Regional cuisine at the Hotel Landsitz Pichlschloss

Healthy eating and dining featuring regional produce at a hotel in Styria

During your holiday at Pichlschloss, the tranquillity of Upper Styria is combined with cuisine that energises and nourishes the body. Nestled in the heart of the Naturpark Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen, guests will find a farm-to-table hotel that prides itself on honest, wholesome food. Hostess Katrin Heindl brings her expertise as a dietitian directly to the menu. Here, with every meal, you know exactly where the ingredients come from and how they were grown.

Local produce and agriculture at the hotel in Styria

The cuisine at Pichlschloss is closely linked to the estate’s own farming and the Murau region. Cattle and sheep graze on the pastures surrounding the building, guaranteeing meat of the highest quality. Trout swim in the castle pond’s clear spring water and are often served freshly caught and hot-smoked. During your holiday in Styria, you can enjoy freshly laid breakfast eggs from the colourful Pichlschloss chickens. Herbs and lettuces grow in the raised beds in the garden and are used directly in the kitchen without having to travel far.

The breakfast buffet featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients

The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet that reflects the diversity of our own farm produce. Alongside fresh eggs from our own chickens, guests can enjoy a selection of cheeses from the Pichlschloss dairy, as well as yoghurt and wholemeal products from organic farmers in the Styrian Nature Park. Homemade spreads, freshly cut fruit salad and fragrant farmhouse bread provide the perfect foundation for an energising start to your day, whilst we also cater individually for gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan and vegetarian requirements.

Vegetarian lunch and afternoon tea in the park

At lunchtime, the hotel offers a light meal in the form of a vegetarian lunch menu. You can choose from a variety of soups, fresh salads or small dishes that are easy on the stomach. In fine weather, afternoon tea is often served in the spacious park. Enjoy a cup of coffee and freshly baked pastries, prepared daily using traditional family recipes without any baking additives. 

4-course evening menu

The evening menu is the culinary highlight, offering a choice between traditional Austrian cuisine and a vegetarian or vegan menu.
