Dragon-i

Eating healthy food doesn’t have to mean eating dull food.

Wake up your taste buds and be kind to yourself with today’s Big Deal on a two course meal for two from the new Clean Eating menu at Dragon-i.

Based on Hope Street, opposite the Theatre Royal in the city centre, Dragon-i is a family-run Chinese restaurant.

Although that label doesn’t really do it justice.

The menu flies from Sichuan to Singapore and takes in most points in between.

Designed to be nutritionally balanced as well as a tasting great, the Clean Eating menu allows you to eat well without the guilt.
