Vegetarian options include buttermilk pancakes with a fruit compote and avocado and poached eggs on toasted sourdough bread. Guests can also find a restaurant serving American and French cuisine. The wine list includes classic, organic, and biodynamic options, including some from the UK. The Hills have also employed a skilled baker, who spent time working at bakeries in Copenhagen.
