19 to try: eat out on a diet

Rivington Grill: With a reputation for hearty British fare, Rivington Grill might not be the first place you’d think to head for a diet-friendly meal. However, those in the know recommend ordering the scallops with winter cauliflower and sauce Jacqueline. The scallops are high in protein and, providing you steer clear of the bread basket, are a winner for anyone who’s calorie counting. Note that though the dish is a starter, it can be prepared as a main on request (Dhs85).
