Ristorante Burje 1968 — Restaurant in Pustertal - Val Pusteria

Solid if a bit "safe" tasting menu cuisine with a couple misses along the way. This would be fine if the meal wasn't marred by largely cold and apathetic service delivered slowly.

I had the spaghettone with sea urchin/crab, the morone fish fillet with prawn sauce and the peach tarte tatin. All were cooked to perfection, artfully combining Italian ingredients with French techniques. The service was also top-notched: gentle, friendly but not intrusive.
