Good Bank

The Good Bank restaurant on Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße in Mitte comes with a special concept designed to promote greater sustainability, as Good Bank is the world’s first “vertical-farm-to-table restaurant,” growing its own vegetables and salads directly on-site. Good Bank utilizes available space for fresh on-site harvesting, protecting the environment by eliminating long transport routes, cold chains, and packaging waste.

The menu at Good Bank features seasonal salads, cold and warm bowls, soups, and delicious burritos and sandwiches. Many of the dishes offered are also vegetarian or vegan. Dishes made with self-grown salads are explicitly indicated on the menu.

The vertical farms are supplied by the leading “vertical farming” company INFARM and adorn the long wall behind the sales counter in the narrow shop as illuminated shelves. Vegetables and salads are grown in these farms without any pesticides and without genetically modified seeds. The salads can therefore be harvested directly in the restaurant – it hardly gets any fresher. The nutritional values of the salads are also higher than those from conventional agriculture. However, since Good Bank offers more than just salads, the focus for other dishes is on seasonal and regional products from the surrounding area, to keep transport routes as short as possible here too.
