Dining |
|
The three hotel restaurants offer a world tour of gastronomy: the “Thiptara”, with its refined setting overlooking the lake, offer guests an excellent seafood menu with a distinctive Thai flavour. The “Asado”, an Argentinean restaurant where the meat is cooked “asador criollo” on an open grill in the middle of the restaurant for musical dinners and, the “Ewaan” which offers a collection of Mediterranean tastes. For quieter moments, the Lounge Bar offers a selection of teas, coffees and cocktails along with French and oriental pastries. The Shisha area, on the other hand, offers more than a change of scenery; a moment of complete rest to smoke on the terrace whilst admiring the horizon.
