A passion for culinary pleasure

The highest passion for honest enjoyment characterizes the cuisine at Naturhotel Forsthofgut. The basis for this is the best quality ingredients, which we prefer to source from regional partners. This gives rise to our three varieties of cuisine, which we serve daily as ForsthofgutCUISINE: It tastes of the best from the seven Alpine countries, is vegan, or consistently local. Our three à la carte restaurants in the hotel are also unconditionally dedicated to culinary indulgence.

ForsthofgutCUISINE

Our kitchen philosophy at the Forsthofgut Gourmet Hotel in Austria focuses on conscious reduction, coupled with the highest quality. For this purpose, we have created three varieties of cuisine, all of which promise culinary moments of indulgence: alpine-mediterranean, vegan, or consistently regional in accordance with the R50 seal. Each and every day, you can choose which exquisite dishes you would like to try as part of the ForsthofgutCUISINE.

Neighborly love

Alpine-Mediterranean

Seven countries, one connection: The Alps. Our alpine mediterranean variety of the ForsthofgutCUISINE brings you the most delicious blends from Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, and Austria.

Regional love

R50

For us, regional really means regional: we insist upon it. Our products for the regional R50 dishes come from no more than 50 kilometers away and are labeled with our own R50 seal, many even come from our own farm.

We love green

Vegan

The ForsthofgutCUISINE consciously focuses on vegan dishes: We love green! But no matter what color, our vegan dishes are always exciting and varied. That's our motto. We rely on fresh, regional products and creative methods of preparation. Enjoy our vegan cuisine from breakfast to dinner.

You can feel this at the Forsthofgut: fair trade, a relationship of trust with our partners, and a focus on organic farming play an important role. Our responsibility is not only reflected in the origin of the food, but also in the packaging-free buffet area.

"Great hotel - excellent sauna / spa / indoor pool an outdoor lake, small gym, amazing breakfast buffet (the best in the whole of Austria, they say - and I haven't found a better one so far) with 20+ different kinds of bread, fresh egg delicacies, and everything you want in a breakfast. Amazing cakes in the afternoons, terrific dinners. Everyone is very accommodating and friendly. Lovely rooms. Great service (bike rental etc.), very close to the mountains, so you can start hiking from the hotel door."

"The "seafood night" was literally the best buffer I've ever had, even better than in Maldives or Mauritius. I don't know how you managed to do it but it was absolutely splendid, both visually and very tasty. Well done!"
