Card guarantee and cancellation
A €150-per-guest bank preauthorisation guarantees the table; it is not payment for the menu. Changes and cancellations need at least five days’ notice by email, followed by the restaurant’s confirmation. Late changes or no-shows can incur that guarantee amount. Separate reservations cannot be combined into one table.

Dietary needs and children
Disclose allergies, coeliac requirements and intolerances when arranging the meal so the team can assess adaptations. There is no exclusively vegetarian menu. The restaurant does not recommend the experience for children under ten and has no highchairs or special children’s menu; its FAQ mentions a child’s alternative from €98. Discuss the actual arrangement before booking. Pets are not admitted.
