Healthy Catering St George, UT; Twisted Noodle Cafe a healthy restaurant in St George

It seems almost every restaurant has a 'healthy' option nowadays. Even multi-national corporations like McDonald's have been hastily trying to re-brand themselves to jump on the healthy living bandwagon. Most of the nutritional information they provide reveals upon closer scrutiny that the healthy dish or meal being touted is, in fact, a very stripped-down, often flavorless and usually uninspiring version of something that is already on their menu. For taste, their healthy menus are left floundering.

And that is precisely where Twisted Noodle Cafe stands in a league of its own.

This self-described 'fast casual restaurant with fast casual prices' takes great pride in the fact that its entire philosophy, indeed the establishment itself, is built around the concept of providing healthy, affordable food to the people of St. George, UT.

It is under his guidance that the Twisted Noodle Cafe currently sits at number 6 in all of St. George in the list of best restaurants compiled by Trip Advisor. The major factor besides the quality of the food is how healthy it is.
