Christmas in the forest
As winter approaches, we light the candles and welcome “White Christmas & Festival of Lights” in the forest. Indoors, we turn up the white Christmas magic. The restaurant transforms into a white winter backdrop with artistic floral installations and a sea of lights, creating a sparkle in the glasses. Outdoors, we break the winter darkness with torches, spotlights, and crackling bonfires.
Book a table in the restaurant – or rent a separate room for larger parties. Read more and find the lunch & dinner menu below. We look forward to welcoming you for a magical (white) Christmas.
NB! Remember to book a table as we have limited spaces.
