As we all loosen our belts and face the traditional post-Christmas turkey hangover, we here at Hot Dinners are looking to the future - and a healthier, leaner January. To lend a helping hand, we've rounded up a few of the restaurants offering healthier fare this January to kickstart those detox resolutions.

Virtuous Veggies

Saf - Curtain Road, EC2 and Barker's Building, W8

Featuring organic, vegan and raw food dishes and a menu that specialises in food cooked below 48oC, expect the Shoreditch and Kensington branches of SAF restaurants to be heaving with Christmas overeaters searching for atonement in January.

SAF offers several detox-specific dishes, such as salads with cucumber, arame kelp, wakame seaweed and sprouted mung bean. We're naturally drawn towards some of the more conventional dishes on offer - such as a delicious sounding thai red curry featuring butternut squash and other vegetables in a spiced coconut sauce with black rice, and a downright sinful fettucine with truffle cream.

Malaysian Minus the Guilt

Awana - Chelsea, SW3

This spot on Sloane Avenue not only features the traditionally hearty yet healthy Malaysian curries and stir-fries (just stay away from the red meat!), but in previous years has offered special detox menu - with a complementary massage.

Try the mung bean soup dessert and monkfish curry - almost enough to make detox a delight.

Slimline starspotting

Scott's - Mount St, W1

If all this talk about calorie control and raw food has you reaching for the bottle, make it a glass of brut champagne at Scott's. The menu there's practically devised for celebrities, who hate to put on more than an ounce of weight, so feast on the oysters, followed by grilled dover sole (hold the butter) and if you've been good all week, one of their delicious fruit sorbets for desert.

Calorie Control

Cassis - Brompton Road, SW3

Cassis Bistro in Knightsbridge is jumping firmly on the detox bandwagon with a light menu, designed by the leading personal trainer, Matt Roberts, and head chef of Cassis, David Escobar. The menu is calorie controlled - each main course is less than 400 calories and a two course combination never exceeds 650 calories (excluding drinks). Each dish has been carefully devised to ensure bad fats have been kept to an absolute minimum - expect a wealth of steamed fish and other healthy oils.

Slimline shellfish

Wright Bros - 13 Kingly Street, W1 and 11 Stoney Street, SE1

If you're looking for a high-protein and low-fat shot of flavour, there's no better way than to head to the seafood bar - and London is still flush in the middle of oyster season. For a favourite that proved itself with new ground in 2011, the Wright Brothers offer some of the freshest oysters in town. A new Soho restaurant extended the empire last year, while their original Borough Market location continues to satisfy seafood fans. The Wright Brothers' oysters come straight from their own Duchy Oyster Farm on the Helford River in Cornwall, the British Isles or France and feature chefs formerly of Racine and Galvin Bistro de Luxe.

And a few extras to add to your January to-do list

Indali lounge

Billed as 'the healthiest curry house in the world' upon opening, the Indali Lounge is a butter and cream free establishment and features naans and chapatis which are free from bleached starch.

Texture

Full of influences from chef Agnar Sverrisson’s native Iceland, this restaurants uses no butter or cream in any savoury dish and restricts sugar use - even in desserts, focusing instead on Icelandic herbs in many dishes which are thought to have healthy properties – angelica, birch and Icelandic moss to name a few.

Gelupo

Favourite Soho gelateria, Gelupo, is offering a two-pronged attack for festive overindulgence with a detox and zen Green Tea with Buddhas Hand Citrus gelato.  Made with green tea, widely known for its detoxifying qualities, and Buddhas Hand Citrus, it's a simple shortcut to detox.

Cinnamon Club

Running from 9th to 31st January, Rakesh Nair's modern curry house is offering a ‘Spice-Detox Menu’, incorporating ingredients such as fenugreek – known to reduce blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, saffron – which has anti-carcinogenic properties and has been claimed to increase libido, and lemon grass – an effective cure for coughs and colds.

Bluebird

Run along to D&D's Bluebird restaurant on 31 January 2012 at any time from 7pm when they'll be holding a pop up yoga class, followed by wellbeing cocktails and canapés and express treatments including mini massages.
