Tasty Lech Zürs!

All over the world Lech Zürs is known as an eldorado for skiers. But for globe-trotting epicures the winter sports destination also has a unique reputation – not least because of the density of award-winning restaurants that has earned it the award “World Gourmet Village”. In the restaurants the best chefs pamper guests using every trick in the cookbook. One secret many of them share is the use of the finest regional ingredients – and the reason why farmers, hoteliers, and gastronomers have founded the network “vo:do” (= Vorarlberg dialect for “from here”). Whether it’s international cuisine or regional delicacies or a fusion of both: Lech’s gastronomers all have impeccable taste. La Loupe got to take a peek into their pots.

Hotel Arlberg Lech

“The combination of sea, alps, and land may seem surprising at first but the elements complement each other to form a harmonic composition that is exemplary for our cuisine at Le Fenice. The fresh scallops are the Mediterranean component and with the local caviar and the savoury salsiccia it all comes together to form a special taste experience.” Patrick Tober | Chef de cuisine Hotel Arlberg Lech
