Tasting Menu

At the Valea Verde Restaurant by Jonas Schäfer, our menu is thoughtfully designed to showcase the finest local produce available. We are sourcing ingredients from trusted suppliers and skilled artisan producers. During the peak seasons, we take advantage of our kitchen gardens and collaborate with small-scale farmers in the village to bring you outstanding fresh herbs and vegetables. Additionally, we take pleasure in foraging for the abundant wild mushrooms, greens, and truffles found in the surrounding wilderness. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we also preserve and pickle seasonal goods for use throughout the year.

Our culinary experience revolves around a daily changing, seven-course tasting menu, passionately paired with wines carefully chosen for each course. For those with specific dietary preferences, we always have vegetarian and vegan options available, alongside a selection of traditional local dishes. Below, you'll find an example of our enticing tasting menu:
