The on-site restaurant serves made-to-order cooked breakfasts, including local bacon and sausages, as well as unique dessert specials such as Viennese mincemeat tart with Amaretto custard. Stone-baked pizzas, gluten-free options, and a dedicated dog menu are available for lunch and dinner. A wide selection of local drinks is offered at the bar, and table service covers the entire dining area.
