About BLDG
SUSTAINABLE DINING
In conjunction with Hotel Marcel, sustainability is at our core. Our menu combines locally sourced ingredients with sustainably sourced meats and poultry, creating artfully composed dishes. The beverage program includes a collection from regional distilleries and breweries, as well as a selection of sustainable, organic, and biodynamic wines.
BLDG is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. We look forward to serving you!
