€€€Traditional Cuisine, Alpine
The history of this old inn stretches back to the 16C, and the Schatz family has run it with great dedication since 1985. The Tyrolean influence is evident both in the interior design and on the menu. Flavoursome traditional dishes prepared using excellent, mostly local produce are served in various cosy dining rooms. Among the dishes to try are the Tyrolean veal liver with a creamy caper sauce, wine soup with toasted white bread croutons, or the delectable spinach ravioli with melted butter and chives. And be sure to sample the wonderful Sachertorte. Friendly and adept service.

The family that run this restaurant occupying an old farmhouse with origins dating back to the 16C has a relationship with the region that goes back decades. In later years, the farm became an inn and it has now been run by the same family for five generations, all motivated by a desire to introduce their guests to the best local recipes and ingredients. Dishes include excellent fresh ravioli stuffed with cheese produced in the nearby valley and served (in summer) with tomato and basil sauce. An excellent wine list and the hotel’s warm and friendly ambience add to the appeal.
