During daily meals, we support the practice of mindfulness in silence by serving meals in the dining room at precisely scheduled times and by treating guests with discretion, friendliness, and attentiveness.

Our food is fresh and mostly prepared by hand. The ingredients we use 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.
