Zilli Green Awarded

Last week, UK newspaper The Independent named vegetarian eatery Zilli Green London’s Best Restaurant in its 2010 Green Awards. High-profile UK chef Aldo Zilli opened the popular plant-based restaurant in February, which replaced his former omnivorous eatery Signor Zilli. Located in London’s posh Soho neighborhood, Zilli Green makes a great effort to keep its environmental impact low by keeping the menu seasonal and vegan-friendly, and employing vegan chef Enzo di Marino to help craft creative, gourmet cuisine. The restaurant’s meat-free switch was prompted by Zilli’s experiences on the UK reality television show Celebrity Fit Club, where he experienced the life altering health benefits of eating a vegetarian diet first-hand.
