Every culinary moment of pleasure at the Hotel Kiendl is the result of the interaction between the creativity of our kitchen team and the ingredients that surround our region. Our Italian kitchen team under the direction of our head chef Antonio Iervolino prepares an alpine-Mediterranean gourmet menu for you every day using fresh, high-quality South Tyrolean products.
End the day by candlelight with beautiful memories.

Enjoy your breakfast and evening meal accompanied by the twittering of birds and the sound of water. Mediterranean plants, flowers, and blossomsin front of the scenery of our apple orchards and new vineyard, and a centuries-old chestnut treesurround the delightful locations at Kiendl.
For us, good food begins long before a dish reaches the table. That is why, wherever possible, we work with fresh, seasonal and regional products and consciously avoid convenience foods and ready-made products.
Many of our ingredients come from South Tyrol, including products from local producers and businesses such as Roter Hahn, Mila, the dairies in Merano and Sterzing, the Algund dairy and Kammerer. We also stay true to our region when it comes to wine: our wine selection features exclusively South Tyrolean wines.
One dish that particularly represents our cuisine is our homemade South Tyrolean Schlutzkrapfen. They combine exactly what matters to us: regional cuisine, genuine craftsmanship and an authentic taste of South Tyrol.
Various types of bread from South Tyrolean master bakers, hearty homemade jams, cheese, speck and ham from local dairies and farms. Fragrant coffee and tea, cereals, muesli and fresh fruit as well as egg dishes prepared à la minute on request.
At breakfast, too, we focus on regional products and freshly prepared dishes. Alongside a selection of products from South Tyrol, we offer an à la carte selection of freshly prepared egg and grain-based dishes.
This allows you to start your holiday morning at your own pace – whether before a hike around Schenna and Merano 2000 or with a leisurely breakfast followed by a relaxing morning at the pool.
In the evening we treat you to a four-course menu with freshly prepared, home-made dishes. Every soup, every sauce, every broth, every spread is freshly prepared by our chefs, as are all our dishes, without using ready-made products. Ingredients are locally sourced whenever possible. Herbs and fruit come seasonally from our garden.
We produce our our pasta. Natural ingredients are used to produce homemade pasta in all variations: tagliolini, spaghetti, conchiglie, maltagliati, fusilli, maccheroni... All ravioli and fillings are home-made, as are the typical South Tyrolean ‘Schlutzkrapfen’.
