Staying across the road and we were looking for a dinner spot, reviews here seemed...a bit too good but we tried it. Absolutely justified reviews, what a fantastic meal. You can choose from 2 set menus or just pick items from the a la carte. Service was great and the food was outstanding, big selection of wine (with help to pick available).  Worth every penny (cent).

I was in this restaurant countless times in the last 20 years (honestly, I tried to count, it was impossible; way over 50 times). It is amazing that I never left without beint totally satisfied. The food here is everything I love, great taste, simple plates and very creative. It's super reachable as you only need 5 minutes from the motorway to reach Gufidaun. The rooms are also very nice as they just have been renovated. (Disclaimer: I know chef Thomas Haselwanter and his wife Cornelia Auer personally and call them very close friends.)
