Building on its core principle of cuisine created from zero food wastage, Swissotel Al Ghurair & Swissotel Living Al Ghurair offers an à la carte Vitality Menu featuring sustainably sourced fish and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, the chefs thoughtfully present healthy options of salads, nuts, homemade jams and syrups at the Vitality Corner of the buffet line daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
To reduce food waste, the hotel has partnered with Orbisk to regularly monitor and manage the waste in the food supply chain and adopt best practices, by working together with the hotel team, vendors and business partners.
Re-enforcing a farm to table concept, the hotel team has built its own vegetable and herb garden on the terrace – the “Swiss Garden”- where one will find mint, basil, coriander, lettuce, eggplant, tomatoes, and other seasonal produce. Plants are introduced as seedlings and regularly tended to by the hotel team. Guests can request a tour of the garden, and children attending the hotel’s Sunday Brunch can access it as well.
