We’re Smart\u00ae World, <\/em>the undisputed culinary reference for plant-based cuisine, has announced its ranking of the best vegetable restaurants in the world. Over the past year, We’re Smart World<\/em> has visited hundreds of restaurants around the world. The team assesses whether restaurants’ menus are made up of at least two-thirds fruit and vegetables, but also according to criteria based on their culinary creativity, ecological footprint and social impact. The best plant-based restaurants are awarded 1-5 radishes in the We’re Smart Green Guide<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Distillerie<\/em>, the Luxembourgish restaurant run by chef Ren\u00e9 Mathieu, wins the We’re Smart Award<\/em> for the “Best Vegetable Restaurant in the World” for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The recognition by We’re Smart World means a lot to me. More than ten years ago, I decided to create 100% plant-based food, which was quite a challenge! This award motivates me to go even further. I would also like to thank my team, because without them I would never have achieved this result. Plant-based cooking is not a substitute cuisine, but a cuisine in its own right. It is delicious, colourful, comforting, light, extra gourmet, pleasing, fine, rustic\u2026”<\/em> says Chef Ren\u00e9 Mathieu<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
