Organic eats at Green Pastures

I rarely go to malls outside Makati City since normally traffic is heavy most of the time just going from Makati to Ortigas.

Since I went to EDSA Shangri-la Mall with a friend one time, we made sure that we went to a restaurant that is different from the restaurants in Makati. With this, my friend and I ended up trying an restaurant called Green Pastures.

Green Pastures is a farm-to-table type restaurant which makes use of organic ingredients sourced locally for their dishes. It is a restaurant run by Chef Robby Goco(of CYMA restaurant) and it offers a wide range of dishes to choose from.

The restaurant has a nice green wall filled with organic plants

Colourful chairs, Edison type lights,and big jars containing
various ingredients are seen at the kitchen/salad bar area

Their menu is quite long and my friend and I took sometime to choose from their menu since it was quite text heavy and did not make use of any photos.

We ended up trying the Farmhouse salad, 80/20 burger and Tequila Joe's Organic beef sloppy cow.

Their 80/20 burger is a combination of 80% wagyu beef and 20% pancetta mixed together and served with stracciatella cheese. My friend liked the fries since it was served with some grated cheese on top.

If you have been eating at Tequila Joe's restaurant before, I am sure that you remember their famous Sloppy cow dish. The good news is that Green Pastures serves this dish which has tender pieces of flavourful organic beef.
