Is This The Future Of McDonalds?

'The Corner' in Sydney is McDonalds' experiment with a 'healthy version' of their franchise. A place that doesn't look like a regular McDonalds and caters to the healthier minded

The subtle exterior is enough to fool anyone. Even once you walk in, it's completely unobvious that you're effectively walking into a version of McDonalds.

The food is another reason you may not believe it. There are refrigerators filled with delicious looking fruit salads, yoghurts with fresh fruit compote, pre-made wraps and sandwiches and deluxe desserts (smashed cookies and white chocolate mousse, anyone?)

At the counter you can choose from pastries, muffins, brownies and so much more.

The most popular items on the menu were the bacon and egg roll, chorizo and egg roll, and the toasties. They do any combination of ham, cheese and tomato, as well as a four cheese toastie that's exceptionally popular.

The drinks as a particular highlight. The café does awesome milkshakes (vanilla bean, double choc and salted caramel) and incredible smoothies (hello, The Corner Brekkie, Bountiful Choc Coconut and Mixed Berry & Banana - just to name a few!)

For lunch, the café has a 'Protein Station' where you're able to choose your protein and match them with any of the four salads (of 12) on rotation that day. They offer things like BBQ lamb, and pulled pork with quinoa! It all just looks stupidly fresh and delicious.

No plans have been released to open a 'The Corner' in New Zealand yet. If this is the future of fast food then we are all for it!
