We begin each meal with a few words of gratitude (food prayer) before eating and ensure that all food served is of the highest quality. Our meals are home-cooked, fresh, and 100% vegetarian, prepared with local and nutritious ingredients.
Food affects the state of mind, by changing the balance of energy in the body. Fresh food, vegetables, fruits, grains as well as dairy products are neither depressing nor stimulating. They nourish, energize and satiate. They do what food is meant for, increase the quality of mind and health.
We make sure that the food is prepared with love and good intentions, following the rules of Ayurveda.
