Singapore is well and truly on the


green map, thanks to these culinary


destinations.


‘Sustainable dining’
isn’t just a buzzword
spouted by a niche
of eco-warriors;
it has entered the
mainstream with
many restaurants
in Singapore rising
to the occasion.
The term refers to
ethical practices that care about our planet
and environment and reduces the overall
carbon footprint. This means using local and/
or organic produce, providing meat-free
options, having on-site gardens, and choosing
sustainable sources for meat, fish and eggs.

Tower Wing Lobby Level Shangri-La Hotel
Judging from the name of this restaurant, it comes as no surprise that the
origin of the dishes is the main focus here. What you get is fresh, farm-to-
table ingredients with an emphasis on responsible sourcing and sustainability
whenever possible. This includes a bespoke beef selection that is sustainably
sourced, with grass- and grain-fed, pure-, cross- and full-blooded Angus and
wagyu beef from Australia and Ireland, as well as snow-aged wagyu beef from
Niigata, Japan. Seafood-wise, menu selections include line-caught sustainable
seafood from marine-certified coasts (a certification given by the Marine
Stewardship Council in Indonesia, the Philippines and New Zealand).
