A winter table inspired by the horta

Our seasonal winter concept, an intimate, elegant table within the historic stone walls of the Convento, warmed by the fireplace and candlelight.

The season

Magnolia opens for the cold months, when the estate draws inward and the dining room glows. Within the monastery's stone walls, a fire lit and candles burning, it is a place for unhurried lunches and long winter dinners, the quiet luxury of a single, well-laid table.

The tree

Named for the magnolia at the door

The restaurant takes its name from the centuries-old magnolia tree just outside, a protected landmark that has witnessed the many chapters of the Convento's history. Its presence lends a sense of continuity and quiet grandeur to every meal beneath it.

A tree that has watched eight hundred years pass, still flowering each spring.
