Hotel*** Gasthof Blaue Quelle

Settling in for a relaxed meal at the Blau Quelle is like slipping into your favorite slippers, pulling up a comfortable seat, and taking in the splendor of the Alps, while awaiting the best trout meal anywhere! Visiting the Quelle is a lot like "coming home." Our singing divas, both young and old, slipped into a companionable frame of mind while enjoying some of the Tyrol's finest food! Naturally, the forelle blau was perfectly cooked for all of us, and our famous guests were right at home in one of their special places:Austria. Slipping easily into the dialect, they ordered the specialties of the house, poached trout, with a bit of palatschinken as dessert, flambeed with their home made schnapps, apricot filling, etc. The beer and Gruner Veltlener, luscious white wine from the Wachau Valley and with the Quelle's own label now, made for an exciting meal, though super relaxed. Watching the actors coming in for a bite before one of the performances in the Opera Haus, our sopranos and mezzos reminisced about their love for Austria, its people, and especialling its music. From Bayreuth to Vienna, there was no finer place for them to dine than the Blau Quelle that day. Memories are made of this stuff. PS: Dear Struth Family, we shall return in December for your winter goodies! Can't wit to see you and dine with everyone, especially Tante Bergie. She always has that special welcome awaiting the Quelle's guests, and she can give you the best reviews of what to do in this glorious area.

If a restaurant deep in the woods tries to present a "worldwide" menue it can only go wrong. What exactly it did. Sashimi and sushi and other exotic dishes instead of simple but well prepared local dishes. When the aspirations far outpace the chef's capabilities you get this kind of food.We had breakfast, pre-opera snacks and dinner at the restaurant.The food presentation was at best "simple", the sashimi was 3 rather large pieces of Thuna lying somewhat lost on their plate. The roasted Blutwurst was ok but nothing to write home about and the Bratwurst with Kraut a total failure.The breakfast beacon was way to salty and fried to death.Unless you stay at the hotel and don't want to leave eat somewhere else.I have no idea how the positive reports here could evolve.By contrast, the Austrian wines served were really good and reasonably priced. And the service friendly and attentive.So, back to cooking school.

The food and wine were perfect. The staff is very friendly and they speak English. The fish was great and the Austrian white wine was a perfect combination.

Lovely spot on the edge of the countryside in this charming Tyrolian village: the service was attentive and gracious, the food good.
