The restaurant, <a href=\"https:\/\/refettorioparis.com\"><i>Refettorio Paris<\/i><\/a>, has been established in one of the most luxurious areas of the city, in the crypt of the church La Madeleine. With the partnership of an existing charity, <i>Foyer de la Madeleine<\/i>, and the help of Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Rial (CEO of<i> Voyageurs du Monde, <\/i>sustainable tourism tour operator), the restaurant opened on 15th March 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The project, born during the Milan World Expo in 2015, is aimed to offer quality meals for those in most need, cooked with ingredients normally destined to landfill (on a global scale, food waste represents 1.3 billion tons per year). Superstores such as Carrefour and M\u00e9tro are among the food providers, supplying the 130kg of ingredients used for cooking 100 meals a day. And with the project being a non-profit, all the waiters of the Refettorio are volunteers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The customers (women, migrants, families) can have a full dinner \u2013 starter, main course and dessert \u2013 prepared by well-known chefs from all around the world. To date, 50 chefs have already participated by creating varied menus. These dishes were eventually listed in a recipe book (<a href=\"http:\/\/it.phaidon.com\/store\/food-cook\/bread-is-gold-9780714875361\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i>Bread is Gold: Extraordinary Meals with Ordinary Ingredients<\/i><\/a>, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26365 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/refettorio_angelodalbo_39.jpg\" alt=\"Gourmet meals for the homeless: Food for Soul opens its new Refettorio in Paris\" width=\"524\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/refettorio_angelodalbo_39.jpg 524w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/refettorio_angelodalbo_39-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not only a charity, Food for Soul is also a cultural project. Bottura believes beauty should not be a privilege and he wants to welcome his guests in a pleasant and modern environment. To make this happen, he has invited famous designers, architects and artists such as Prune Noury, Nicolas Delon and Kubra Khademi to contribute to the embellishment of the site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Food for Soul clearly distinguishes itself from a traditional and utilitarian soup kitchen. Not only a place to eat, it is a place for guests to enjoy their meal and avoid social exclusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are currently four Refettorio chains active (London, Rio, Paris and Milan) representing 830 volunteers, 340 guest chefs and 45 tons of recovered food. Now Bottura wants to expand his project across the globe and his next destination is the US.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Sabine Khan is a sustainable tourism copywriter living and working in France.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The restaurant offers quality meals for those in most need, cooked with ingredients normally destined to landfill <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":26365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[675,263,138,287,535,573,2669],"tags":[2670],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gourmet meals for the homeless: Food for Soul opens its new Refettorio in Paris<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The restaurant offers quality meals for those in most need, cooked with ingredients normally destined to landfill\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/2018\/05\/gourmet-meals-for-the-homeless-food-for-soul-opens-its-new-refettorio-in-paris\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gourmet meals for the homeless: Food for Soul opens its new Refettorio in Paris\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The restaurant offers quality meals for those in most need, cooked with ingredients normally destined to landfill\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/2018\/05\/gourmet-meals-for-the-homeless-food-for-soul-opens-its-new-refettorio-in-paris\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Travindy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/travindy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/travindy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-05-16T13:09:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/refettorio_angelodalbo_39.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"524\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"349\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Travindy\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@travindy\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@Travindy\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sabine Khan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/2018\/05\/gourmet-meals-for-the-homeless-food-for-soul-opens-its-new-refettorio-in-paris\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/2018\/05\/gourmet-meals-for-the-homeless-food-for-soul-opens-its-new-refettorio-in-paris\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Travindy\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/79576b26c03e84ac969c6cf7ad8118bb\"},\"headline\":\"Gourmet meals for the homeless: Food for Soul opens its new Refettorio in Paris\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-05-16T13:09:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-05-16T13:09:50+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/2018\/05\/gourmet-meals-for-the-homeless-food-for-soul-opens-its-new-refettorio-in-paris\/\"},\"wordCount\":370,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Food for All\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Corporate Responsibility\",\"Food &amp;
