Let’s face it, on a busy day the last thing you want to think about is what to make for lunch or dinner, but it can be hard to find convenient takeaway options that are healthy and nutritious. Here are some quick and healthy fast food options in and around Subiaco that will have you satisfied and sticking to your goals. With plenty of options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets, as well as meat-based meals, these fast food joints have you covered.
Jus Burgers
Jus Burgers has been going strong for over a decade and it’s easy to see why: they serve up fresh, healthy burgers that taste as good as their less healthy counterparts. They are well-known for opting for rustic, charred Turkish buns rather than the sugary brioche style and have kept with this style since opening back in 2008, rather than chopping and changing to follow short-lived burger trends.
As they are small and family-owned, they are in the business of supporting local and show this by using only local suppliers for their meat, vegetables and other produce. In a win-win, this means they can always get their produce fresh, rather than having to ship over frozen produce if they were a franchise.
Jus Burgers has locations in Leederville and Subiaco and is open for dine-in and pick-up or delivery via their app (available on the App Store or Google Play) or website.

El Peruvian
For those keen to try something different, this Peruvian-inspired menu is packed with unique options for a quick and easy meal that will satisfy your body and your stomach. Avoiding the battered and fried options that often accompany taco fillings, El Peruvian has added a grilled fish taco to their menu with a mild or spicy finish. If you are seeking something light and packed with nutrients, grab one of their La Superfood Beetnamese Salads, delicately blending the flavours of Asia and South America.
Featuring both plant-based and meaty options across their menu, there is something for everyone. Plus, since the restaurant first came to life as a food truck and became so popular they had to expand to a restaurant, you know it’s good.
