Alpine-Adriatic cuisine: a combination of different cultures


Delicious food and drinks are an essential part of Falkensteiner’s holiday philosophy. Our Alpine-Adriatic cuisine offers an exciting mix of influences from various cultures and lifestyles: a combination of a fiery southern temperament and unpretentious Alpine ingredients, of lamb and fish, of Mediterranean pasta and South Tyrolean dumpling soup. You can expect to find anything from prosciutto with melon to venison loin cooked to perfection – browned on the outside and pink on the inside – and served with elderberry sauce.

A good meal says more than a thousand words, but it is impossible to describe outstanding cuisine no matter how many words you use! Seasonal ingredients fresh from the local markets of the Alpine-Adriatic region create a clear, pure taste experience, and the refined recipes used in Falkensteiner’s kitchens will leave your mouth watering.

The origin of Alpine-Adriatic cuisine

Alpine-Adriatic cuisine has its roots in the simple cuisine of this region, which extends through a number of countries. You could also describe it as poor man’s cuisine, because it was mainly created using products from people’s own farms and gardens that stay fresh for a long time. For instance, smoked ham or dried tomatoes combined with aromatic herbs.
 
At the heart of Alpine-Adriatic cuisine is the flexible, practical adaptation of dishes based on the four seasons, which results in an amazingly fresh, original taste. Alpine-Adriatic cuisine reflects the lifestyle – the rich diversity of the sea and the mountains – as well as the zest for life and the creativity of the people who live in this region.
 
Our chefs have taken traditional regional dishes as their inspiration and created a fantastic mix of traditional and modern cuisine.
