PAUSE Restaurant
The kitchen at PAUSE aims to create meals through a fusion of flavors, aromas, and impressions with strong influences from the Scandinavian, Asian, and Mediterranean palates; creating bold tastes to tease your senses.
This is the heart of Graceland Eco Retreat, inviting you to enjoy your meals in a relaxed environment with a view of the valley.
We believe that our pre-set menu concept provides a higher quality eco-friendly culinary experience.
Unfortunately, Pause does not work as a walk-in restaurant, and we service mostly guests that are staying with us.
However, if we have dinners for in-house guests, outside guests are welcome to join, if pre-booked at least 3 days in advance.
Please feel free to let us know what dates you have in mind and we can check availability.
We unfortunately do not serve breakfast or lunches to outside guests.
Meals can only be booked directly with Graceland Eco Retreat.
No meals can be booked through a third party e.g. Booking.Com, Travelground, Lekkeslaap, etc.
Breakfast
Served between 7h30 and 9h00.
Breakfast is a farmer’s table with coffee/tea, juice, cheese, boiled egg, breads, greens, homemade jams, pickles, condiments, and a yogurt parfait followed by a cooked dish. Packed breakfasts and lunches can be arranged for guests that are going out for the day or have a long trip to their next destination.
Dinner
Served between 18h30 and 20h30.
Dinner is a 5-course set Table D’hôte with influences from all over the world. Menus are designed with fresh produce in season and as much attention is given to plating as there is to flavours. The breadboard service is served on the terrace if the weather allows and followed by dinner in the candlelit restaurant.
