South Tyrolean cuisine

In Merano and Environs, the culinary traditions of Central Europe are enhanced with natural products produced by mountain farmers and a touch of the Mediterranean art of elegance. Italian culinary tradition is part of everyday life in South Tyrol, as are rustic Tyrolean dishes and traditional pastries.

South Tyrol is home to an unusual concentration of award-winning restaurants; these represent only the tip of the iceberg, though, of the many great restaurants in the region. Both the scope and the high quality of the taverns and traditional Stuben dining parlours will satisfy the palates of even the most discerning gourmets.

Star Cuisine and Top Wines
The Michelin and Gault Millau gourmet guides have recently awarded South Tyrol with 22 stars and 125 (chef) hats. South Tyrol has thus become the Italian province with the highest density of top restaurants - and this in a country so renowned for its gastronomy! If that weren’t enough, South Tyrol has gained recognition in recent years as the Italian region with the highest density of quality wines.
