Nourish Yourself with a Healthy Brunch
Alina's Cafe is a cozy neighborhood diner that happens to have some of the tastiest healthy options.
Located in the heart of the walkable Des Moines Marina District, this locally owned restaurant is the perfect spot to stop for a healthy, hearty meal after getting some exercise in the area. Walk, jog, or bike along the Des Moines Creek Trail (you could even join a Saturday morning run club), take a yoga class with Waterland Yoga, or stroll along the waterfront at the Des Moines Marina. When it's time to fuel up, we highly recommend the Green Goddess Quinoa Bowl, which is like a nutrient bomb overflowing with sautéed vegetables, avocado, and whipped feta cheese. Other tasty options include avocado toast on thick, house-made bread, maple pecan granola, and a salmon Cobb salad. Your body will thank you!
