Our certified organic vegetarian and vegan cuisine at Benediktushof, certified under DE-ÖKO-006, is dedicated to the special spirit of the house. During daily meals, we support the practice of mindfulness in silence by serving meals punctually in the dining room and through our reserved, friendly, and attentive interaction with guests.

We begin meals together with a ritual and eat in silence.

Our food is fresh and mostly prepared by hand. The ingredients used are organically grown, with an emphasis on seasonality and regional sourcing. In the Benediktushof kitchen, we practice responsible food stewardship and serve wholesome, meat-free meals.

Clarity, simplicity, and creativity in cooking give our cuisine a distinct and recognizable profile. For information and to recreate our dishes at home, you can find inspiration in our Benediktushof cookbooks “The Taste of Zen” or “Masterful Zen Recipes.”

Upon request, we prepare meals for people with gluten and milk protein intolerances, as well as strictly vegan dishes. We can only accommodate other dietary restrictions upon advance notice and for an additional charge of €5.00 per day.
