Don't let the exterior look of this restaurant hold you back!! Came in for the first time after seeing it on Yelp and was a must try because of the healthy menu!!! We ordered the warm salad and added the salmon which was, "THE BOMB"!!! Literally!! When you eat it, you can feel and taste it was made healthy. I was first skeptic about how it would taste because it's just salad and salmon, but I was wrong!! I'm glad I ordered because it definitely will keep me coming back for more to try on their menus. Once we were done, we decided to make a order of their baked sweet potatoes fries!! Look no further! This is THE ONE!! Perfection!! All you can taste is the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and I could taste no salt whatsoever. After eating all the food, I felt full, not heavy or overly stuffed!! I even feel good after eating!! Coming back for more!! Very good customer service too!!
I came here the first time with my colleague Robin from Gym Guyz. She introduced me to this place & I must thank her. The food is always fresh & delicious; the atmosphere is very pleasant & the owners also very nice & they've got very nice music playing too. Even though it's a bit out of the way for me, it's worth it. The 1st time I had an avocado/skim milk smoothie- it was delicious, healthy & filling. Today I ate the "warm salad", which was also delicious, with an interesting combination of ingredients & flavors. I also took out 2 salmon "tacos" which my husband & I ate for dinner & they were very tasty too. More people need to know about this place, hence one of the reasons for my Yelp review. Kudos to the owners, Leo & Rafaela. A MUST TRY when in Bay Ridge
This place is small but the waiter is really informative and nice. They offer to make you any drink you want even if it's not on the menu. For anyone who don't know what is the Fredoccino, it's just a frappuccino (they just can't call it that). The latte tasted alright and nothing special. As for the food, the French toast tasted mediocre and cost a few more dollars for the extra strawberries. The gourmet fit flatbread tasted the best out of everything. The avocado was fresh and delicious. Even though the grilled chicken was a bit dry, it was still good. My friend didn't like the Bruschetta Duo at all. It looked so much better on the picture on yelp. The veggie lasagna didn't look appealing either. Overall, this isn't a place I would come back again.
This healthy eatery boasts the freshest, most organic dishes available in a casual sit down setting. Many have made such proclamations before in Bay Ridge and fall short. Do they live up to this claim? In a word, YES. This is why they've earned 4.8/5.0
Opened in May earlier this year, organic, free-range, grass-fed beef, and healthy are not vocabulary words known best in Bay Ridge, especially along red sauce heavy Third Ave, known to many as Restaurant Row. 3rd Ave has grown in diversity, but slowly over the years. They sponsor a few known bodybuilders and the Miss Brazil USA (2015).
Owners Rafaela and Chef Leonardo expanded into this location initially for their burgeoning prepared-meals business. What many do not know is that they also have a very capable coffee bar alongside their offerings of healthy entrées and smoothies.
I stopped in a couple times, first to try the salmon burger and another time to try the churrasco plates. Both were excellent by any standard. The salmon burger was juicy and flavorful as can be expected of this hearty fish.
The burger stayed intact the whole time and that in itself is remarkable for something as delicate as fish. The churrasco plate, of course it's simply skirt steak accompanied by asparagus spears and mashed potatoes. I opted for sweet potato fries in both instances. I will say that I believe the fries were baked instead of fried, which may be the only letdown but a welcome one since I had planned to eat healthy when coming here. Which is not to say that you can't indulge yourself. They just added dessert amongst their expanded menu. One thing that ought to be mentioned is that for all that is healthy and organic, this comes at a price premium, but one thing's for sure is that you certainly get what you've paid for- quality.
All in all, a nice well-lit, friendly environment that I find myself coming back to again and again. Be sure to give this a go and see if their prepared meals fit your lifestyle. 4.8/5.0
I ordered a veggie lasagna and Brazil smoothie, both tasted wonderful! So glad I ordered it delivery because I straight up inhaled the veggie lasagna like crazy lol. It's funny because I was craving Ethiopian veggie dishes sooo bad but being in Bay Ridge, I would have to make my way to Fort Greene. Not usually a problem unless you have a little one that needs to be in bed by a certain time.
I ordered via Yelp which made me nervous because I wanted to make sure they received my order. Most times I would just call the business directly, but my phone is broken and I'm waiting on the replacement so no phone calls until it arrives. My only issue was the chat agent I interacted with via Eat24. There was a confirmation email I received, so I clicked on the link to check status. I was going to ask the agent if there was any chance the delivery person would try to call me to just buzz in instead. The agent insisted my card declined when I checked my bank account and could see that the money was already taken out of my available balance. After a lot of back and forth, she finally realized that they received payment. I felt turned off from ordering via Eat24 but it was no reflection upon Gourmet Fit at all. I felt like businesses should follow-up with Eat24 to ensure they are treating their customers properly because I know it could affect the customer experience for new first-time customers and could have an impact on their business. However, I'd like to reiterate that I did not let it affect my view of Gourmet Fit, but I could be the exception.
The delivery guy arrived with my order quicker than I expected, which made me happy. Everything was wrapped up pretty well to prevent spills, which I appreciate. The veggie lasagna tasted great, I just wish the portion size would have been bigger. And I would have liked a fruitier, tad bit sweeter flavor for the Brazil smoothie. In all honesty, I was craving a milkshake but when my 5 yr. old told me it tasted me like milk and wouldn't drink any more..I figured I might try to add bananas, pineapple or maybe apple–just something else to it to sweeten it up. Maybe I would have been better off with another flavor, but I'm not a big fan of chocolate.
Either way, I am definitely willing to try some of their smoothies, juices and desserts in the future.
Atmosphere: large space with open-air seating. The counter person wasn't the most welcoming, but she gave a recommendation when asked. She was also happy to sub out ingredients.
Food: at least there's one healthy place in bay ridge, even if it's all the way north. If you want a healthy dessert, try the avocado chocolate mousse, which is think, creamy, and dark chocolatey.

I came here last night for dinner with my boyfriend and the food tasted delicious! This place is a bit small but it's super clean and neat. Parking here is really difficult to find so I urge you to take the train or bus. There's nearly every bus stop on every corner in this area. You won't miss this spot I'm telling you.
For starters, I got the hulk smoothie and ordered the salmon burger served with sweet potato fries. My boyfriend, on the other hand, got the churrasco which was lean Angus beef served with asparagus and mashed potatoes.
I must say both dishes were well balanced and it tasted absolutely scrumptious. I can tell they use top quality ingredients. And I have to say my burger was huge! I ate half way through and I couldn't finish it. My boyfriend finished the job for me. Kudos to him!
All in all this place was outstanding! I will be back when I have energy to devour the whole salmon burger by myself.
