Dies ist eine Übersetzung!…read more All years again at the beginning of June the GOURMET TRIP FESTIVAL takes place in Styria. On the 4th of June cooked Alex Theil from Mexico at the castle hotel Gabelhofen. We had an invitation for this unique dinner and immediately booked a night at the hotel. I had never visited the wonderful castle in village Fohnsdorf, Styria - seminar hotel, wedding castle, bonnet restaurant, hotel for good sensations and art castle-. Very well I liked the input area with the adoption and the lobby, the inner courtyard open once was roofed capably with steel and glass. In the back of the castle a modern part is only of glass, is an art gallery with varying exhibitions and serves as a restaurant in weddings. Here one has a dream look at the river "Pöls" and the delightfully Aichfeld. The argumentative Therme is to be seen towards nice. In our visit some pictures were issued by painters from the area and the tables were covered for a wedding taking place the next day, indeed, still without floral decoration. The garden of the castle is maintained very much and is a cafe beside the input area with at the moment very nicely blossoming rhododendrons. We had a rather easy however very spacious and quiet room for one night. But there is like I have seen wonderful rooms and even a wedding suite. The gourmet's dinner took place in the restaurant with nice vault inside of the castle. There were really very interesting put together 6 current menus, in each case 3 ways of Gastkoch Alex Theil and 3 ways of the fork court-chef Manfred Vogel, everything with wine company. In three ways from the shrimp Alex Theil Liquid from the asparagus with Vulcanoschinken Manfred Vogl Fillet of the wolf perch with Jicanna radish salad and sesame mole Alex Theil Duet of the Weizer lamb Manfred Vogl Achiote chicken with mushrooms, Kukuruz and polenta Alex Theil Sweet greetings from the Zirbenland Manfred Vogl It has tasted everything very well and to me particularly the delightfully spicy dishes of the cook from Mexico have tasted. He brought supposedly about 60 kg of spices with in Styria, not only for one evening, because on Saturday the gala dinner took place in Graz in the Congress and then there all 6 cooks from Dallas / USA, Palma de Mallorca/ Spain, Copenhagen Denmark, Palmilla/Mexico, Shanghai / China and Moscow / Russia.

The restaurant downstairs is delicious. The cheese dumpling soup is so good, and the whole fish is great too. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good enough for us to sit on the patio.

I can't rave enough about the wonderful staff at this hotel!!…read more We got an email before our stay informing us that there was going to be a Marathon taking place in the morning after our Saturday night stay. Our hotel, which was very close to the Old Town, would be off limits to vehicles until 4:00 p.m. We were only going to be there the one night, and would need to get on the road long before that time. The email said that the normal check-out time would be extended until then. But we were worried. We don't travel light, and had no idea where we'd park, since the garage wouldn't be a viable option. We imagined ourselves playing leapfrog with our luggage through the streets of Graz. That didn't happen. Instead, when we checked in we were told that we could park in the garage, or they would park it for us outside of the Marathon zone and retrieve it when we were ready to leave the next day. And to make up for the inconvenience, they comped the breakfast buffet for the next morning, which was excellent. Our room was wonderful - spacious and modern, as was the rest of the hotel. Everyone at the desk was so genuinely friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was only a stone's throw from the Old Town. The next morning one of the staff carried all our luggage to our car, which was parked a few blocks away in an outside space. And before we left, the young woman at the desk got me a cup of coffee to go! Augartenhotel is definitely as good as it gets!
