Reviewers consistently praise Förena for high quality ingredients, beautiful plating, and a calm spa like setting that enhances the meal experience. The food is described as delicious and inventive with generous portions and several standout dishes such as seafood, beef, and pasta options; many note exceptional flavors and refined presentation. The atmosphere and service are often highlighted as warm, attentive and professional, though a number of visits report slower service, occasional mixups, and longer wait times especially during busier hours. Some guests feel the prices are high relative to lunch size or midweek menus and suggest a broader gluten free or non gluten options, more seasonal changes, or lighter quicker options for spa days. Overall most reviews describe a memorable premium dining experience that many would repeat, while a minority feel the value does not always match the cost or the menu variety could be expanded.
I believe the menu is not what people expect. The plates are not conventional. We had a hard time choosing. We had we & most of the guests ate more bread than their meals. A more conventional menu will bring more people to the restaurant.

What's not to love! An amazing supper outside at a spa sitting in your robe ;) . The food was great we had scallops & the new guinea fowl, also the orzo which was nice, but the fowl was fantastic. Service was great . Yes, it's pricey, but not more than a fancy restaurant. Enjoy!
"En général, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre expérience au restaurant. Le plat "Tartare au saumon" était tout simplement excellent, avec une explosion de saveurs en bouche. Cependant, le plat principal VG "Orzo & épinards" nous a un peu déçus. Il manquait grandement de goût & aurait pu être rehaussé en saveur & en texture. Peut-être en ajoutant des tomates séchées, des poivrons de différentes couleurs ou d'autres épices, il aurait pu être plus savoureux. Malgré cela, le service était impeccable, ce qui a contribué à rendre notre expérience agréable."
Le service était extraordinaire, la serveuse était particulièrement sympathique, professionnelle & attentive à nos besoins, on a eu un service 5 étoiles !
Très bonne expérience au restaurant du Forena! Charlotte nous a donné un super service. Les assiettes sont belles & plutôt copieuses pour un spa. Le décor est très beau. Allez y sans hésiter!
Bonne nourriture santé & de qualité pour se sentir bien dans les bains, rien de gras, lourd ou trop salé bien exécuté, seulement pas fan du dessert , le choux à la fraise n'est pas exceptionnel ni incroyable & vraiment trop chers pour ce que c'est , sinon le reste est top & le prix en corrélation.
