Sunny West End bakery Gâto is dedicated to decadent yet ecologically made pastries. Environmentalism is baked right into the menu, which offers sourdough across the board and vegan cronuts, croissants, macarons and tarts. Sourdough avoids chemicals used to produce commercial yeast, making it the most sustainable kind of bread. Rising to the eco-challenge, owner Laura Gurbhoo sources local flour and fruit for her creations, believing an earth-conscious focus inspires better flavours.
