Zum Goldnen Adler - MALLES VENOSTA

Friends of ours told us about the Hotel „Zum Goldnen Adler“ in Schleis/Clusia in the Vinschgau region of South Tyrol. On a recent motorbike trip we went there and spend a great two days there. The room was spacious and clean with a balcony and made us feel at home. We had booked the half board, which is a breakfast from a buffet and a multi course dinner menu. The dinner was our first meal there. It was simply off the hook. The food was very tasty and the portions were adequate. The goal is not to overeat on one course, so the kitchen was pacing the patrons something I appreciated afterwards. We tasted the finest lamb ever, there was a pasta with a spinach pesto, a salad from a salad bar with a very fine choice of sauces and to me the grand finale was the desert. A heavenly homemade cold cream of espresso....oh my god, I could have died right there a pretty happy man. The breakfast buffet while very good, cannot be the same firework of taste and presentation, but it did not let us down either. Overall, I can only highly recommend staying at the Goldner Adler in Schleis. The area is great work hiking and biking and two villages down is Glurns, the home of Paul Flora a very famous sketcher, Cartoonist and ink artist, to who the village has dedicated a permanent exhibition....absolutely worth visiting. Towards the Reschenpass the top of The Valley is the Reschensee, a ,an made lake that sunk a village. The only thing sticking out is the church tower. It‘s a pretty cool site to visit at any time.

We visited this restaurant from Switzerland with my family including my small grand daughter. In a dark winter night it was not easy to find this place located outside Italian town of Malles. The food was fantastic and the service was friendly and professional. They were also very kind to the children. The chef here can obviously cook very well traditional and modern Italian specialties as well as South Tyrolean traditional food. I started with Speckknödelsuppe which was excellent, although I needed to wait for at least 15 minutes because the Knödel had to be prepared fresh. The main was the house made Tagliatelle in vegetables and veal sugo, which was also very good. We had a bottle of excellent local red wine “Lagrein Riserva Taber St. Magdalena Cantina”. We will definitely come to this restaurant again even though it takes 30 minutes by car from Switzerland.

Very good cuisine!!! Nice atmosphere and great wines at reasonable prices. Try it with no hesitation!

Greeted and seated by a female Member in a Dirndl. Food was very fresh and tasty... all local produce and meats... Spätzle, Blaukraut, deer meat, ginger carry soup— you won’t regret it! Desert was insane as well! Never had a better desert in my life! Apfelstrudel as well as ice cream w hot raspberry’s.

Time here, was perfect. Service very friendly and helpful. I would like to recommend this place for each other.
