Top 5 Sustainable Restaurants in London

Top 5 Sustainable Restaurants in London

1. EDIT

EDIT, founded by former architect Elly Wards, stands dedicated to sustainability through its commitment to reducing waste and making seasonally sourced, plant-based meals. The entire restaurant, from its furniture to its menu, is designed with an emphasis on minimal waste. Their menu is inspired by contemporary British plant-based cuisine and changes daily.

2. Dinings

Dinings, a Japanese restaurant located in Chelsea, is dedicated to responsible sourcing. They exclusively source their seafood from Cornish day boats and ethical producers across Europe and Japan. A great example of this is the hand-diving of scallops by local divers in Devon. The scallops arrive at Dinings within 8 hours of being caught, minimising the environmental impact. In terms of their menu, they’re famous for their sushi, so make sure to try it.

3. Jikoni

Jikoni, which you can find in Marylebone, was the first independent restaurant to be carbon neutral in 2021. Because of their commitment to sustainability, they also require their suppliers to be ethical and sustainable. Their menu primarily focuses on classic British cuisine mixed with exotic spices, offering amazing dishes, such as Crispy Aubergine with Sticky Garlic Rice, or Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Spicy Chickpea relish.

4. The Duke of Cambridge

The Duke of Cambridge, located in Islington, is the first organic pub in the UK. They mainly focus on operating in an environmentally sustainable way and serve fantastic beers, organic wines, and cocktails. Their menu offers exceptional British cuisine, and for those wanting to try something different, the Spiced brown crab on toast is a great option.

5. The Spread Eagle

The Spread Eagle, located in Homerton, is the first vegan pub in the world. They prioritise sustainability, waste reduction, and a range of plant-based offerings for both food and drinks. The menu offers a selection of signature dishes, including classics like Pie and Mash ‘n’ liquor, or The Ploughman's board.
