Our guide to the city’s most environmentally-friendly eateries. Why not treat yourself and try one from our list?

1. Fallow, St James’ Market

   Fallow describe themselves as ‘conscious gastronomy’, and have become a highly established name in the industry since being founded in 2019. Their large menu offers something for everyone, and is divided into plant, sea and land.

2. Mallow, Borough Market & Canary Wharf

Mallow are one of the few fine dining restaurants that can call themselves 100% plant-based. Located in both Borough Market and Canary Wharf, their menus are inspired by the flavours of the world, and they work with small, local producers to provide seasonal and responsible plates from breakfast to dessert.

3. Silo, Hackney Wick

The idea behind Silo - ’not having a bin’ - originated in Australia in 2011, and has gone on to take the form of the world’s first zero-waste restaurant. Based in Hackney Wick, Silo has its own flour mill and on-site brewery, in line with their ambition to reduce food miles and over-processing, whilst retaining as many nutrients in their food as possible.

4. Perilla, Newington Green

Perilla’s food is a “modern interpretation of classical European flavours” and they change their menu daily to reflect the seasons’ offerings. Try their Blackberry and Mint Margarita for a delicious twist on the classic recipe!
