We are also happy to prepare special treats for your planned visit. For groups of 3 to 6 people, we offer:
Mexican Dinner
Bake and fill your own corn or flour tortillas – right at your table. Each guest has their own baking tray, which is especially appreciated by those who care about their dishes not coming into contact with meat, for example.
We provide you with the dough, vegetables and prepared meat pieces, grated cheese, sour cream, homemade guacamole, salsas, and dips. Seconds included. Delicious fun for social gatherings – also perfect for a family meal with a twist.
Stone Grill *
Just like at home – only without the work before and after! We bring you pre-prepared meat, vegetables, and, if you wish, fish or seafood. Also sauces, dips, and side dishes. Refills for the hot stone are also included in the price.
Because we use small sets (each for two people), this combination is also suitable for groups with special requirements for neatly separating meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill.
Per Person: 25,00 € *
* The stone grill is also available as an extended combination with racletteand cheese.
Price per person: €30.00
