Stafler In Campo di trens

06/10/2025: 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.

24/09/2025: 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!
