Embark on a culinary journey and enjoy a delectable meal at the Forester Restaurant. From the hard wood floors to soft jazz music playing in the background, the Forester resembles a prestigious old English restaurant with impeccable style and class. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menu is populated with a range of delicacies and hearty dishes, from Krummelpap to Lamb Rump. If one is merely looking for a casual encounter and remarkable view, you are more than welcome to order and enjoy the luxury of our gardens.

We kindly request that you do not bring your own wine, as we do not offer corkage services.

    Not a lot of flavour in food. Chicken very dry.
