Eau Dear

Water House Restaurant Opens

You do your damnedest to recycle (but who really has room in their shoe box of a kitchen for one f-ing dustbin, let alone three?).

An easier way to ease your eco-conscience: take a meal at Water House, the new sister eaterie of Acorn House, which opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner today. Perched on the bank of a North London canal, Water House aims to be the greenest, most ethical and community-focused restaurant in London.

Fitted with sustainable materials and a solar-panelled roof, the space uses renewable hydro-electricity. Kitchen waste is compostible, while the menu is written on a board for all to see, thus saving paper. Expect locally sourced (of course) dishes like mozzarella bruschetta, steamed cod with smoked brandade and bittersweet chocolate tart with black pepper ice cream.

Eco-conscious?

This place is wide awake.

Water House, 10 Orsman Road, N1 5QJ (020 7033 0123 or waterhouserestaurant.co.uk).
