Our Ethos
Lussmanns is founded on the fundamental belief that it’s possible to be ethical and profitable.
We believe that eating out can have a restorative impact on the planet. Since 2002, we have pioneered sustainable dining – championing local sourcing, promoting organic, high-welfare farming and serving MSC – certified fish. Our restaurants run on green energy, we recycle 100% of all waste and support a wide range of charities.
By eating at Lussmanns you are helping us to achieve our next goal of becoming certified carbon neutral and in the words of the Independent on Sunday, to be ‘ethical, delicious and preach-free’.
