Traditional brunch made by locals
The tastes of Banat region enhanced by a scenic natural surroundings
ENQUIRE
Overview
Fill your plate with the “best of”s from Banat and the dishes that grandparents used to eat back in the day, that are brought back by local families of chefs that prepare food with all their soul. The local praised salty cake “mălai”, made with corn flour, is accompanied by local sheep cheese, onion and optionally bacon. “Tocană”, a cold vegetable stew with rice, is still the go-to solution for conserved goods. Along with “sarme” (rolled cabbage), the local chefs are boasting great skills in preparing “balmaș”, a hot dish based on corn boiled in cheese. All these are accompanied by herbal teas from local plants, artisanal beer and wine, local plum brandy “răchie” and the mandatory high spirits.

10% of revenues are dedicated to creating a community conservation fund
This is an instrument that keeps giving back to nature by funding small conservation projects to help maintain the wildness of the area. The fund is managed by WWF involving locals in choosing and implementing the local projects. From small river restoration projects to reducing pressure on certain habitats, we give back 10% of what you pay to nature.
