For Toby Scheckter, owner and brains behind Scheckter’s Raw, the eatery was created in the spirit of giving and sharing. Toby spent some time in New York and was inspired by the energy being put into the health food scene. Health food had always played a big role in his life, having grown up on an organic farm in the UK, and so, he decided to use his inspiration to return to South Africa and start Scheckter’s Raw.
Toby was frustrated by how limited the health food scene in South Africa was in comparison to what he experienced in New York. “I wanted a place to eat where the food was nutritionally uncompromised, looked as good as it tasted and bursting with original, fresh flavours.”
And so, Scheckter’s RAW Gourmet Health Food was born, a space where health conscious like-minded foodies could satisfy both their health and hunger by enjoying uncompromisingly honest, beautiful and innovative food.
The philosophy and vision behind Scheckter’s Raw is that the food we eat should be natural, authentic, plant-based, cruelty-free and nutrient dense food. Scheckter’s aims to inspire people to lead a happy and healthy life by choosing to eat food that nourishes and sustains.
Scheckter’s serves a selection of smoothie bowls, breakfasts, burgers, wraps and delicious organic treats for those with a sweet tooth. The RAW burger is a must-try for any vegan burger loving foodies. Delicious and stacked with nutrients, this signature burger is 100% plant based, high protein, soy and gluten free, topped with caramelised onions, vegan cheese, greens, tomato, basil aioli, mustard and served on their homemade dragon buns.
Scheckter’s also offers a variety of frozen meals which can be purchased through their online store, as well a three day juice cleanse. It’s never too late to initiate your healthy lifestyle, and Scheckter’s Raw is the perfect place to get started.
You can find Scheckter’s Raw on 98 Regent Rd, Sea Point. Check out their full menu here.
