Hotel LEGOLAND Billund: Sustainability Meets Culinary Delight

Sustainability in gastronomy has a new front-runner: Hotel LEGOLAND in Billund. Despite the common notion that organic products are always more expensive, the hotel demonstrates how one can be eco-friendly while maintaining stable prices. With the recent award of the Bronze Eco-Food Seal, Hotel LEGOLAND proves that quality and ecology in gastronomy can go hand in hand.

Organic Products Without a Price Increase

Hotel LEGOLAND is setting a new benchmark in the industry. Over 40% of the raw materials used in their kitchen are organic. Highlights include fresh organic fruits and vegetables, home-baked organic bread, and selected organic beverages. This impressive feat is the result of constant efforts and outstanding teamwork.

Kari Brandsgård, the Hotel Director, remarks: "It's a commendable team achievement spanning our kitchen, bakery, and restaurant. This accolade is the outcome of our relentless commitment and hard work."

Strategies for Sustainable Gastronomy

So, how does the hotel offer organic quality without hiking the prices? The answer lies in the strategic decisions the hotel made regarding its food supply and processing.

The primary goal was to minimize food waste. "We've moved away from buffets and now serve portioned dishes," explains Brandsgård. Moreover, the traditional meat-to-vegetable ratio has been redefined. Vegetables often take center stage, with meat serving as a complementary side.

Not just the method of food preparation, the sourcing matters too. The hotel emphasizes using local and Danish products, reducing long transport routes and the associated CO2 emissions.

A Highlight: The In-house Bakery

The hotel's bakery deserves special attention. It operates exclusively with organic flour, ensuring guests are greeted with fresh organic bread every morning. "Given the many guests visiting us for LEGOLAND Billund, breakfast is a central aspect of our offering," notes Brandsgård. "The bread is baked daily, and by opting to bake smaller portions, we further mitigate food waste."

Conclusion

With its commitment to organic products and sustainable gastronomy, Hotel LEGOLAND in Billund sets a standard for the industry. It impressively illustrates that sustainability and exceptional quality are not contradictory but can coexist in perfect harmony. A visit promises not only an experience for LEGO fans but also for culinary enthusiasts who appreciate sustainable and high-quality gastronomy.
