Bib Gourmand 2

Schwanen

Bib Gourmand€€Regional Cuisine

Organic is the watchword here, from the mindfully sourced produce used in the kitchen to the furnishings chosen for the restaurant and hotel of the same name – the latter were crafted by local artisans from untreated natural materials. Many of the ingredients are grown in the on-site garden; fermented and pickled foods are also used. The menu tempts diners with options such as medium-rare flank steak of Schönenbach venison with creamy sweet potato. The plant-based options, such as the hand-made gnocchi with colewort and Vetterhof beetroot, are well worth trying. Fans of organic or natural wine

Gasthof Adler

Bib Gourmand€€Austrian

Here, the cooking has been taken back to basics, with the focus placed squarely on the first-rate regional produce.

Warm wood panelling from floor to ceiling makes for a cosy interior. There are also smart guest room

Gasthof Adler in Schwarzenberg holds an average rating of 4.2/5.

Hirschen

€€Regional Cuisine

The mindful concept shines through in Jonathan and Raphaela Burger's cuisine. Ingredients are sourced in the region, the fruit and vegetables are predominantly organic or grown by neighbouring farmers, and a nose-to-tail approach is applied to all produce. The latter philosophy is evident, for example, in a dish of grilled chicken hearts, pumpkin and Schupfnudeln (finger-shaped potato dumplings). They also enjoy cooking vegetarian fare, especially in winter when in-house fermentation plays a major role – for example, their "Vetterhof radish³, gochugaru, miso stock". The setting is gorgeous: au
