Embark on a culinary journey and enjoy a delectable meal at the Forester Restaurant. From the hard wood floors to soft jazz music playing in the background, the Forester resembles a prestigious old English restaurant with impeccable style and class. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menu is populated with a range of delicacies and hearty dishes, from Krummelpap to Lamb Rump. If one is merely looking for a casual encounter and remarkable view, you are more than welcome to order and enjoy the luxury of our gardens.

We kindly request that you do not bring your own wine, as we do not offer corkage services.

    Forester Restaurant was the perfect place to celebrate our 27th anniversary. Thank you for making it so special, for the handwritten note, the champagne and the vegan menu with so many really creative and absolutely delicious choices! We has such a lovely dinner, the ambience was cosy and all the fairy lights outside made it very special. We will definately return, maybe for breakfast in the pretty gardens. Thank you Hawthorn team!

    We had a lovely experience. We were especially impressed with Malinda, our waitress. She was a wonderful example of someone who really knows and loves her work. She made sure we felt very spoilt and her professionalism is unmatched. We'll be back.
