Food & Drinks
Adler’s restaurant is helmed by Helene Markart, a talented chef of the region who inherited the passion for cooking from her grandmother. It’s no surprise that Tyrolean delicacies feature highly on the menu, with tradition as the key ingredient of each dish. Chef Markart also prepares a number of Mediterranean and international dishes, making use of what’s seasonal and local, from home-smoked bacon to eggs sourced from the farmer next door.
Her dishes are beautifully plated and accompanied by a great selection of South Tyrolean and international blends from the restaurant’s own cellar. On Fridays it’s fine dining by candlelight here, while Tyrolean nights with local specialties and music occur every Tuesday. For drinks, there’s an intimate bar and fireplace room with a great selection of classic wines and gins. Every Sunday evening, an aperitivo with finger food is offered to guests.
In the morning, the breakfast buffet comprises a local fare of homemade pastries, fresh juices, local eggs, fruit preserves and South Tyrolean cheeses.
