SUSTAINABILITY

A better world, the Athenian way.

plant-FORWARD

We recently updated our menu which includes new vegan sauces, new plant-based proteins and 100% vegan cakes!

With these latest additions, The Athenian's menu is 75% plant-based, underscoring our commitment to becoming a plant-forward brand.

While we will continue to serve chicken, pork, and halloumi, our product development will be focused on plant-based proteins and sauces that offer the same bold, satisfying flavours & nutrition as animal-based offerings.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The decision to shift towards a more plant-forward menu is driven by The Athenian’s desire to reduce its CO2 emissions & environmental impact.

All packaging is biodegradable and we don’t stock single use plastic. Our hope is that by reducing our dependence on animal products, it can have a positive impact on our CO2 output.

Environmental indicators show that plant based foods produce 76% less CO2 emissions compared to the production of meat products.

new standards

Our new vegan sauces & plant-based proteins are just the latest examples of our dedication to providing delicious and sustainable options for customers. By choosing to embrace a plant-forward approach, The Athenian is setting a new standard for restaurants everywhere.

"We're thrilled to be launching new vegan sauces and further reduce our CO2 emissions," said Tim Vasilakis, founder of The Athenian.

We’ve also launched “Meat Free Mondays” online to increase awareness & give everyone the opportunity to consider eating a plant protein at least once a week!
