The criteria are established at an international level and applied consistently across all participating countries. They are reviewed annually to align with the evolving sustainability standards of the Sustainable Restaurant Association.
This reassessment is conducted in collaboration with national and international sustainability partners and industry experts. The Sustainable Restaurant Association Certification is based on compliance with rigorous, internationally recognized criteria across key areas of environmental and social responsibility, including water, energy, waste management, sourcing, staff and guest engagement, supplier practices, and broader sustainability initiatives.
Compliance with these criteria is verified through a thorough application process and independent third-party assessment, including periodic on-site evaluations. Certification is awarded on an annual basis.
The Sustainable Restaurant Association program is managed by the independent, not-for-profit organization headquartered in London, UK, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the global foodservice sector.

Dieci Boutique Restaurant is fully sustainable.
We are energy self-sufficient, water independent, and recycle all plastic, paper, cardboard, metal, and Styrofoam. As a result, we generate virtually no daily landfill waste.
All glass is crushed on-site using a specialized machine and collected for transport to a certified facility, where it is safely processed.
We grow, harvest, ferment, and compost our own fruits and vegetables. We practice responsible hunting and source only certified meats and fish from non-endangered species.
All dairy products are organic, and our eggs are certified free-range, produced under humane and ethical conditions.
Dieci Boutique Restaurant maintains its own beehives and harvests house-produced honey. Our honey is entirely natural, derived from pure bee pollination, with no added sugars or additives.
We do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers in any indoor or outdoor spaces. We believe in preserving natural ecosystems, allowing birds and insects to thrive as part of a balanced cycle of life.
Zero Waste is our Core Philosophy
At Dieci Boutique Restaurant we produce our own souvenirs and artefacts made from recycled metal, paper and plastic materials and sell them to our guests. By doing this, all our guests feel involved, inspired and indoctrinated into the importance of supporting sustainable actions at our restaurant and everywhere else.
All the money gathered from our homemade artefact sales is devoted entirely and 100% to paying willing members of our small village to go out there and collect all glass, plastic, metal, paper, cardboard and any debris on the streets of Devino and our nearby forests. In this unique way we responsibly incorporate our community and boost in our village’s members the core values of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle; which are the core values of Dieci Boutique Restaurant and Green Key International
Social Responsibility
We encourage all our community to join us and our guests to support with their purchases these unique actions of Dieci Boutique Restaurant. The only restaurant in Bulgaria ever awarded such an important accolade.
We hope this too inspires business owners and the community at large in Bulgaria to follow and copy our sustainable actions from now on and until forever. Following our Responsible Business Philosophy, we reduce our environmental impact in a meaningful way.
By doing this and engaging with clean practices in our past; we have created the restaurant of the future.
