Flavourful – and thoughtful!
To run an Italian restaurant outside of Italy – in this case Berlin – normally requires a fair amount of imported produce, especially if you aim to serve fish and seafood. Barra, under the motto: “Thoughtful, seasonal cooking, better shared”, have found a way to do this without putting unnecessary strain on the eco system. Italian suppliers deliver by train only and when meat is served, the kitchen takes care to use the whole animal, something that feels very natural since this particular brand of Italian cooking – traditional with a twist – rests firmly on no-frills dishes such as ragus and charcuteries.
Sustainability highlights
- Source produce locally and directly from farmers and fishers
- Use whole-animal butchery, with all parts repurposed
- Deliveries from Italian suppliers are made exclusively by train to lower carbon emissions
- Powered by a heat pump system and renewable energy
