Ayurvedic and vegetarian meals
Restaurant Calendula

The Calendula Restaurant puts the Ayurvedic philosophy of eating into practice: each course is tailored to the individual constitution and digestion of the guest. Our dishes are prepared with fresh, seasonal and preferably organic ingredients.

 According to Ayurveda, food is not only nourishment for the body, but also the key to restoring balance. At Calendula Restaurant, we create menus that take into account our guests' dosha type, digestive fire (agni), and current condition.

Our vegetarian meals are not only tasty and nutritious, but also help detoxify, boost the immune system and keep you mentally fresh. Eating with us is a conscious ritual that complements treatments and supports healing.

The Calendula Restaurant is ideal for those on an Ayurvedic programme, but also for those who want a truly conscious dining experience.

"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food." (Hippocrates)

We have been providing therapeutic nutrition to our patients for 30 years. Since the clinic's inception, we have introduced a variety of diets and approaches. These include macrobiotic, isolated feeding, calorie counting. At the same time, the Ayurvedic concept has helped us to understand the concept of what a personalised diet is. Our doctors, in collaboration with our specialists, have developed a general vegetarian diet that is adapted to the eating habits of European people, to climatic and seasonal conditions, and is balanced for all ages.

Following the principles

According to Ayurvedic science, everyone has their own body type (dosa), which can change depending on the seasons, wind, diseases, etc. It is in this light that we started preparing Ayurvedic food for our patients.
Ayurveda attaches great importance to quality and freshness, to the feelings and emotions of the cook, and to the eye-catching presentation that we ourselves keep in mind.

What makes it effective?

  • All our patients have a diet tailored to their body type, as well as their illness or intolerance, as determined during medical consultations.
  • Our meals also follow the changing seasons and are prepared with the appropriate ingredients and cooking methods - again, according to medical advice.
  • The primary process takes place in the pan. We prepare special spice mixtures, masala, that make the food easy to digest.
  • The consumption of meat, animal fats, alcohol and coffee is prohibited in our restaurant. Our healthy meals consist of cereals, vegetables, fruit, fish (in moderation), herbal teas and sauces that aid digestion, absorption and bowel movements.
  • The food should be very light and easy on the stomach: the sick person has already „wasted” some of his energy on illness, and his digestion is usually weak, so the food should be easy to digest.

Weight loss in the clinic

Our patients also visit our clinic to lose weight. It's important to know that we don't count calories in their diet, because we know that being overweight is actually caused by a metabolic disorder. That's why we have developed a special diet that facilitates and stimulates metabolism, thus leading to weight loss. So it's definitely not starvation! The doses given in the clinic are high enough even for dieters, so in fact all our patients lose weight during their treatment programme.

Continuation in everyday life

At the end of the treatment process, each patient is given an Ayurvedic diet according to their body type, with a list of healthy, neutral and harmful foods.

Agenda

  • Breakfast: 7.00 - 10.00
    Kapha is dominant in the morning, so breakfast should be rich, but should not contain any mucus forming ingredients (e.g. eggs, milk)
  • Lunch: 12.00 - 13.00
    From 10 am to 2 pm, our body is dominated by Pitta, which is when the digestive fire, agni, is awakened. We serve our patients a lunch that reduces Pitta and boosts metabolism.
  • Dinner: 18.00 - 19.00
    From 2pm to 6pm, Vata dominates, so we need food that fuels the fire at night and gives us energy in the morning. This meal consists of a soup and a light meal that reduces Vata and contributes to a sufficiently deep, restful sleep.
*In our clinic, three meals a day are part of our therapeutic programmes or included in the price of treatment package offers.
