Botanical restaurant interior with travertine, warm lighting and tropical planting

LAB BAMBA™PRE-LAUNCH

A new table is taking shape.

An international restaurant collection in development. Entirely plant-based. Refined in flavour, warm in spirit.

PLANT-BASED DINING & FINE FOODSThe restaurant collection has yet to launch.

Spatial impression of the restaurant concept.

Nature sets the tone.

A generous table. A lighter footprint as our ambition.

LAB BAMBA brings the imagination of an international kitchen together with the richness of plants. We are developing restaurants where the atmosphere is as thoughtfully composed as the food: botanical, sensory and effortlessly welcoming.

01 / The kitchen

Plant-based. Full of character.

Vegetables, mushrooms, pulses, grains and herbs are our starting point. Through fire, texture, fermentation and thoughtful preparation, we are exploring a kitchen that surprises and invites you to share.

Dishes and menus will be announced for each location at launch.

Explore our food principles

Beyond the restaurant.

One world, from origin to welcome.

Restaurants

A future collection of restaurants with individual atmospheres and a shared plant-based signature. Locations and opening dates will follow once confirmed.

Fine foods

Thoughtfully selected plant-based ingredients and products for kitchens, hospitality and everyday life. The range is in development.

Provenance & food supply

Green Zones, food hubs and approved producers form the intended link between landscape and kitchen. Provenance, allergens and quality have a defined place in the chain.

02 / The origin

Good food begins before the kitchen.

A crop, a season, a producer. We want to make visible where ingredients come from and how they reach the plate. Our own cultivation and carefully assessed producers will be brought together for each location.

LAB BAMBA

Eat well. Live mindfully.

LAB BAMBA combines varied plant-based cuisine with simple habits: eating mindfully, drinking water, spending time outdoors, moving and making time to rest.

Soil and season

Use familiar seasonal ingredients. Show who grows them, where they come from and how they are prepared.

Plant-based and varied

Combine vegetables, fruit, pulses, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Focus on flavour, variety and a suitable portion.

Attention at the table

Take time to savour your food and eat together. Refined preparation, varied textures and an unhurried table make the moment special.

Water within reach

Make water readily available at meals and activities so guests can have a drink whenever they choose.

Outdoors, at your pace

Pair a meal with a walk, a garden visit or a quiet moment outdoors. Everyone chooses a pace that suits them.

Space to rest

Balance activity with relaxation. A peaceful evening and a familiar daily rhythm are part of the hospitality we design.

Our inspiration

We explore Barbara O’Neill’s everyday lifestyle themes, Chenot’s refined plant-based cuisine and our existing references for food and hospitality. LAB BAMBA draws on these to create its own accessible approach. They are sources of inspiration; no partnership or endorsement has been agreed.

Our other references are Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, SHA Wellness, Lanserhof, Clinique La Prairie, Kamalaya, COMO Shambhala and Six Senses.

This is the intended approach. Menus and activities are confirmed for each location.

The food chain as infrastructure

Living soil. A plentiful table.

Our area developments are given room for regenerative food production where spatial, ecological and economically feasible. We design living environments in which landscape, nutrition, biodiversity, water and hospitality support each other.

It starts under our feet.

A living soil forms the starting point. We investigate soil improvement, water retention and suitable organic residual streams per location.

From soil improvement and cultivation to harvest, preparation, thoughtful food choices and the responsible return of suitable organic residues. Every step in the food chain has a clear place.

An edible landscape.

At each location we explore food forests, agroforestry, regenerative farming, edible landscapes, community gardens, greenhouses and controlled cultivation. Herb and botanical gardens offer space to discover, learn and gather flavours for the kitchen.

Local producers complement their own crops. Soil, climate, seasons, permits, water availability, scale and operation determine which combination fits. Composting and other appropriate residual flows shall be recorded where safe and permitted.

Food hub · selection · distribution

The landscape gets a place at the table.

LAB BAMBA™ becomes the central link for harvest, selection, preparation and delivery. Own production can be complemented by carefully selected local regenerative, organic and plant-based producers. Origin and any certification shall be checked by supplier and product.

The intended chain serves residences, hospitality and longevity locations, restaurants, cafés, retreats, serviced apartments and members. The future online supermarket and member app can connect to this.

More locally self-sustaining, per location designed.

Designed towards greater local self-sufficiency. The long-term objective is to increase the share of local vegetable food supply. We do not promise a fixed self-sufficiency rate: that depends on the location, season, climate and actual production.

In addition to residential and recreational value, we research contributions to biodiversity, soil quality, water retention and local economic activity. Achieved results will only be presented as such when measured.

Digital Food Chain · future member functionality

Know where your food comes from.

Explore the restaurant network, published menus and ingredient origins through the website and My DARK BLUE. Your own orders and personal preferences will be added in a later phase.

The data structure is prepared from producer and growing location to harvest batch, product, order and residual flow. Local production and waste demand measured quantities. Avoided kilometres also require a well-founded comparison route; missing data are not presented as zero or saving.

Ordering is not yet available. Personal wellbeing information stays outside sales, marketing and supplier records.

LAB BAMBA · Restaurant network

A plant-based table, with provenance in view.

Vegan restaurants and restaurants with an approved plant-based menu can apply to join. Each dish is assessed separately for its recipe, allergens and supplier information. Blue Credits at restaurants are being prepared with a choice of business credits or cash settlement.

One chain, connected domains.

LAB BAMBA™ forms the food and distribution layer between existing DBE domains.
