Running a healthy-eating spot in Glasgow city centre taught us something fast: people don't just want 'healthy,' they want to know exactly what they're eating.

Every dish on our menu at 130 W Regent St is built around a calorie and protein target first, flavour second — but never sacrificing either. Our Lotus Protein Cookie Crumble Pancake Stack is the best example: high protein, portion-controlled, and still tastes like dessert.

A few things we've learned running a 'kcal-first' kitchen:

1. Transparency builds repeat customers. When people can see exactly what they're eating, they trust you more and come back more often.

2. Protein sells. Our highest-repeat dishes are always the highest-protein ones, not the lowest-calorie ones.

3. Community > one-off traffic. We just opened a VIP club with 10% off and early access to new drops because regulars are the backbone of a spot like ours — not walk-in tourists.

If you're in Glasgow and haven't tried us yet — come say hi. 0141 230 1033.
