AWA RESTAURANT
At AWA, our cuisine is a central part of the experience we offer. Our cuisine is based on regional produce and fruits and vegetables from our organic garden. We offer contemporary cuisine and international dishes that also incorporate local, traditional techniques.
Our commitment, backed by the creativity and talent of our team, is to creating surprising flavors with fresh local products to provide a memorable experience that makes us stand out from the rest.
FROM FARM TO TABLE
We really want to give you the best experience and make your stay unique and unforgettable.Almost all of the fruits and vegetables consumed in Chile today come from the country’s central zone and travel nearly a thousand kilometers to reach the different points of sale.
We, however, want to stock our kitchen with the freshest products possible, and that is why we have our own AWA GARDEN and use local suppliers no more than X kilometers away.
Not only is it important for a company or organization to know and improve its practices, it is equally important to know and choose its suppliers according to their social and environmental practices. Hotel AWA seeks suppliers from different areas according to the following criteria:
- Localism: products made with local labor and as close as possible to the hotel.
- Responsible companies: we seek suppliers who share our way of understanding the world and doing business.
- Environmental commitment: suppliers who have practices consistent with the environment and local setting.
AWA GARDEN
We have had an organic vegetable garden based on regenerative and permanent agriculture since 2017. The garden project began with the need to supply our kitchen with the freshest products and our desire to encourage small-scale agriculture here in the Lake Region.
The garden was designed with a distribution plan aimed to enable it to work under the same structure for 100–200 years or more. Every element in the design plays a role in this permanence.
The fruit trees, shrubs, and native trees have multiple functions, such as providing food, wind blocks, and an ecosystem for beneficial insects.
The bio-intensive garden has permanent beds that are increasingly fertile every year and where we grow the fruits and vegetables we use in the kitchen. We hope that in the near future they will produce enough to be available to the community as well.
