We were the only guests and we had a great table in front of the window and we could admire the valley below. In the evenig, this is simply heart-breaking! Knodel in soup were simply great.

We arrived and, without any warm welcome, received the worst table, without a view. The female owner informed us about the food selection while her husband was sitting outside, eating a delivered Pizza out of the carton. The selection was small, very small, two different soups and two different main courses. We selected one soup with dumpling and one with barley as well as one main course with sausage and one with smokes meat. The taste of the two soups was both okay, pretty standard but my girlfriend got a little extra: a hair in her soup. The main courses were a complete joke, two thin slices of smokes meat and one sausage, together with a lot of sauerkraut and no other garnish. When we finished the plates were cleared and they started to clean the kitchen. While other guests received some attention we were just forgotten for about 20 minutes, until I asked for the bill (which also took a while since she was serving other guests dessert and her husband talking to a young guy). We didn't feel welcome at all, the complete service was without any emotion. Come, eat go. While we were eating we observed the hygiene in this restaurant and were shocked. The family arrives back to the kitchen from their Pizza dinner outside without washing their hand. Also the female owner between serving is cleaning tables, bringing out rubbish, and goes on serving without washing hands. Due to this observation we were skipping our dessert which we then had downtown Merano. Really, I can't understand all the reviews about this restaurant. Food is bad, portions are small, service is unfriendly and the hygiene basically not existing. During our 2.5 week trip through Europe this was by far the worst dinner we had.

A hidden treasure. Amazing views. Great local food. Highly recommended. read more A hidden treasure. Amazing views. Great local food. Highly recommended.

Typical Tyrolean cuisine, fully respecting tradition. I tasted an exceptional Grostl, excellently cooked. I haven't tasted it this good for more than 20 years..... read more Typical Tyrolean cuisine, fully respecting tradition. I tasted an exceptional Grostl, excellently cooked. I haven't tasted it this good for more than 20 years.... Martina also let us taste some excellent crescents filled with wild garlic and ricotta...... exceptional. We concluded with a sublime strudel.
