Rifugio Halslhütte — Restaurant in Eisacktal - Valle Isarco

This was the first place we chose to eat at the beginning of our trip. The location is nice, but this is the only good thing. The staff absolutely refused to speak other language than German, we didn't understand a word. We just opened the menu's and after less than 1 minute the lady came to take our orders. We said that we are not ready, but she continued speaking German like she was not glad about that and like she was arguing. Later, 5-10 minutes after we have finally ordered other man from the staff started coming out and going from table to table to bring different plates, but not knowing which table were for. He came to us like 3 times , but with other orders, not ours. When we finally received our food, we weren't very happy from the taste and the worst part was that we found a piece of kitchen stainless steel wire in our potatoes. We showed it to the German lady from the staff and we heard "Oh, sorry", like she suddenly started understanding and speaking English. Unfortunately we couldn't take a photo of it, because she took it from my hand while showing it. And that was all, nothing for compensation, we got less change indeed. Very bad food start of our Dolomites...

Lovely first stop on our Av2 hike , good alternative to Plose that is currently closed if not a bit further. Rooms are basic but nice and shared showers / toilets are clean and work very well. The food was of good standard for a rifugio but is not included in price as it is in...

What a lovely place! We were on the way back from Peitlerkofel and luckily, this place was still open. You walk inside and it’s warm, you feel welcome, service is fast and super friendly and food is delicious! We had Wiener Schnitzel and Gerstenrisotto, very good! Real fresh...
