A responsible plate
At Le Fangourin, the fight against food waste and the commitment to sustainability are expressed through concrete daily actions.
Sourcing is locally focused, with priority given to Made in Moris-certified suppliers. In the kitchen, portion sizes are carefully designed to limit excess, while used cooking oil is collected and sent for recycling. Vegetable peelings, bones and fish scraps are carefully kept and transformed into homemade stocks and sauces, extending the life of every ingredient. Sorting bins make waste management easier, and all organic waste is processed through the BiobiN system, which turns it into compost. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options and follows a zero-plastic policy: no straws, drinks served only in returnable glass bottles, and filtered still or infused water offered free of charge. An on-site organic garden ensures maximum freshness.
