t Feel Rushed
When time is tight, lunch needs to work around your schedule.
Our nourish bowls and poke bowls are some of the quickest dishes on the menu. Designed to be ordered easily, prepared efficiently, and enjoyed comfortably within a lunch hour.
They’re balanced, flavour-led, and built to keep you moving through the rest of your day.
