Lunch

Our lunch menu has been created to offer you the choice of a light lunch in one of the lounges, or a more substantial luncheon served in the restaurant.

Restaurant Menu

Relax with apéritifs on the terrace. Then, to your table in one of our four individually styled dining rooms, with fresh flowers, crisp linen, gleaming silver, and superb food.
