The Florida Aquarium has a brand-new restaurant with a tasty menu and a serious mission.
Cafe Seventy One (because ocean waters cover 71% of the Earth's surface) relies on locally sourced produce, beverages (including beer and liquor), fish and more to reduce carbon footprint.
The sustainability initiatives don't end there.
There are no plastic bottles, no plastic utensils. Reusable and recyclable cooking and serving ware is used.
Cafe Seventy One is open seven days a week — the same hours the aquarium is open.
The cuisine ranges from the kid-friendly fare (nachos, burgers, loaded fries) to bolder items like a roasted pumpkin and whipped ricotta pizza (it's delicious.)
