Plant-based London restaurant Farmacy will pop up at Goals House, Alserkal Avenue, from 30 November to 6 December, it has been announced.
It will also launch its new book, the Farmacy Manifesto on the Future of Food.
Farmacy shared that this marks a significant milestone for the restaurant, as part of its expansion to the region with the view to opening permanent sites across the Middle East,
Founded by Camilla Fayed, a food activist and entrepreneur, in 2016, the flagship restaurant in Notting Hill, London, is known for its “approachable take” on nutrient-dense, organic and plant-based food, it said.
Further, Farmacy said it grows and makes dishes nutritionally that are “curated for those passionate about taste, provenance and ‘living food’ recipes, that are good for human health and sustainability.”
The restaurant is supplied by a Demeter-certified biodynamic farm in Kent and Farmacy also collaborates with various initiatives that support food system transformation, radical human health and the cultivation of personal sovereignty, it shared.
The restaurant has partnered with Watermelon Market, a UAE-based sustainable sourcing platform, to serve local and organic food at the pop-up.
During the pop-up, the Farmacy Manifesto on the Future of Food – a collaboration between researchers, artists and writers – will be launched, exploring the interconnected topics of soil ecology, industrial agriculture, the medicinal qualities of food, the gut-brain axis and regeneration.
