With the world's focus on creating sustainable methods of consumption and healthy eating, Lexi's Healthy Eatery is the poster-child restaurant of the diets we should all strive to adopt. This invigorating dining spot can be found in the quaint town of Modderfontein and ticks all the boxes.
The beginning of Lexi's Healthy Eatery's reign
Lexi's Healthy Eatery was started by Lexi Monzeglio and co-owner Ezio Nichele. Lexi is the chef behind the kitchen's fantastic meals and admits that it comes as a surprise to her that this is what she's pursuing after studying graphic design and advertising at the University of Johannesburg. After starting a successful food blog and learning to cook for herself, styling food photography, creating recipes and more Lexi stepped into her full potential.
With the cautious trial and error of offering her food at pop-up restaurants, catering events and food stalls, she decided that her very own spot was imperative. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from the public the restaurant was received with welcome arms upon opening. Five locations later (one in Cape Town and four in Gauteng) Lexi's Healthy Eatery is poised to take the South African restaurant scene in a refreshed direction.
The global shift towards healthier choices
Health-conscious individuals are aware of the impact food has on our bodies and the environment as a whole. By not separating the two, the goal is to establish a connection between eating well and sustainable produce development. Health concerns combined with climate change are contributing factors toward people choosing to drastically alter their eating habits. That's where Lexi's Healthy Eatery comes in.
This establishment believes that healthy eating should be accessible to everyone in every community. As a source of knowledge and sustenance, Lexi's Healthy Eatery is providing a much-needed service to its customers. The menu is mostly vegan and promotes whole foods. Their philosophy when it comes to their contribution toward improving the planet promises; bio-degradable packaging, sourcing products from suppliers who don't waste plastic, using earth-friendly and chemical-free cleaning supplies, employing a zero waste policy on ingredients in the kitchen and supporting small local businesses over major corporations.
By adopting these minimal, yet significant strategies Lexi's Healthy Eatery is able to greatly reduce its carbon footprint while elevating the standard of the food. From sourcing, to prep and execution every meal feels like love on a plate.

Picture sipping on flavours like salted caramel, golden mylk, berry bomb, peanut butter punch and more. The classics like chai and matcha are readily available and are all infused with the highest quality ingredients.
