The Lime Restaurant

Hidden gem. I commute to Norwalk for work and was genuinely excited to finally find a healthy spot that is not part of a big chain. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and everything we ordered delivered. The butternut squash soup was perfect for a rainy day, warm and comforting with an amazing aroma. The Cajun chicken sausage wrap is officially my new go-to, packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. Highly recommend, especially for fellow out-of-towners looking for something fresh and local.

A wonderful find with healthy options (including vegan dishes). It's everything a family-owned restaurant should be: cosy, friendly and attentive service, and plenty of options at a variety of price points! The homemade white bean soup was perfect, the burger beef of good quality and the cubed turkey with cheese over salad fresh and tasty. The key lime pie was spot on and the vegan whipped cream delicious. It's only 7 minutes off the Merritt Parkway so a perfect place to stop if you just can't stomach any more rest-stop fast food!

Super delicious food and a great selection of healthy, innovative eats! Lots of gluten and dairy free options on the menu too! I had a chipotle bean burger over a salad with tahini dressing and their super yummy brown rice salad. My boyfriend had their chicken salad “roll” with honey Dijon. I will definitely go back try try some other amazing looking menu items they have. The staff is extremely nice as well!

Been coming here for 40 years. Delicious lunches and dinners that are ample. Great variety of items on menu feature salads with protein additions, soups, yummy desserts; dinner entrees well worth the prices. Consistently great quality and service. Atmosphere is intimate, with tightly arranged tables, with a few outside on sidewalk. Only downside (which has no room for improvement) is the cramped entryway and bathroom that is holdover from an era when ADA accessibility was not a consideration. The restaurant is historic in that regard, with painted tin ceilings; was one of the first “healthier food” restaurants. It keeps that standing even in Norwalk’s hot restaurant scene. Love The Lime.

Tasty and delicious vegetarian options. Currently obsessed with the falafel roll up. The blackened chicken roll up is one of my favorites. They have daily specials that are amazing. 10/10 never disappoints
