Their ingredients are locally sourced and carefully crafted. In fact, they will help you pick out an option and fully accommodate your needs. My favorite thing about Root’s is that you can tailor pretty much any dish depending on your dietary restrictions and they don’t give you attitude about it (we’ve all been there). I was so bummed at first but after trying out the new tenant, I forgot all about them. I discovered Root’s Cafe after my former favorite quaint cafe, Cluck ‘N Cup closed (R.I.P.). Your non-Paleo, gluten-loving friends will also love you for the recommendation. Poached chicken, a massive, fluffy egg white omelet topped with avocado, tomatoes and the most delicious salsa verde. The Came Together is a Paleo’ers dream and you don’t have to be that person who adds and gets rid of certain ingredients. I wouldn’t survive if they didn’t have such great go-to’s for my paleo diet. LINCOLN’S HABERDASHERYĮveryone knows the SweatNET team (Grace, Tom and myself) lives at Lincoln’s. They’re located in Atherton Mills off of South Blvd. They even have paleo desserts! Fun fact: they make all of their nut-milks and raw treats. My favorites include the Living Burrito, Arugula Harvest Salad, Broccoli Mushroom Pizza and the Rawko Taco Salad. Luckily, they just updated their menu so I get to start all over! I have so many paleo favorites and because they are a “raw” restaurant, it’s so simple to find something to eat here for any meal. I think I have ordered just about every single thing on the menu at Living Kitchen (formerly Luna’s Living Kitchen). Zen is quietly tucked away behind Menchie’s on East Blvd in Dilworth.

I personally love to order the steamers for take-out and come home to pour coconut aminos all over (salivating right now). The steamers come with a side of rice so my fiancé loves that he gets my side of rice. The best part? The chicken and shrimp steamers come in a giant hot pot with steamed veggies so it’s more than enough food. My favorite order is the chicken and beef steamers (not on the menu, but do it – they’ll know what you’re talking about). I wasn’t too worried because they have such a huge variety of options to choose from. I’ve been going to Zen for YEARS, even before I went the Paleo route.

Or go for a quarter, half or full chicken with a side of plantains and fruit! Full menu here. Get the Viva Salad with no feta, dressing on the side, add double chicken. Viva has the BEST rotisserie chicken in town, mark my words…it basically melts in your mouth. Mac’s is located right on South Blvd, you can’t miss it.

You can’t go wrong with the roasted Brussels Sprouts either! And definitely don’t miss out on the lemon tahini. You can build your own salad bowl and go crazy with all the pickled things like myself or just go for a quarter, half or full chicken with a side. There are so many options at Yafo for a good paleo meal. I’ve recently reintroduced some grains back into my diet but when I’m heading out for a meal, I still love to stick to the restaurants and options below (in no specific order)! YAFO KITCHEN

Going out to eat no longer felt like a chore for me but a new way to discover Paleo options.įor those who have no idea what I’m talking about, below are a few things to avoid when eating a paleo diet: I thought it would be difficult, but I found so many great options all around Charlotte. I decided to go the Paleo route and was strict paleo for the past year and a half. I decided I wanted to stick to a similar diet but have a little more wiggle room and freedom, especially when it came to going out to eat. A year ago, I did my first round of Whole30 and absolutely loved how I felt after the 30 days were up.
