Sustainability
Embracing a commitment to sustainability, our culinary ethos revolves around freshness, responsibility, and waste reduction. At our hotel, every dish is a labor of love, made entirely from scratch within our premises. We refrain from purchasing ready-made products, ensuring that our stocks, sauces, and soups are crafted with care. With an environmentally conscious approach, we utilize alternative waste management systems, like ORCA, diverting food scraps from landfills and reducing our ecological footprint. Mindful of food waste, we meticulously track inventory, employ portion control, and creatively repurpose surplus ingredients to minimize any excess. Our seafood sourcing adheres to sustainable practices, supporting responsible fisheries and steering clear of overfished species. Passionate about spreading awareness, we educate our staff and valued patrons about our sustainability endeavors through menu highlights and informative materials. Additionally, we are proud partners of local food banks and charities, donating unused but safe-to-consume food to those in need. We believe in preserving the natural flavors of seasonal produce, embracing preservation and maintenance techniques to ensure peak tastiness. With each culinary creation, we celebrate the bounty of nature and strive to preserve it for generations to come.
