Guaranteed Green Restaurant Listings

With the Chicago Green Restaurant Co-op's new Guaranteed Green distinction, consumers now have a way to easily find green dining options in Chicago. 

Restaurants that display the Guaranteed Green decal in their window are guaranteed to be certified by either the Green Restaurant Association or Green Seal, two independent, national non-profits that have comprehensive environmental standards for restaurants.

In order to earn certification in either program, a restaurant must meet environmental standards in the areas of sustainable purchasing for food, cleaning products, food serviceware and furnishings, as well as management of energy, water, waste and air quality. To date, all of the restaurants in the Guaranteed Green program are Certified Green Restaurants® in accordance to the Green Restaurant Association's standards. To view the exact steps that each restaurant has taken, visit dinegreenchicago.com and click on the restaurants certification level.

By choosing a Guaranteed Green restaurant, Chicago diners will be able to dine with the confidence that the restaurant they have chosen isn’t "greenwashing," and isn’t just claiming to be green, it can prove it
