Greenhouse is a bar/restaurant at 100 St Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia. Designed by Dutch-born florist, artist, builder and environmentalist Joost Bakker, and opened in 2009,[1][2] it is a "quirky, eco-friendly restaurant" concept,[3] which has been described as "... a breath of fresh air and a brilliant example of innovation in the restaurant sector."[4]

As a concept, Greenhouse has a mission to improve vastly on the ways restaurants are created, to have better design, better operation, and to be "completely waste free from the ground up".[1] Amongst other things, Greenhouse "... has its vegetable garden on the roof, grinds its own organic flour, has walls made of hay bales and boasts a zero-carbon footprint."[4]

The Greenhouse concept has also appeared, in temporary, "pop-up" restaurant form, at Federation Square in Melbourne in 2008-09,[1][2] at Sydney Harbour in 2011,[1][5] and at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in 2012.[1][2][6]

The head chef at Greenhouse is Matt Stone.[5] Both he and the restaurant have won a number of awards. In 2010, Stone was named Best New Talent at the national Gourmet Traveller Awards;[7] he has since been awarded Young Chef of the Year by The West Australian Good Food Guide in 2011[4] and 2012.[8]

The restaurant was given a one star rating, and the award for Best New Restaurant of the Year, by The West Australian Good Food Guide 2011,[8] and retained its one star rating for 2012[8] and 2013,[9] but lost that rating for 2014.[10]

Greenhouse also featured in an episode of MasterChef Australia series 5 in 2013.[11][12]
