Ischgl – an Austrian ski village with a permanent population of just 1600 – has been awarded 13 new toques (the chef’s hat symbol awarded by gourmet organisations) across five restaurants in next year’s editions of Austria’s most influential guides of Gault Millau 2016 and Guide A La Carte 2016. This means that it is home to three of the six best-ranked Tirolean gourmet restaurants.
The five to receive the awards are Martin Sieberer, chef de cuisine at the Paznauner Stube in the 5* Hotel Trofana Royal; Benjamin Parth, chef de cuisine at Restaurant Stüva in the 4* Hotel Yscla; Restaurant MAD in the 4* Designhotel Madlein; Gunther Döbler from the Schlossherrnstube in the 4* superior Schlosshotel Romantica; and Klaus Brunmayer, chef de cuisine at the restaurant Lucy Wang.
“We think it’s great to be represented with five restaurants in Austria’s leading gourmet guides and we have managed to make the culinary theme an integral part of the services and attractions we offer to visitors,” said Alfons Parth, Chairman of the Paznaun-Ischgl Tourist Office. paznaun-ischgl.com
