When sustainability and supply chain transparency are as important to you as mouth-watering flavours and great beer, what better dining option than Belgian Beer Café Torenhof and its steaming pots of green-shell mussels fresh from the waters of the Marlborough Sounds?
Torenhof’s revamped brunch and a-la-carte menus are a smorgasbord of ethical and delicious options. From the brunch menu, try their Eieren Salmon (Stewart Island hot smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, crispy capers, watercress and toast). And it’s hard to go past Ocean Beef Brisket from the a-la-carte menu – beef raised on lush green South Island pasture and finished with GMO-free grain, served with pan-fried sliced potatoes, glazed baby onions and creamed watercress sauce.
Ingredients are sourced where possible from Canterbury or South Island suppliers and are free range, grass and/or GMO-free fed, and Fair Trade Certified 100% Organic. All seafood is sustainably harvested. And let’s not forget the beer, brewed by some of the world’s oldest breweries to even older recipes – grain, hops, yeast and water, maybe some herbs or fruit depending on the style. Definitely no additives
or preservatives.
Torenhof is open six days a week and offers a great range of vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options. Make it your choice for sustainable dining.
