The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Chef Johannes Nuding needs no introduction, having previously conjured up three-star cuisine at London's Sketch – The Lecture Room & Library. His clearly structured dishes showcase his talent for harmoniously combining ingredients, spices, textures and flavours. A shining example is his wonderfully tender char from the Passeier Valley (fantastic quality!) elegantly prepared with a hint of green curry, served with a rich, perfectly reduced beurre blanc and a sweet-and-sour marmalade of orange and grapefruit, as well as bitter salad leaves for a slightly tart finish. Given the quality of the six-course set menu (with an optional extra course), it's hard to believe they have a kitchen staff of just three! The lady of the house presides over the dining room with warmth and finesse. Located in a charming little street in the old town, this restaurant boasts a refined atmosphere, with modern and elegant furnishings laid out beneath a beautiful old wooden ceiling. The small bar area with a vaulted ceiling is also inviting, as is the walk-in wine cellar.

The most honored or signature ingredients at the Michelin-starred restaurant Schwarzer Adler in Hall in Tirol include:
Char from the Passeier Valley: This fish is noted for its fantastic quality and tenderness. It is elegantly prepared with a hint of green curry, showcasing the chef's skill in balancing flavors and textures. The dish is complemented by a rich, perfectly reduced beurre blanc and a sweet-and-sour marmalade of orange and grapefruit, finished with bitter salad leaves for a slightly tart contrast.
Green Curry: Used as a subtle flavor enhancer in the char dish, the green curry adds an aromatic and slightly spicy note that harmonizes with the fish and the citrus marmalade.
Beurre Blanc: A classic French butter sauce, here perfectly reduced to enrich the dish with creamy, tangy depth that pairs beautifully with the fish and citrus elements.
Sweet-and-Sour Marmalade of Orange and Grapefruit: This marmalade provides a bright, fruity contrast that balances the richness of the beurre blanc and the mildness of the char, adding complexity to the dish.
Bitter Salad Leaves: Used as a finishing touch to introduce a slightly tart and bitter flavor, enhancing the overall balance and freshness of the plate.
These ingredients reflect the restaurant's focus on high-quality regional produce combined with refined, contemporary European techniques and flavors, creating dishes that are both elegant and well-structured.
