Gostner Schwaige

This rustic mountain restaurant was such an awesome stop after an 8km hike in Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm). The food was amazing and also beautifully presented. Everything we had was locally sourced most from the farm we walked through to get to the restaurant! Such a great experience!

The staff was very friendly, kept checking in and also took time to explain the dishes. the food was delicious - the kaiserschmarrn (eggy pancake) was superb. Nice eggy texture, caramelized apricots, buttery. we would hike back just to eat it. 🤣 we also had the osso buco with polenta and herb and flower salad. Everything was delicious. The price is on the higher side, but I think it's justifiable as the ingredients are uncommon and high quality, and the food was executed and presented beautifully. It was a lovely meal and experience.

Food is incredibly delicious! Host was very nice and recommended us what to order. The mixed flower salad accompanied with their homemade sauces was something I never had before and it was very good. Meat was very tender and full of flavour. Cheese board was also very good. The best one for me was definitely the hay soup and their homemade yogurt. Definitely a great experience and I would return again. Best mountain food ever!! Grazie 🥰

The best meal we had in the Dolomites! The herb soup is unlike anything we’ve ever tasted before, so good. The homemade cheeses and ham were so delicious, and the torn pancake dessert was perfect. It rained so we sat inside for a late lunch. Our server was nice & attentive, and the chef checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking.

Extremely delicious 😋 food. Small portions where quality matters over quantity. The regional dishes are prepared with care and devotion. It's a must on the list of local restaurants, albeit a bit crowded during the season, and you need to stand in line outside. The prices are higher than the competition but it's definitely worth paying more.

This is one of our go-to places for a delicious lunch while skiing. It’s right on run 59. We love the golasch, spareribs and kaiser for dessert. They also make hay soup which has a following. Absolutely delicious. View is pretty good too.

We had a delicious lunch here. It was foggy so we wanted to dine inside. We got to sit in the small cabin, so cute. Service was speedy and friendly. The rosenspritz was so good. Light and refreshing. The charcuterie plate was delicious. The meats had a nice smoky flavor. I loved the honey and horseradish served with the cheese. The ravioli with cheese made in house was so tasty. Overall a cute place with a wonderful lunch.

Last year we spent the new year eve here and we had a great dinner. We came back again to try their “a la carte” menu. They don’t have the common dishes and everything is good. They also have barbecue. Don’t miss the kaiserschmarren!!

Hay soup. Think about that. Does not sound appetizing or even real. Well, hop the chair lift from Compatsch, at the top turn left and after a 30-minute meander along a view-spectacular trail, veer off to this "mountain hut" as the locals call these dining oases in the Dolomites. The setting, the building, the tables, the menu...everything is 100% alpine natural. Specialty of the house? No kidding...hay soup. Actually it is a secret recipe of herbs and spices served in bowl that you can eat.... literally. It's a bowl made of the local bread and it is DELICIOUS. There are many other food and beverage offerings to tempt and after an extra long hike, tranquilize happily. We were recommended to this place by the fine folks at Hotel Rosa Eco Alpine, about a five-minute walk from downtown Compatsch. Looking to hike and receive a genuinely unique culinary reward?
