Our 2 toque-awarded restaurant
Fine dining.
Authentic. Local.
The restaurant is the heart of the Hotel Grünerhof. Its deep connection to nature is evident not only on the plate, but also in the atmosphere. For Maximilian, cooking means respecting nature, valuing its produce and using its resources thoughtfully.
In our NATURküche, regional and sustainable produce meets modern, creative cuisine. The result is a fine-dining experience that is sophisticated yet completely relaxed – with warm service, a personal atmosphere and plenty of space to savour the moment.
A place where you can sit back, unwind and experience the special blend of nature, culinary delights and Tyrolean hospitality.
Seasonal, regional and
full of passion
Maximilian Grüner
Having grown up in the ‘remotest corner of Gurgl’, Maximilian Grüner is a true Ötztal native and a real nature lover. His connection to his homeland also shapes his cuisine: regional produce, clean flavours and a deep respect for what nature has to offer.
Following his apprenticeship at the Gasthof Gemse under Seppl Haueis, Maximilian gained experience in top-class international gastronomy in Denmark and France, including at the renowned Auberge de l’Ill.
Today, as junior chef and head chef at the Grünerhof, he combines Alpine produce with modern techniques. He puts a new spin on traditional Tyrolean dishes, creating a modern, down-to-earth cuisine with his own personal touch.
Awarded 2 toques by Gault&Millau and a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide.
