Ristorante Durnwald In Valle di casies

We came by chance during the week without a reservation. We were immediately greeted by a very kind waitress. An excellent dinner featuring local products. The cured meats were truly excellent, as were the spinach dumplings stuffed with cheese. But the game tagliatelle were the best I've ever had. The apple fritters were delicious, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The lemon and mint sorbet was a real treat. In short, if you're looking for a traditional Tyrolean dinner, definitely stop by Durnwald. The restaurant is also mentioned in the 2026 Michelin Guide.

My family and I came to this restaurant almost by chance, as it was close to the house where we were staying for a weekend. We were surprised to discover that it's listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, so our expectations were very high... and after dinner, we can say they were far exceeded. You immediately sense that this is a family-run restaurant, where passion and care for their work are genuine. The cuisine manages to combine high-quality ingredients with the abundance and warmth typical of a traditional osteria. The service began with a small tasting on the house: veal with tuna sauce accompanied by a salad, truly rich in flavor. Next, we tried the venison goulash with polenta, red cabbage, and mushrooms: intense yet perfectly balanced flavors. The egg tagliatelle with venison and mushroom ragù was exceptional, with all the authentic flavor of the game and fresh, flavorful mushrooms, not at all watery. The spinach dumplings on a sheet of mountain cheese are also excellent, a dish that truly embodies the local tradition. To conclude, the apple fritters with vanilla ice cream: a true delight for the palate. The prices are absolutely fair and commensurate with the quality of the dishes and the experience. We highly recommend it: a true South Tyrolean gem.

Everything was great, I can highly recommend it!

As I said a few years ago, this restaurant, which I've been frequenting every summer since 1995, is excellent in every way. Food. Cleanliness. Courtesy, and prices. 🤩😋😋😋💯🤗

Update 2026: Just look at the pictures! Reservations are mandatory on Valentine's Day: 2025 As we have for many years, we went to Durnwalder for Valentine's Day. They have a special menu for it. In short: Outstanding quality, outstanding taste, outstanding presentation, and a super fair price. Together with the wine pairing, it was another fantastic evening this year!

Food and service were excellent.

Excellent restaurant, wonderful view, impeccable service, delicious flavors that delight the palate—a true gem. I highly recommend it. We ordered a set menu for two, and they very kindly accepted it and not only that, they divided the dishes for us and even gave us a complimentary plate. Customer service: TOP-NOTCH

Such a great spot to grab a bite after exploring Lago di Braies! The views around are amazing, and the place itself feels super cozy and chilled. The food hits the spot after a long walk by the lake, and make sure to get a glass of wine — it just makes everything even better!

An excellent restaurant serving South Tyrolean cuisine with delicious variations and customizations. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, featuring a traditional stube (traditional wood-panelled dining room). The wood-paneled ceilings are also beautiful. The staff is friendly and attentive, always available. I personally opted for the fish menu (freshwater, of course), featuring trout mousse and grilled pike, with delicious sides of crostini, spinach, and potatoes. My companion opted for the meat option, with veal head and saddle of venison. Everything was truly excellent. The prices are in line with the quality of the ingredients and the preparation of the dishes.
