Yet another takeaway amidst the streets of Wan Chai! Tallore focuses on healthier options like soups, salads and freshly made wraps. A good change from the Chinese and fatty Western options out there.
Perched on Amoy Street with the likes of the Rotisserie, bars and the popular Kamitora Ramen, this bright and welcoming space certainly doesn’t lack flavour or innovation! Perfect for a quiet night in, or a simple, healthy dinner. They also offer dairy free and vegan options!

Verdict:
A great option for a healthy takeaway or quick bite. Tallore makes great salads that are not your usual green leaf variety, but more deli style salads that are packed with texture, vegetables, rice and pasta. This keeps things interesting, especially for those who prefer more body to their salads, like me! Their soups are also very filling and full of flavour. Would definitely be back to try out their wraps!
Tallore also rolls out daily soup specials, so be sure to check them out!
