UK's first ever eco-responsible restaurant Otarian opens in London this summer
Innovative US food company Otarian are planning to open two new restaurants in London's West End this coming summer, prompting great excitement amongst food lovers and those in UK food jobs. Otarian are bringing with them a brand new concept, but what is all the fuss about?
The company is set to open two new restaurants in New York this April, but they are also planning to launch in the UK in June. Their two UK restaurants - opening on London's Shaftesbury Avenue and Wardour Street - will be the first fully vegetarian and low-carbon eateries to ever open in this country.
Otarian's focus is on sustainability and environmental responsibility; creating delicious and exciting menus that promote vegetarianism as the best way of doing this. According to Radhika Oswal, founder of the company, meat dishes have a much greater impact on the environment, whilst:
The restaurants offer diners the chance to save around 3kg of carbon per visit if they opt for the brand's 'Carbon Saving Combo Meal'.
Otarian also plans to recycle as close to 98 per cent of the waste it generates as possible, as well as using only recyclable packaging and eliminating the use of air-freighted produce.
