Since 2008, Steve has acquired produce using simple practices which in turn has reduced the distance the harvest travels and results in plating rustic, moorish cuisine.
Sourcing Sustainably
Ethical and sustainable food is food that’s grown close to home with common-sense practices. Nothing makes more sense for the environment and for our health. La Bimba values produce that is in season, organic, grass-fed and from the Otway region. Whilst the produce is incredibly important, it’s the relationships with growers and fisherman that is the foundation for being able to eat truly healthy and honest food.
