Pampering culinary art, also vegan

ALPS-ADRIATIC CUISINE IN THE HOCHSCHOBER

With the start of the 2023 summer season, the culinary Hochschober program has delicious new things to offer. Each evening has a motto. The range extends from dishes from the Alps-Adriatic region to classics from Carinthia and Austria. Fine & healthy: In addition to the vegan line, there is now a vegetarian main course to choose from every day.

Since the end of May 2023, Arnold Pucher from Carinthia will be in charge of the kitchen at the Hotel Hochschober and will bring many new ideas with him. A few years ago, in his own company at Nassfeld, he quickly earned two Michelin stars and 18 Gault Millau points, or three toques according to the practice at the time. In recent years he has worked as a chef and culinary entrepreneur in Italy. Arnold Pucher enriches the culinary experience with dishes and flavors from Italy and the Alps-Adriatic region, complemented by fine foods from Austria and Asia. The Alps-Adriatic cuisine combines the culinary tradition and present from Carinthia and the neighboring regions of Friuli and Slovenia.

ENJOYABLE LUNCH

• Whether it's a classic or a vegan lunch dish: the chefs prepare both dishes freshly for you at the buffet. At the salad buffet you can choose from crunchy raw vegetable salads.

THE CULINARY JOURNEY IN THE EVENING

• Every evening there is something special or a motto. Fresh pasta plays the main role on Mondays, delicacies from Carinthia on Tuesdays, classics from Austria on Fridays and specialties from the Alps-Adriatic region on Saturdays. Let yourself be surprised!
• Wednesday's motto is "HOCHPLEUCH" at the sweet end. The dessert buffet is richly stocked with tempting delicacies from the Alps-Adriatic region.
• There is now a typical Italian aperitivo with Alps-Adriatic tapas on Thursdays (extra charge).
• Appetizer variations to share, originally prepared, delight on Sundays.
   
• The appetizer and salad buffet has a larger selection of antipasti such as grilled and marinated vegetables.
• For the main course you can choose a vegetarian dish in addition to meat, fish or vegan dishes.
• Mild and spicy cheeses from cheese and dairy specialist Sebastian Weissensteiner, commonly known as Vostl farmer, enrich the cheese buffet. Mr. Weissensteiner's farm is very close by, in Saureggen.
