Can a commitment to reducing food miles and energy consumption while promoting sustainability also produce excellent food? In Bordeaux Quay, the answer is a resounding yes.  Located in Bristol, England, in the country’s organic food heartland, this combination restaurant, more casual brasserie, bakery and cooking school is a working eco-demonstration project, and one of the best restaurants in Bristol.  The building itself, a converted warehouse, was redone using a zero-waste principle, the stack effect for natural airflow (except in the kitchen) and rain water cisterns for flushing toilets.  The kitchen is committed to the use of local and seasonal ingredients to reduce the endeavor’s food miles and carbon footprint. Whether you’re sampling the Italian fish stew in the brasserie, the roast sea bass in the restaurant or one of the vegetarian entrees served in either, the food is tasty and the quality is high.  On a non-profit basis and offering scholarships to broaden participation, the cooking school teaches both adults and children about the food chain and preparing simple, tasty meals.  All this and a lovely river view make Bordeaux Quay a must stop on your next visit to England.
