    10 Best Healthy Restaurants in Baltimore - Kush2) Land of Kush. 840 N. Eutaw Street.


    Who says soul food can’t be healthy? Just head to Land of Kush, and you’ll find that is certainly not the case. This modest little spot tucked into a brick building along Eutaw street was the brainchild of three friends — one a savvy businessman raised in the Bronx, one an unexpected chef and one a real estate guru — who dreamed of creating a place that people could mow down on classic comfort food that was healthy and vegan. You’ll find options like eggplant parmesan, lentil burgers, “chickun” salad and much, much more.

    10 Best Healthy Restaurants in Baltimore - Bar Vasquez5) Bar Vasquez (formerly Pazo). 1425 Aliceanna Street


    Can Spanish food really be healthy? Pazo, which serves up Argentine cuisine, is as close as it gets. Rice dishes there are baked, not sauteed in butter, which keeps the calorie counts down. And, even more importantly, the dishes taste good, too. That’s because Chef Mario Cano Catalán is all about using seasonal ingredients and holding to the pillars of Argentine food — cooking, meat, fire and vegetables.
