Castel Fragsburg: Fantastic Gourmet Restaurant

The road narrows into tight laces,

lined with vineyards, for your viewing pleasure! The restaurant’s charming Castel Fragsburg nestled atop a mountain, offers a panoramic on a bucolic landscape and the stonished Dolomites.

Simple, elegant and timeless, the atmosphere reminds me of the famous Dejeuner sur l’herbe of Renoir. I feel good, so I could spend hours on the terrace. With a good book under the shade of trees, lulled by a gentle breeze …

What choosing? A sparkling water followed by divine staters. Originality of tastes and textures and beautiful presentation. An unique mustard ice cream (picture 2). My plates look like paintings.

The presention is neat and airy,

with small proportions. I like the balance between solids and voids in a plate. The smiling staff is really professional, present without being intrusive. The main course is a succulent fish on a bed of black rice. Light and tasty.

More salty than sweet, I didn’t taste the desserts, but I like the concept of dark chocolate sticks with salty popcorn (picture 3). Very regressive!

I finish the meal with a great passion fruit tea (picture 4)! My gaze rests on a couch by the pool: now the farniente (or the “doing absolutely nothing” art) is calling me! Enjoy the break!

Many thanks for this beautiful invitation to Suedtirol and Lufthansa. And thanks to the chef Luis Haller and his great team too. As always these opinions are my own.

Castel Fragsburg: un superbe restaurant gastronomique

La route se resserre en étroits lacets 

bordés de vignes. Le restaurant gastronomique du petit hôtel de charme, Castel Fragsburg, niché au haut d’une montagne, offre une vue à 180° sur un paysage buccolique, sur fond de Dolomites.

Elégante et intemporelle, l’ambiance m’évoque le fameux Déjeuner sur l’herbe de Renoir. Je m’y sens bien, tellement que je pourrais rester des heures sur la terrasse. Bouquiner, buller à l’ombre des arbres, bercée par une légère brise…

Que choisir? Une eau pétillante suivie d’entrées, divinement agencées. Originalité des goûts et textures, beauté de la présentation. Inédite glace à la moutarde (photo 2). Comme l’impression d’avoir dans mon assiette des peintures à savourer par touches.

Composition soignée et aérée

et les portions sont petites. J’aime l’équilibre des vides dans une assiette. Le service est impeccable, souriant, convivial et très professionnel : présent sans être intrusif. Arrive le plat principal : un succulent poisson sur un lit de riz noir sauvage. Léger et goûteux.

Plus salée que sucrée, je n’ai pas goûté les desserts, mais le concept de bâtonnets au chocolat noir et pop corn salé me plait (photo 3). Complètement régressif! 

Assortis d’un thé aux fruits de la passion (photo 4), top! Mon regard se pose sur une chaise longue, près de la piscine : l’art du farniente m’appelle! Vive les vacances!

Un grand merci à Suedtirol et Lufthansa pour cette belle invitation. Et aussi au chef Luis Haller et à toute son équipe. Comme toujours ce sont mes opinions.

Vigilius Mountain Resort: A Room At The Top Of Mountain

The Room Is Spacious

No TV and very few fournitures as I like, almost monastic. After a very long day, between the airports, the road from Munich to Lana via Merano, the stunning scenery of the Adige valley and Dolomiti … and a private cable car to access the Vigilius Mountain Resort, a stylish ecolodge at 1500 meters altitude, surrounded by nature: finally I can sit and relaxe. 

Far from the world and crowds, I disconnect. No laptop (what a challenge!), nothing! From the huge window, the view is just breathtaking. High mountains covered with virgin forests. In the dark dawning, the air is fresh, pure and invigorating. I can spend hours here contemplative, but I have a dinner at 1500 Restaurant (beautifull view at breakfast).

The morning, around 6 a.m., my room is bathed in a soft red light, first rays of sunlight piercing clouds, the view is spectacular (pictures 5 and 1)! Difficult to get out of bed (spotless bedding), to join the spa and enjoy the pool at the opening.
