Throwing food away is a waste of resources and good produce. We always use everything when preparing food at the Bristol, to ensure nothing goes to waste. To reduce food waste even more, we have signed a deal with the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Development to cut food waste by 50% by 2030.

We use organic ingredients in our restaurants, and work hard to reduce food waste. We always make use of the highest quality ingredients. And ideally, from local sources. That’s why we always adapt our menus to the season.

Did you know that Olav Thon – the Bristol’s owner – was the man who established the Norwegian bottle deposit lottery? His aim was to encourage the use of bottle deposits, and to create a permanent source of income for charities. The money from deposits goes to the local Red Cross, to support its work in Norway.
