Organic London Restaurants

London's first truly environmentally sustainable restaurant was Arthur Potts Dawson's Acorn House in King's Cross. Using bio diesel, eco-sensitive takeaway containers and on-site water purifiers, Acorn House leaves no natural stone unturned. The food is sustainably sourced as well as being inventive and absolutely delicious.

Islington gastro pub The Duke of Cambridge is certified by the Soil Association and serves a delicious range of organic food and drink. The blackboard menu changes constantly but always features fantastic, fresh and inventive cuisine. One of London's favourite gastro pubs, diners can eat in the bar or in the dining room.

This restaurant is famous the world over for its use of exquisite ingredients. The owners attribute their incredible success to sourcing only what is in season for their Italian menu. The River Café is stylish and expensive, but it's also considered one of the best restaurants in the world. 

Arthur Potts Dawson, the man behind Acorn House, has opened a second environmentally sustainable restaurant, Waterhouse. The canal-side restaurant uses hydro-electric power and rooftop solar panels. Much of the food is organic and fair trade and the worms in the wormery eat up raw food waste.

Notting Hill eatery Bumpkin professes to be "for city folk who like a little country living". And rustic and organic it certainly is. The many menu highlights include Dorset lobster; organic chicken; and Bath cheese, leek and prune terrine. The original Bumpkin also has branches in South Kensington and Westfield Stratford City.

Vegetarian, organic, Italian – Amico Bio ticks all these boxes. The Italian chefs import ingredients directly from the family farm in Capua, Italy, so you can be sure that your food is 100% authentic. Pick from delicious veggie dishes such as red bean soup with pasta, and pan-fried potato and vegetable cake with roasted tomato and crispy onions.
