The RAISE Youth Project is proud to present the ‘Terra Gastro Taberna‘ – cafeteria-restaurant led by two young entrepreneurs from the area of La Sagra in Madrid, with training in haute cuisine and eager to make a name for themselves among the most original and successful restaurants in the area.
Eating is a pleasure… but it should also be an act of environmental responsibility. Nowadays, a sustainable way of understanding gastronomy and catering is becoming more and more important: restaurants that respect the natural environment, that take care of the origin of their food and the local commerce, recycle and separate waste, save energy and recycle materials, continuously train and value their workers, etc.
These conditions define sustainable restaurants, the next gastronomic revolution. Among them it is the “Terra Gastro Taberna” in Casarrubuelos.
Adriana and Rodrigo are two young twins who, in addition to sharing family ties, share their passion for catering and cuisine, the environment and ecology. Therefore, with the aim of bringing to Casarrubuelos the best and most original gastronomic offer with organic and local products, they decided to undertake and open their own sustainable restaurant: the ‘Terra Gastro Taberna’.
The idea is to promote the consumption of seasonal food from local producers, supporting the return to a sustainable agriculture based on the products of each season.
This place introduces a new sustainable concept of cuisine, with creative dishes and affordable prices. This is its key factor that differentiates this tavern and its cuisine from the majority of restaurants in the area.
Moreover, this place is special, not only because of the quality of the product they offer, but also for the conception of its furniture and spaces: a careful and warm decoration made with recycled materials recovered from other uses (recycled tables, beer bottles converted into original candlesticks, boxes of products with decorative use, use of recycled table linen, etc.).
The location is also part of their sustainable purpose, as they are located in the village square of Casarrubuelos, in the heart of the historical center of the municipality, with the aim of helping to recover the traditional use of meeting of neighbors that has always been done in the village squares.
Furthermore, in the medium term, our young entrepreneurs also plan to provide small training courses to other young good cuisine lovers, with the aim of making their restaurant a space for training and exchanging culinary knowledge.
For all these reasons, from the very beginning, RAISE Youth Casarrubuelos has wanted to support these two young entrepreneurs in the exciting but also hard adventure they have embarked on. Accompanying them in the process of starting up their business, supporting them in the procedures, offering them training and establishing an intense collaboration between the “Terra Gastro Taberna” and the DEMO Center of Casarrubuelos, for the selective collection and recycling of all the organic material produced: a collection system perfectly replicable in other establishments.
