Castel fine dining

Situated within the exclusive Castel hotel, this restaurant occupies a curve-shaped, contemporary-style dining room with just a few tables arranged in front of floor-to-ceiling windows. Through these, guests can enjoy stunning views of Merano, the valley and the Alpine peaks in the distance, as well as Val Venosta stretching out between the mountains to the right. The dishes served here are restricted in number and are presented on just one tasting menu which is also available in a shorter version. The attention to detail that chef Gerhard Wieser brings to his cuisine is almost fanatical: his dishes are precise, technical, sophisticated and beautifully presented, featuring local ingredients such as char and trout from nearby fish farms, as well as Wagyu beef from the Alto Adige. Top-quality ingredients from further afield are also included, such as foie gras (which always make an appearance even if only as an appetiser), scampi and caviar, while the best wine option is to go for the pairing recommended by the excellent female sommelier. Professional service completes the picture, adding to what is sure to be a fine dining experience.
