Earth Day turns 40, and she’s never looked better. Her secret? Eco-responsible restaurants like these:
Charcut Roast House
Charcut makes almost all dishes (even ketchup) from scratch—and uses every last possible ingredient to its fullest potential. (We love the bone marrow au gratin!)
Charcut Roast House; 101, 899 Centre Street S.W.; 403-984-2180; www.charcut.com
FARM
With a provincially-inspired menu, count on ingredients and entrees made with as much provincially-grown (and made!) delicacies as possible.
FARM; 1006 - 17 Avenue S.W.; 403-245-2276
The Coup
This vegetarian resto is synonymous with organic and locally-grown food. (Plus they recycle and compost!)
The Coup + Meet; 924 17th Avenue S.W.; 403-541-1041; www.thecoup.ca
Open Range
When it comes to locally raised beef, elk and bison, Open Range has got game.
Open Range; 1114 Edmonton Trail N.E.; 403-277-3408; www.open-range.ca
Rouge
If it wasn’t grown from its garden, it was brought in by a local grower—no long trips from ground to plate here.
Rouge; 1240 8th Avenue S.E.; 403-531-2767; www.rougecalgary.com
