Adding to the Volume of Good: Paws for Thought

12 September 2018

Each week we highlight restaurants demonstrating truth and love with amazing, inspiring and selfless acts that make the world just that little bit better.

  1. Fauna (Turkey): The bones from Fauna are donated to a stray dog shelter, and all edible food remains are sent to the stray cats of Istanbul.

  2. Young George (Australia): Western Australia restaurant Young George holds an annual Trash Dinner, which highlights the importance of using all of the produce or animal and educates dining guests about the best ways to combat waste at home.

  3. Amass (Denmark): Amass removed squid from its menu after finding out that the majority was caught using trawlers, meaning other seafood was being collected and discarded in order to provide it.

  4. Mary Eddy's Kitchen x Lounge (USA): Oklahoma eatery Mary Eddy’s Kitchen x Lounge holds multiple pet adoption days each year on its patio for brunch, with a percentage of money going to the animal shelter of the day. They also make homemade doggie treats for new owners.

  5. Arimia Estate (Australia, pictured): The staff at Arimia Estate care for and feed the restaurant’s pigs and chickens themselves, ensuring that they are raised ethically, humanely and sustainably.

  6. Amber (Hong Kong): Bluefin tuna has not been served at Amber since 2008, due to the fish’s endangered status. The restaurant was one of the first in Asia to take a stance against sourcing and serving the popular fish.
