Sustainable Gastronomy
Culinary excellence is combined with sustainability at the acclaimed restaurants and bars at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong. From responsible sourcing and food waste management to eco-conscious operations, the team is dedicated to curating low-carbon dining experiences for discerning guests.
Responsible Sourcing and Sustainable Menu: Sustainable and organic ingredients and local produce, such as ocean-friendly seafood, cage-free eggs and locally farmed vegetables, are prioritised during the menu design. Vegetarian options are available in all restaurants. Beverages such as ecoSPIRITS and Belu filtered water that eliminate waste, sea-aged wine that boasts eco-friendly wine making are on offer.
JW Garden: Herbs are grown in the JW Garden at the hotel and incorporated into flavourful dishes and cocktails, elevating guests’ culinary journey with freshly picked ingredients.
Food Waste Management: Innovative recipes using different parts of the food such as lemon peels, fish bones, and watermelon rinds are developed by chefs to eliminate food waste. Surplus food is donated to a local charity, while food waste is recycled and turned into energy or resources with the Food Waste Collection Scheme.
Eco-Conscious Operations: By taking small steps such as implementing digital menus, offering portioned meals, and using biodegradable materials for takeaway packaging, the hotel restaurants embrace an eco-friendly operational approach.
Celebrating and respecting the bounty of the sea, the hotel’s alfresco seafood restaurant, Fish Bar, reopened in spring 2024 to present a sustainable dining experience after a comprehensive renovation. A strong emphasis on green dining is reflected in the restaurant’s interior design and food and beverage choices as well as operations. Learn more about Fish Bar’s restaurant concept here.
