Restaurants catering to healthy eating choices and balanced or even “extreme healthy” diets will continue to succeed in 2015 as well-being as a trend is here to stay, according to Nicola Knight, director of services at Horizons.
Speaking at the 2014 Arena Christmas event Knight said restaurants serving raw or Palaeolithic diets will be see a rise in popularity next year as well as what she called authentic ethnic restaurants that offer naturally healthy ways of eating.
In her predictions to the coming year, Knight said greater choice for vegetarians and gluten- or dairy-free diets that are offered through ethnic cuisines that have not been adapted for western palates are expected to become more mainstream as demand rises.
Concurrently to consumer demand for healthier choices rising there is expected to be more regulation and legislation from the government relating to reductions in salt on menus and greater awareness of nutrition as calorie labelling becomes commonplace.
