The Green Orchid, nested within Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Downtown Sarasota, Florida, is celebrated as the world's first net-positive energy restaurant. This innovative dining spot is completely solar-powered, designed to produce more electricity than it uses, thanks to its expansive solar array. The vision of Sarasota culinary icons Michael Klauber and Philip Mancini, and designed by Jimi Yui, The Green Orchid offers a garden-to-table menu with ingredients sourced from its own rooftop garden, managed by Operation EcoVets. A beacon of sustainability, its menu caters to vegetarian and vegan preferences, complemented by a unique beverage selection, with a portion of its proceeds supporting Selby Gardens.
