Committed to an environmental approach, the O'Rabasse restaurant in Richerenches has been awarded the Ecotable label with 3 macaroons, becoming the first restaurant in the Enclave des Papes region to be awarded a sustainable catering label.
This label identifies restaurants with sustainable practices.
Écotable, the first sustainable catering label, references and promotes eco-responsible establishments so that everyone can choose their restaurant based on ecological criteria. Created in 2019, the company has developed a set of tools to support restaurateurs in their virtuous approach. While eco-responsibility in the restaurant business means sourcing seasonal, organic and local produce, it also involves many other criteria, such as water and energy consumption, waste and unsold goods management, and so on. Écotable analyzes all these aspects through its environmental audit, which measures a restaurant's ecological coherence and determines whether or not it has been awarded the Écotable label.
O'Rabasse has taken an advanced approach, sourcing at least 50% of its produce from organic farming or sustainable sources. In particular, it ensures that its citrus fruits are untreated, as conventional farming exposes peels and zests to numerous treatments. His home cooking is based on fresh, seasonal produce. The menu features a significant proportion of plant-based ingredients, and always includes a vegetarian plate. O'Rabasse bans eggs from caged hens, opting instead for organic or free-range eggs. It seeks to limit waste, on the one hand by creating anti-waste recipes, and on the other by offering alternatives to disposable and single-use plastic. Finally, because its ecological approach is advanced, O'Rabasse makes a point of sharing it with its customers in its communications to raise their awareness.
