The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The Classical building of the Chateau de Frontiere, which cuts a fine, stately figure, is named after the erstwhile Austria-Morovia border. High vaulted ceilings supported by columns and sleek design create a picture of elegance, in keeping with the stylish location. Large arched windows afford a view onto the property's gardens. The set menu showcases precise modern creations made with regional and seasonal ingredients – they even grow their own vegetables. Good examples of dishes are grasscarp, bacon, thyme or lentil, nduja, celery. To accompany the food, they have excellent wines to recommend, often from great local winemakers, especially from the Morovia region.
