Ristorante Zur Blauen Traube In Lagundo

The ambiance and taste are simply outstanding. However, the portion sizes are very small, even for haute cuisine. The South Tyrolean down-to-earthness, which is emphasized throughout, might even give you hope that you'll be satisfied, even on a rather expensive evening.

We enjoyed lunch twice, on the terrace and inside. The quality of the food is amazing and the staff very friendly. For lunch, the atmosphere is quite relaxed and it is especially lovely to sit outside

Unfortunately, this was a disappointment for us in South Tyrol, a region rich in culinary delights. 1. The first course arrived BEFORE the first drink! We were very punctual, as the chef had requested, so it couldn't have been our fault. He asked us three times (!) which sparkling wine we wanted as an aperitif. It can happen that you forget it on the way out, but then the chef simply has to realize that we haven't had anything to drink yet before he starts on the first course for everyone. 2. The risotto (€19 extra) was recommended to us as a signature dish, but we declined, thinking it might be too much for us. The chef then came back and quite emphatically recommended the risotto, so we almost felt compelled to order it for his sake, at least to share. In retrospect, it was a good idea to fill us up; it tasted very good, although it was no longer creamy, but had already started to thicken slightly. So it wasn't freshly prepared, but was probably already prepared in a bowl and kept warm. You can do it that way, but you can also do it better. 3. The roast chicken broth was delicious and made you want more. Unfortunately, the following courses up to dessert couldn't quite match the quality. The chicken skin on the crème brûlée was barely noticeable, compared to the fish underneath. The venison stroganoff was quite good, but the sauce was rather poor in flavor, lacking depth, acidity, and complexity. It felt like the sauce was thickened with starch, but that could be done differently, especially at the level the chef is obviously aiming for. 4. They should reconsider whether serving most of the savory courses in bowls is really such a great idea. If they stick with this, spoons should be provided in the future so you can get everything out. 5. The team obviously tried to serve all the courses quickly; by the end, you had the feeling they wanted to move as quickly as possible. Maybe that was just our feeling. We went to the Blaue Traube with friends a few years ago, before the "concept" for evening meals had yet to emerge, and we were very impressed; it stayed with us for a long time. Unfortunately, the food didn't impress us this time; there are plenty of better restaurants in the region.

A very nice restaurant with a pleasant ambiance and excellent service. The food is excellently prepared and tastes of a high standard. A clear recommendation for anyone looking for truly good food in Algund or while traveling through South Tyrol.

Very good and very good service! We ate there two days in a row during our short vacation because we enjoyed the food so much! Our vegetarian requests were also accommodated easily and very friendly. ☺️ Highly recommended!

My partner and I spent a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable evening with fantastic service and food. What an experience! Every single course, which had been very interestingly announced beforehand, tasted absolutely delicious. Very personable and authentic. The portions were just right, and the price was right – good craftsmanship and quality come at a price. Highly recommended!

Simply WOW! It was a fantastic evening with delicious and very creative food, a pleasant atmosphere, and a very friendly and professional team. Thank you, Christoph, for the fantastic evening. We'd love to come back.

Spectacular Michelin-starred restaurant! We're back for dinner at the Blaue Traube. A warm, personal welcome. The menu is sensational. The first course, "roast chicken like at a village festival," is an extract of flavors that triggers an explosion of taste buds. This is followed by a firework display of regional highlights with a superb presentation. The day-aged char is juicy and full of flavor. Be sure to order the risotto carbonara; there's no better one. It continues like this, course after course. Finish with a fine tarte tatin, which you savor down to the last crumb. A sommelier, after a few words, presents a perfect, fantastic red wine from the extensive wine cellar that perfectly matches our taste. Excellent, in-depth knowledge of the wines; we've rarely experienced such competent wine advice. A restaurant that we highly recommend, presenting itself at Michelin-starred level.

Particularly recommended restaurant. Spectacular preparation of predominantly regional ingredients. The taste is outstanding, the ambience is very pleasant, authentically relaxing. The presentation of the menu was exceptionally original. We went to dinner several times, every time absolutely top class.

The evening menu is absolutely amazing. Every course is a real firework for the palate. Hats off, guys.
