The concept of Slow Food has always been highly valued at Mount Lavinia Hotel - considering MLH’s commitment to sustainability and supporting local growers, fishers, and producers. In the words of Anura Dewapura (Chief Operating Officer of MLHG) ‘Slow Food is not just about savoring a meal; it’s a movement that celebrates local traditions, sustainability, and the pleasure of sharing a good, hearty meal that’s prepared with locally grown, fresh ingredients. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond hosting Slow Food events. Slow Food Sweden is a part of MLH’s ongoing sustainability project. In January, we launched the country’s first ever Vegan Market; MLH PlantEarth Market - coinciding the Poya Vegan Lunch Buffet and Vegan High Tea’.
