Sono andata per una degustazione da 6 portare ed è stata una delle esperienze più belle che ho potuto fare. Il tema scelto dallo chef sulla leggerezza si trasmette non soltanto nelle portate ma anche nella nuova location. Ogni portata è ricercata e sensazionale. Tornerò molto volentieri.

Exzellente Kochkunst, wundervolle Präsentation der Gerichte. Der Koch verwendet ausschließlich lokale Produkte aus Südtirol, die außergewöhnlich intensiv im Geschmack sind. Das Personal ist perfekt geschult und zuvorkommend. Die Stube ist sehr klein mit 6 2er Tischen, die oft auch nur zur Hälfte belegt sind. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Sehr gutes Sternerestaurant in Welschnofen. Ausgezeichnetes Essen, hervorragender Service und sehr schönes südtiroler Ambiente. Die Weinbegleitung mit vor allem südtiroler Weinen ist auch hervorragend. Außerdem kommen fast alle Zutaten des Menüs aus der Region. Einen Besuch absolut wert!
