Ristorante Zur Blauen Traube In Lagundo

We ate at the Blaue Traube restaurant in Algund and were very satisfied. The food was excellent, freshly prepared, and tasted fantastic. The service was also friendly, attentive, and quick. You immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere is pleasant and cozy. Overall, a great restaurant that we would definitely recommend and would gladly visit again.

We visited the Blaue Traube at the beginning of January – and honestly: it was the best meal we've had in a long time. The taste was top-notch, perfectly balanced, and simply delicious. Highly recommended!

A clear culinary style, high-quality products, and precise execution. Top quality at a consistently high level. I dined there for both lunch (à la carte) and dinner (set menu) and have rarely eaten so well. The service is very friendly and professional. I find it incomprehensible that this restaurant doesn't yet have a Michelin star.

Top. A wonderful journey through traditional flavors, revisited and adapted.

Everything is simply perfect!!!

A beautiful inn in true South Tyrolean style, offering high-quality cuisine, especially the wonderful apple tarte tatin with ice cream. It's a shame we weren't able to try some of the traditional dishes on the dinner menu. We'll definitely be back.

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

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.

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.
