Fusion cafe has been running for just two years. Established by Paul, it is located diagonally opposite the B.O.E. on the second floor above the Ramen shop and specialises in organic food and organic music. Having hit the HMV Japan charts in 2008, he can now be found cooking up locally inspired international cuisine and electro funk in equal measures from Monday to Saturday @ FUSION.
The food policies were inspired by a love of the countryside and the Michael Pollan's version of organic philosophy as explained in "The omnivores dilemma", the basic spine of which being that we should eat locally produced food, grown or raised by farmers who take a sustainable approach to maintaining their soil.
To this end, much of the produce at FUSION is grown by Paul himself, who uses the waste products from the cafe to create compost in order to grow as many vegetables as the climate allows, without resort to any chemical fertilisers or pesticides. The rest is supplied by the farmers in the village where he lives.
Dishes include Greek, Italian, Korean, English, Indian and Japanese influences; and in order to maintain ethical standards and variety, only seasonal vegetables are used. Lasagne, hummus, Bibinba, stews, curries and sautees of all kinds come and go from the menu. The only thing guaranteed is that it will be fresh and tasty.
To wash it down of an evening, you'll also find a variety of minority, Japanese produced beers. Draft pale ale and stout appear alongside pilsners and lagers.
Please drop in for lunch and find out about the regular live electro funk and Hip-Hop shows put on with Pat D.
