MICHELIN Nordic Countries Sustainability Award 2020: Magnus Ek of Oaxen Krog & Oaxen Slip

"Set in a former boatshed by the water on Djurgården in central Stockholm, this sibling shares the 2020 MICHELIN Nordic Countries Sustainability Award for embracing all elements of sustainability and sharing its knowledge with others. "Oaxen Slip is a bustling bistro which was awarded a Bib Gourmand in 2013 for its wholesome, heartening cooking – and has held it every year since." Its sustainability-led practices include sourcing local and seasonal ingredients (many from the team’s organic garden), promoting high animal welfare and sustainable use of marine resources, providing a menu with plenty of vegetarian options to encourage balanced consumption, converting food waste into biogas or compost, and using every possible part of each plant and animal—values that have guided the team since opening their first restaurant in 1994 on the island of Oaxen." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
