Die heilsame Verbindung aus Yoga, Meditation und Natur schenkt dir neue Energie, tiefe Ruhe und inneren Ausgleich – perfekt, um anschließend erfrischt und gestärkt in den Alltag zurückzukehren. 🌞💫

Every day at lunch and dinner, you can enjoy hearty meals—a vegan, organic, whole-food buffet. If you also enjoy breakfast, you’ll find fruit at the buffet starting at 8 a.m., perfect as a snack after meditation or for a quick bite between meals. Tea and water are available throughout the day.

We use only fresh, organic ingredients in our dishes. We place great importance on seasonal, sustainable products and support local farmers and partners.

Fresh salads, cucumbers, carrots, beets, and two different dressings are the main components of our buffet. For those who prefer hot meals, there are also platters of steamed vegetables—including broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, and fennel—as well as curries, dal, and soups, which are a great alternative to the raw vegetable bar. In addition, there’s always a selection of high-quality oils, grains, and seeds. Bread—or gluten-free alternatives—and homemade vegan spreads are available for brunch.

Information for People with Allergies
All our dishes are homemade and 100% organic. If you have questions about allergens, there is a list with information for people with allergies at the buffet. The dishes are labeled according to this list.
