8 Sustainable Restaurants in Ireland

Spectacular ambience and interior designed with grow boxes, Loam uses these not just for beautification but to grow herbs for the restaurant menu and flowers for a serene feel. This restaurant keeps it small and fresh, for a dynamic and optimal experience of culinary goodness and taste and reduces food waste.

Loam's philosophy remains to keep it healthy and local, hence they only use ingredients from the west of Ireland. While working to invent great flavours and recipes, they use every edible part of animals, fish and plants. Also not tolerating waste, Loam converts final waste to compost which goes back to the plants, boosting their growth.
