“We have always acted with sensitivity to the consequences we have in our environment. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the existing food system is simply unsustainable in so many ways … It is clear that after what we have experienced in the last year, we could not reopen the same restaurant. We decided to serve a vegan menu, in which we do not use any animal products – each dish is made from plant products, either land or sea, as well as fruits, legumes, mushrooms, seeds and much more. The way we prepare our food, the way we consume our food, the way we eat meat, is not sustainable. And this is not an opinion. It is a fact. That is why we decided that our restaurant should have a 100% vegetable base “, he wrote in a relevant post on the restaurant’s Instagram.
