Popular UK-based travel website i-escape.com picks its top five places for organic food.

1.) Milia, Crete, Greece
At this beautifully restored hamlet hidden in a fold of Crete's White Mountains, everything you eat has been grown or reared on their fields – most of it organically. They make their own jams and raki (grappa), raise pigs and hens, harvest local chestnuts, oranges and arbutus, and use fragrant wild herbs and extra-virgin oil. The ebullient local chef creates magical recipes, served on the terrace or by a blazing fire in the cosy dining room.

2.) Strattons, Norfolk, UK
A stylishly-decorated, ecologically-run country house in one of England's loveliest corners - and spectacular food to boot. The daily table d'hôte menu is locally sourced, largely organic, always imaginative, invariably delicious. Think wild mushroom pâté, monkfish and lemon mash, cranberry pudding with stilton ice cream, and a buzzing vibe in the rustic-chic dining room. Weekends away from London don't come much better than this.

3.) Son Gener, Mallorca, Spain
You know you're getting fresh food when the menu is short, the dishes seasonal - and when you see the chef picking vegetables from the hotel's organic gardens. At this chic finca tucked away on Mallorca's east coast, your tumbet (aubergine, courgette, potato and tomato ratatouille) is all home grown, your baked sea-bass still has a gleam in his eye, and your orange juice has pips in. Classic Med cooking with nothing added and nothing taken away.

4.) Jnane Tamsna, Marrakech, Morocco
Meryanne and her ethno-botanist husband Gary are so passionate about preserving Morocco's indigenous flora that they created a huge organic fruit and veg garden in the grounds of their stylish retreat in Marrakech's palmeraie. Their chef, Bahija, produces home-grown harira (soup), tfaya (onion-raisin confit), harissa (chillies, garlic, paprika, caraway and cumin) and kefta (spicy meatballs). It's enough to restore the most jaded palate!

5.) Damai Lovina, Bali, Indonesia
For organic food in exotic surroundings, you can't beat this gorgeous hideaway above Bali's north coast. Most ingredients come from their organic farm, the rest from local markets, and the result is an outstanding 5-course feast: honey-sautéed shrimps with chilli and garden salad, tomato soup cappuccino, lime granite, grilled red snapper in creamy pesto sauce, and ginger and strawberry ice tower to round off.
