Locavore, or the art of eating emblematic local products
Last updated date : 23/10/2026
Les Petites Cantines is a not-for-profit network where diners welcome each other and meet over sustainable, free-price meals, to forge quality relationships and help build a society based on trust.
A participatory mindset:
The meal is an opportunity to meet guests from other generations and backgrounds. Everything is done to facilitate exchanges, to feel connected to others, and to reconnect with a sense of social usefulness. Everyone pitches in, from preparing the meal to cleaning up and washing up.
Sustainable food:
Because they want to take care of both our guests and the planet, they favour sustainable food, based on identified criteria: local production, short circuits, organic farming, less animal protein, collection of unsold organic produce, bulk purchases.
Free contribution:
Everyone contributes the amount of their choice to cover the costs. This allows us to welcome a very wide audience. They communicate transparently about the cost of a meal and their business model.
