“We know our guests’ expectations are high, but we believe that by the simple elegance of our dishes and the exceptional team spirit of our kitchen and service staff, who pour their passion into each of our dishes, we can exceed them by far”, says Jantscher. Many awards and accolades are a testimony to his approach, inspiring the Tannenhof team to constantly improve and continue to impress their guests with innovation and excellence.

04 – How do you develop new dishes and menus? Where do the ideas come from?

„Austria and the Arlberg region are a culinary treasure trove. The animals from the best and most honest cattle farmers and venison from the region can be found on the menu, as well as specialities from my own breeding: pigeons, pheasants, chickens, rabbits, snails etc. Seasonal offers are very important, as well as products from neighbouring alpine regions, so that our guests can experience a variety at any time.“

05 – What is the human element of your Gourmet Cuisine?

„The upscale cuisine is not for egomaniacs, it is more like a team sport. Every team member in the kitchen as well as in the service gives their best and a respectful interaction with each other is essential for success. The time of giving strict commands in the kitchen are over. Today, it is more important than ever that the spirit in the kitchen and service team is harmonious. Moreover it is also essential to build a good network with the best producers and to inspire and promote them for even better and, if possible even new products.“
