The eating-out edit

UK restaurant options under 600 calories.

Choosing a restaurant order starts with what you fancy. Compare grilled and beef burgers with a bowl of ramen, then look at smaller and sharing dishes separately. The figure on the menu is only the starting point for your full order.

A little more choice for your main

This guide brings together selected portions with 600 calories or fewer. The threshold includes exactly 600 calories. Some are individual mains; others are starters or dishes that might form part of a shared order.

The main-course examples here sit between 500 and 600 calories in our source records. That gives you a different set of options from the under-500 guide, while keeping sides, sauces and drinks visible as separate decisions.

The shortlist

Five portions to compare

Honest Burgers

For another grilled option: Pesto

The grilled Pesto burger is an alternative to compare at Honest Burgers. It has a different calorie and macro profile from the BBQ Chicken, so choosing between them is about the whole order as well as the protein figure.

For a beef burger: the Original

The Original beef burger gives you a different main to compare with the grilled chicken options at Honest Burgers. The recorded calories cover the burger alone, so make the same assumptions about sides and drinks for each comparison.

Before you order

Build the whole order

Add sides, sauces, extra toppings and drinks to the listed main. A burger-only figure does not describe a burger-and-chips order.

Give starters and sharing dishes their own comparison

A starter is a smaller course. For a shared dish, the published figure may cover the whole dish, so check the serving basis and how much you expect to eat.

Leave room for changes

Recipes and portions can change between menu updates. Check the restaurant’s current information, and ask about ingredients or allergens when ordering.

Sources & how we chose these dishes

Selections were reviewed against Menuu’s dated source records on 18 September 2026. Each listed portion contains 600 calories or fewer in the source record. Mains, smaller dishes and sharing portions are labelled separately. This is a small editorial selection, not a ranking of every UK restaurant or a live menu check.

Check the restaurant’s current menu for recipe, portion and availability changes. Published nutrition does not establish allergy suitability; confirm ingredients and cross-contact with staff.
