Hearty and delicious – The Allgäu cuisine

What has been served for many generations in the Tannheimer Valley is a hearty and tasty Alpine cuisine. The basic ingredients have always been: fresh milk, cheese, flour, and eggs. The farm women made tasty pasta dishes from these, first and foremost the "Kasspatzen," Allgäu cheese spaetzle. These are prepared with lean raw milk cheese. Other delicious variations include spinach and sauerkraut spaetzle as well as sauerkraut pastries. A version with a high potato content is the Schupfnudel – often fried and served with sauerkraut. In the cool mountain climate of the Alps, warm soups are also very popular on the menus of restaurants. Try the roast dumpling soup with boiled sausage or Flädle soup with pancake strips. The original cuisine was a poor-people’s cuisine. Meat was only served on special occasions. However, the meadows and forests of the region offer excellent beef and game. In the vicinity of your holiday home, inexpensive holiday apartment, or stylish chalet, some top chefs have taken it upon themselves to refine the regional specialties. The fact that good meat comes from happy cows can be experienced every spring and autumn at the Almabtrieb (Alpine cattle drive). At these "major events," things are lively in all villages. Traditionally, the Tyroleans drink a spicy beer with their meal – naturally from the s´Höf Bräuhaus in Tannheim. Here, in a cozy atmosphere, you can enjoy the local beer specialties with a snack or traditional dish.
