Regional and creative: Andreas Herbst for Wellhotel

The innovative young kitchen team around Andreas Herbst works in our Riederalm gourmet kitchen - quality and freshness are our top priority, so the food from the region is processed respectfully.

Carefully selected by local suppliers and farmers from Leogang, partly exclusively produced and gently prepared à la minute. Traditional dishes are reinterpreted and presented in a dreamlike way. Even unusual creations find their place with us and have been inspiring our guests for many years. Remembering to keep nature intact and excluding artificial flavours and flavour enhancers is another important principle in our kitchen philosophy. Tastefully delicious meat and fish dishes are one of the focal points of the gourmet workshop. Above all, our dynamic kitchen brigade around Andreas Herbst offers complete gourmet menus to marvel at, enjoy and celebrate.
