Healthy Restaurants in Hartford

We track four restaurants with a Hartford listing: Bear's Smokehouse BBQ, Cava, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Tisane Euro-Asian Cafe. Menu data is only on file for two of them, Cava and Chipotle Mexican Grill; Bear's Smokehouse BBQ and Tisane Euro-Asian Cafe are listed without a filled-in menu yet.

The highest-protein item in our Hartford data is Chipotle's Double Chicken Bowl, at 640 calories for 68 grams of protein — 22 grams more than Cava's Grilled Chicken with Black Lentils (520 calories, 46 grams), for 120 more calories. Within Cava's own menu, the Spicy Lamb Meatballs with Black Lentils and the Braised Lamb with Black Lentils both list 42 grams of protein, but the meatballs come in at 620 calories against 440 for the braised lamb — 180 more calories for the identical protein count. Cava's Grilled Steak with Black Lentils is close to the braised lamb, at 420 calories for 41 grams of protein.

When two plates from the same restaurant are this close in protein, calories are usually the better tiebreaker — pick the lower-calorie option if the protein gap is only a gram or two.
