Energy

Restaurants usually use a lot of electricity – probably more than any other commercial sector - because they are always cooking, heating, air conditioning, refrigerating, lighting, and, cleaning.

But at Otarian, as you may have realised by now, we aren’t happy with being a typical restaurant so we use renewable sources of energy and the most energy efficient equipment available. This means that our electricity comes from wind or water or sun and we make sure of this! Even so, we still try and use as little as possible and wherever we can, we use gas instead because this is a little more sustainable.  

We are paying a lot for our sustainable electricity and for reasons too complicated to explain, we can’t even use this in our carbon footprinting.

But take it at our word: Our meals are even better for the planet than we are telling you!

After all, truly sustainable food should provide energy not use it or lose it!
