In the gourmet region of South Tyrol, numerous top chefs have been awarded toques from the renowned Gault&Millau gourmet guide.
Alongside the Michelin stars, the Gault-Millau chef's hats, also known as toques, are among the most coveted awards in haute cuisine. Once a year, the renowned restaurant guide Gault&Millau publishes its ‘Genussguide Südtirol’ (Culinary Guide to South Tyrol) and awards prizes to our best restaurants. Who will be featured in it? Chefs who use local products, creatively interpret our local cuisine culture and develop it further in an innovative way. Chefs like Gerhard Wieser, who focuses on natural, Alpine-Mediterranean cuisine at Castel finedining (formerly Trenkerstube) in Dorf Tirol/Tirolo. The same goes for top chef Norbert Niederkofler, who was in charge of the kitchen at St.Hubertus located at the Hotel Rosa Alpina in San Ćiascian/San Cassiano. In accordance with his kitchen philosophy “Cook the Mountain”, he combines regional raw materials and food from the mountains to create innovative dishes.
