MY KITCHEN
The open kitchen and dining area, with its long wooden table, truly is the heart and soul of my home. Its warm atmosphere embraces you, inviting you to enjoy coffee with a home-baked treat. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all cooked and served by me in the intimate setting of the dining area. The table setting is tailored to my guests, with evident attention to detail and delightful little surprises. My style of cooking is home kitchen-inspired, shaped by my travels around the world and my love for international cookbooks – simple, tasty food made with care. Please do advise of any dietary requirements or allergies in advance.
MY DINING
BREAKFAST
Breakfast is served in the open kitchen dining room, courtyard, or in the garden, weather permitting. It includes seasonal fruits and vegetables, organic dairy and meats, complemented by warm bread, homemade jam or marmalade, and my style eggs of the day. Coffee, tea, and freshly squeezed juice accompany your breakfast.
AFTERNOON TEA
Afternoon Tea is served with freshly home-baked cakes and cookies. You may enjoy your tea in the upstairs lounge, downstairs in the open kitchen area, or outside in the courtyard or the garden. I have been baking since I was a little girl, and afternoon tea remains my favourite tradition.
LUNCH
Lunch consists of an open sandwich or a salad with cheese. I’ll be happy to make a pasta dish if you prefer a warm lunch – all in “The Monica” style, depending on the season. A takeaway basket or picnic lunch is also available for sunny days. There’s no fixed menu, but you’re welcome to talk to me about any preferences.
DINNER
Dinner is a three-course meal that changes daily, featuring local, organic, seasonal vegetables and greens, and ending with a delightful dessert. Charcuterie, olives, caviar, and selected cheeses are also available at all times. To complement the meal, I offer a superb selection of my favorite wines. Dinner is served at the long table in the open dining area, or outdoors in the courtyard during the summer months.
Last Ferry Meal – A light meal will be available for guests arriving on the last ferry. Monica will be delighted to discuss your preferences and create a suitable arrangement.
Guests may also enjoy exclusive add-ons, including access to a well-stocked wine cellar, a selection of the world’s finest spirits, and fine cigars.
