Responsible Restaurants
While the deliciousness of the food plays the main role in our enjoyment of a restaurant, the look and feel of the space is also a key reason to keep us going back. And when the owners and chefs incorporate organic, local and sustainable practices into the mix, we’re sold. Below are a few of our favorites restaurants around the country that do just this–for what goes on the plate and in the room.

California
Located on a corner of the eclectic Abbot Kinney Blvd in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, Gjelina is a gem for local food and interior design splendor. With a wood-clad ceiling made from reclaimed barn planks and communal dining tables, the bustling restaurant serves fresh California fare in sustainable style. For more information, visit: http://www.gjelina.com/.
Washington
In the fun Seattle neighborhood of Capitol Hill lives Sitka & Spruce: a low-key restaurant that serves farm-fresh foods prepared with simple, Northwest ingredients and lots of care. Regulars and travelers visit the space for its affordable, healthy fair and compelling décor of industrial and rustic touches. For more information, visit: http://sitkaandspruce.com/.
New York
The Fat Radish is a simple, spare space in New York City’s Lower East Side that houses a rooftop herb garden, a menu with a farm-to-table ethos and a wine list that features many organic and biodynamic varieties. The restaurant, which is reminiscent of the original Covent Garden marketplace in London, also sells the plant-based and refillable cleaning products, Common Good.

New Mexico
In the small town of Los Ranchos (near Albuquerque), the recently remodeled Los Poblanos Inn creates meals inspired by the daily harvests from the organic farm, often doing away with menus. The space, which sits on 25 acres of historic property, is applauded for its architecture and authenticity (and not to mention its strong support of local and organic practices).
