Mindful Cuisine

Food is important

Enjoy tasty and beneficial meals containing plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, low GI foods, and probiotics. We serve minimal processed foods.

The aroma of herbs freshly picked from the garden, faintly scenting your fingers. The sweet burst of a tomato which hung on a vine mere moments ago. When we bring the practice of mindfulness to what and how we eat, what was previously just a part of your daily routine can become a source of wonder, the simplest act, a form of self-care.

Our whole-person approach to wellness includes nourishing your body in healthful ways. During your stay, enjoy tasty and beneficial meals containing plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, low GI foods, and probiotics. We serve minimal processed foods.

In addition to being based on the latest research on nutrition and mental health, our menu features plenty of fresh produce grown on our land. We proudly patronize local artisans and small businesses and showcase regional Portuguese produce and dishes.
