Discovery of the Year for the We're Smart Green Guide!
It is with immense pride that we announce our restaurant has been selected as a nominee for the 2025 We’re Smart Discovery Awards, an international event that highlights pioneers in plant-based gastronomy around the world.
Among 36 selected establishments in 12 countries, we are honored to represent a culinary vision we passionately embrace: that of signature plant-based cuisine—free, mindful, and committed.
Recognition for Our Plant-Based Commitment
The We’re Smart Discovery Awards, organized by the We’re Smart Foundation, annually honor restaurants that place fruits and vegetables at the heart of their approach. This award celebrates innovation, sustainability, and creativity in the kitchen.
🗓 Join us on November 11, 2025, in London to discover the grand winner of the “Discovery of the Year” award!
A vegetarian omakase menu that changes with the seasons
Our nomination also reflects the uniqueness of our concept:
➡️ A vegetarian omakase menu, designed as a journey through the seasons, textures, and emotions.
➡️ A ritual of trust between the chef and their guests, where each plate becomes a dialogue with life, the land, and the climate.
We don’t simply serve “plant-based” food. We choose simplicity, sensitivity, and respect, so that every bite tells a story with meticulously selected ingredients.
L’Horizon on Earth: the vision that inspires all our cuisine
Behind our restaurant lies a founding project: L’Horizon on Earth.
It is not a secondary concept or a peripheral commitment; it is the very heart of our approach, the source that inspires every menu, every service, and every choice.
This project, which we detail in our dedicated newsletter, is a manifesto for a gastronomy connected to the earth in all its dimensions: ecological, human, and artistic.
It gives meaning to our cuisine—whether vegetarian, plant-based, or conceived in other ways—by embodying a holistic vision that is deeply rooted and resolutely focused on the future:
- Reducing our carbon footprint
- Working closely with responsible producers
- Passing on sustainable expertise
- Blending culinary creation with artistic expression
Being named by We’re Smart today is also a recognition of this alignment between the table and the world—between what we serve and what we deeply believe in.
What this nomination means to us
Being among the nominees means being recognized by a discerning jury that is attentive to the initiatives shaping the cuisine of tomorrow. It encourages us to continue our exploration, to delve deeper, and to cultivate meaningful cuisine without compromising on flavor or impact.
We believe in a cuisine that is both poetic and political—one that acts without imposing, that inspires without instilling guilt. This recognition gives us the momentum to go even further.
But we haven’t forgotten that none of this would be possible without you.
You who come to discover our restaurant, support our vision, discuss, share, and inspire us every day.
Our thoughts go out to our team, our producers, and our partners. This nomination belongs to you, too.
🗓 On November 11, 2025, the grand prize will be announced in London.
And in the meantime, we invite you to come experience L’Horizon, right here, right now. 🌍
See you soon,
