Krainer

Cuisine

“The Mürztal is a bountiful region for remarkable ingredients”, state Astrid and Andreas Krainer. This unbeatable culinary team works with high creative energy in the kitchen, inspired by the regional and always seasonal products they prefer. In the process, they are often open to ideas that transcend nationality, such as the tasteful symbiosis of Istrian olive oil with Styrian chocolate and Aussee natural crystal salt. Signature dishes include sautéed beef testicles with creamy celery and Johann ham, as well as Styrian pumpkinseed yeast dumplings – tradition and interpretation always inspiringly united!
