South Yarra's new healthy eatery has got us smäking our lips. Now open for just a few weeks on Daly Street near the Corner of Chapel Street and Toorak Road, Scandinavian-inspired SMÄK Food House is serving up simple, healthy food for breakfast, lunch and (in the very near future) dinner.

Standouts on the breakfast menu include mixed nut granola with berries, apple, cashew yoghurt and manuka honey; silverbeet and leek fitters with poached egg, smoked miso salmon and chargrilled corn and quinoa salsa; and turkey chipolatas served with poached eggs, free range bacon, swiss brown mushrooms, truss tomato, kale and rye bread, and sweet potato rosti.

The lunch and dinner options are similarly eclectic. You can opt for a salad, such as a spiced cauliflower, farro, celery, spinach, walnut and cranberry number, or one made with orange poached beetroot, thyme carrots, tomato, corn, lima beans and pepitas. Alternatively, your protein options include 12 hour juniper berry braised lamb with red cabbage and pickled beetroot, and poached tarragon chicken with an almond thyme crust and garlic.

Rounding things out are a number of extravagant beverages, including spinach, celery, cucumber and parsley juice, and a banana and zucchini smoothie made with chia, spirulina, coconut milk, strawberries, granola and dates.

SMÄK is located at 6C Daly Place, South Yarra. They are currently open 7am to 3.30pm seven days a week, but will extend their operating hours to 10pm starting in June. For more information visit smakfoodhouse.com.
