BRIDGES ORGANIC HEALTH RESTAURANT: GREEN LIVING AT ITS BEST.

Ever thought of  Green and Organic living?

Organic farming is the practice based on holistic, ecologically balanced agricultural practices that do not involve chemicals in the growing of crops. These practices include, but are not limited to, the use of compost manure, soil conservation, and natural pest control methods.

Bridges Organic Health Restaurant is an all-organic restaurant located in Tubman Road, Off Koinange Street, and adjacent to the City Market stalls in Nairobi’s Central Business District. Started in 2006 by Ms. Anne Mbugua, a lawyer in Nairobi who could not find a suitable eatery that served whole organic foods, she got inspired to open this warm homely joint.

Rated #47 out of 291 restaurants in Nairobi on TripAdvisor.Com, Bridges Organic Restaurant has an elegant menu that serves a wide range of healthy foods such as Brown Rice, Wholemeal chapatis, Sweet potato Mandazi, Organic Fish, Kienyeji chicken, and organic eggs. Not forgetting their signature freshly made fruits and vegetable juices that have high nutritional content and are very tasty.

So how does Bridges Restaurant ensure its produce is Organic and Farm Fresh?

Bridges Organic Restaurant works with Certified local organic farmers that are members of the Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN).

Together with KOAN, the Kenya Institute of Organic Farming ( KIOF) is another Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that is involved in Organic Farming in Kenya. KIOF trains local farmers on sustainable organic farming practices, and these farmers supply the Restaurant with fresh organic foods in order. Farmers are educated and empowered to use their locally available resources which includes their indigenous knowledge of their environment for maximum productivity of their farms.

Why should we choose organic foods? The Manager of Bridge Restaurants, Ms. Caroline advises that we should choose organic foods because they are as pure as possible and are 50% more nutritious. With its in-house Nutritionist, Bridges Organic  Restaurant employs healthy cooking methods such as

·         Not over-cooking the vegetables to retain its nutritional content
