Culinary delights & enjoyment

As cooking and eating are among our greatest passions, we offer you the perfect combination. In our kitchen, we blend Austrian classics with a touch of the Alpe-Adria region and culinary influences from our neighbouring countries, Italy and Slovenia.

When selecting our ingredients, we prioritise quality and, for selected products, work with producers and suppliers from Carinthia and the surrounding area. We also use specialities from the Alpe-Adria region, as well as fresh herbs and seasonal ingredients. And because homemade simply tastes better, our cakes and tarts are baked in our own in-house bakery.

We would like to show you where some of the ingredients used in our kitchen come from. To this end, we work with selected producers and suppliers:

• Potatoes: Michael Katschnig from St. Kanzian
• Sunflower and pumpkin seed oil: Erschenhof Naturprodukte / Robert Erschen from St. Stefan
• Bacon, ham and salami: Frierss meat and sausage specialities from Villach and Karnerta from Klagenfurt
• Fresh meat with a Carinthian guarantee of origin: Karnerta from Klagenfurt
• Olive oil cuvée: high-quality olive oil from the Kalcina region in Istria, Croatia
• Apple, pear, apple-carrot and apple-redcurrant juice at the buffet: Lagerhaus from Wolfsberg
• Latteria and Montasio: Coop. Agricoltori Valcanale-Ugovizza, cheese dairy in Ugovizza, Italy
• Goat’s cheese: Hofvielfalt Hanzmann from St. Kanzian and Jauntaler Ziegenhof (Uitz family) from Eberndorf
• Asparagus from April to June: Lavanttaler Spargelhof Sternath from Wolfsberg
• Pear balsamic vinegar, apple and pear vinegar: Zogglhof from St. Paul
• Carinthian lake trout and char: Johann Poganitsch Fish Farm from Grafenstein
• Carinthian honey: Czerniak Beekeeping from Klein St. Veit

Prepared with passion

Our kitchen team constantly reimagines classic dishes, giving them a light and modern twist. This approach to cooking reflects the style and personal atmosphere of our restaurant and is an expression of our hospitality.

A real treat for our youngest foodies – and, of course, for the grown-ups too: in our kitchen, we pride ourselves on using carefully selected ingredients and offering a varied range of dishes.

With our Sonnelino all-inclusive package, we’ll take you on a culinary journey throughout your holiday: it starts with our colourful breakfast buffet, followed by a hearty local dish at lunchtime, and in the afternoon, freshly baked cake or ice cream cones for the children. In the evening, round off the day with a multi-course meal. That’s what a holiday should taste like!

Your culinary journey through the day in detail:

• Substantial breakfast buffet with juice bar, selection of health foods and different delicacies each day
• Small lunch snack from the buffet or served individually
• In the evening, you have a choice of gourmet menus including a “vitality” menu
• Extensive salad buffet and selection of cheeses every day
• Varied soup and dessert buffets
• 1 x per week: culinary experience in the form of a themed buffet or gala dinner
• Baby gourmet corner: A range of products (e.g. jars of baby food, porridge etc.) for age-appropriate catering for your offspring
• Afternoon cake and ice-cream cones between 4 and 5 pm
• Generous selection of non-alcoholic drinks from the juice bar during mealtimes
• Supervised children’s table at lunchtime and in the evenings

In the low and off-season, meals are eaten (in part) at the Hotel & Spa Sonne.

Delicious meals for our youngest guests: a treat with every spoonful. In partnership with HiPP and the Original Kinderhotels Europa, we offer you a Sonnelino HiPP baby menu.

We provide fruit and vegetable purées in jars, as well as a variety of meals, milk-based purées and formula, teas and ‘Good Morning’ muesli – all tailored to your child’s age.

Children have their own tastes. That’s why our Sonnelino kitchen team will also prepare fresh fruit and vegetable purées on request. We use carefully selected ingredients for this.

If your child requires a very specific diet, for example due to an allergy, please bring this with you.
