Explore Malaysia’s sustainable dining scene, from A Little Farm On The Hill to Rakh
Discourse on sustainability has gained global momentum, with minimising carbon footprints and contributing to a greener world now a priority of individuals and institutions. Many of us have distanced ourselves from single-use plastic, opting for recyclable takeaway containers and reusable water bottles.
Sustainability, however, does not stop there. Going green is more than a one-off substitution—it’s a process that entails making informed, eco-conscious decisions and lifestyle changes, from the products you purchase to the food you eat. It encompasses minimising environmentally unfriendly imports, consuming local and seasonal produce, and supporting those paving the way for a sustainable future.
If you’re looking for simple but impactful ways to foster a greener lifestyle, we’ve put together a list of restaurants and bars that champion sustainable practices. From farm-to-table dining experiences that celebrate local produce to cocktail bars that repurpose food scraps into inventive tipples, here are ten sustainable bars and restaurants you should visit.

A Little Farm On The Hill is at the forefront of fostering a more sustainable dining scene. Situated in the picturesque Janda Baik, A Little Farm On The Hill supplies the city’s restaurants with organically grown produce while operating a dining venue of its own. The organic herbs, fruits, and vegetables grown here comprise its farm-to-table menu featuring a 12 leaf salad of both foraged and cultivated greens.
Meats are smoked in-house over rambutan wood to create its beef short ribs. There is no sustainable dining experience quite like what A Little Farm On The Hill provides, so much so that the farm and restaurant bagged this year’s Tatler Dining Malaysia’s Award for Best Service.
