Our Top London Restaurants for Conscious Eating
Here are our top London restaurants and eateries who are championing sustainable and organic food sources, independent ownership and delicious ways of eating. We hope you will go out and support them!
“Restaurants in the UK produce nearly 200,000 tonnes of food waste every year, costing the food industry a huge £682 million annually. The equivalent of 320 million meals is thrown away every year by restaurants in the UK, which is five times the population of the UK.”

JOY, Portobello Dock
Situated outside in the lovely Portobello Dock makes JOY the perfect space to enjoy warm Spring lunchtimes and Summer evenings, al fresco. Their menu features delicious dishes which celebrate seasonal Kentish produce sourced from Canterbury by The Goods Shed; a farmer’s market, food hall and restaurant offering fresh Artisan foods. If you can’t make a booking, you can still enjoy JOY at home courtesy of their ‘ready meals’ and dinner kits!
Little Duck The Picklery, Dalston Lane
Sister restaurant to Duck Soup in Soho, The Picklery is a fermenting kitchen, wine bar and eatery situated on Dalston Lane. Here you will find a simple, seasonal and carefully considered menu with special mention to the eatery’s own homemade ferments, pickles and fermented drinks. This has to be in our top London restaurants list because of it’s timeless appeal for a casual night out.
Westerns Laundry, Highbury East
We’ve made many a trip to Westerns Laundry for takeaway coffees and delicious pastries these past few months, so we were delighted to learn that they have made plans to open an outside dining area from April 12th! Just like their sister restaurant, Jolene, Westerns Laundry’s menu will be celebrating sustainable and regenerative produce, specialising in sustainably sourced seafood. Both Jolene and Westerns Laundry have been a top London restaurant for our team for years now, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon.
Spring, Somerset House
Created by sustainable food advocate and female chef of the year award winner, Skye Gyngell, Spring is one of the most beautiful and sustainable places you can dine in London – becoming the first restaurant in the city to completely ban single-use plastics. Their truly delicious menu celebrates biodynamic produce, which is sourced locally in the UK from Fern Verrow farm. Listen to our podcast episode with Skye to learn more about sustainable eating here!
Farmacy, Notting Hill
The highly acclaimed (and with good reason!) Farmacy celebrates the very best of plant-based, sustainable food. Their vibrant menu is a true reflection of the company’s core ethos which champions sustainability within the culinary and agricultural industries. Ingredients are sourced from the Farmacy biodynamic farm where all produce is grown in total harmony with the land and animals, and always without artificial chemicals and fertilisers.
