Al Ajami is not just a culinary story rich in heritage and inventiveness, it is also an unprecedented environmental commitment in the world of Lebanese gastronomy.
Indeed, all our meats are selected from organic farming and respectful of animal welfare, when our vegetables do not come from further than Europe. Our traditional recipes, of which we have the secret, are thus for the most part certified by the Less Saves the Planet label, because eco-responsibility is one of our priorities. The Less Saves the Planet label aims to help the world of haute cuisine to take eco-responsible measures while leaving chefs the freedom and creativity necessary to exercise their art, and this through membership. to a charter that you will soon be able to find on our tables.
The first restaurant to be labeled in this way, Al Ajami is therefore proof that combining haute cuisine and preservation is possible, and above all that it is a goal to strive for. Having the greatest number of our dishes and menus labeled Less Saves the Planet is on the same level as the quality of our service to you, so "let's learn to eat better to save the environment!" ".
