A GOOD KITCHEN IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL HAPPINESS George Auguste Escoffier

Gruezi! Dear event organisers

From housekeeping and service, to our kitchen and reception, to banqueting and group business, we are wholeheartedly hosts.

The field, forest and meadow cuisine whipped up by our chef Roman Crkon is a real labour of love with great attention to detail, making it genuine, creative, light-hearted and extravagant. Awarded 15 Gault & Millau points, the kitchen is a feast for all the senses. Roman Crkon is a passionate cook, embodying all of these values and demonstrating huge respect for both people and nature. It is this combination of holistic thinking that makes the Hotel and Nature Resort Handeck so unique.

Our drinks and menu recommendations include a wide variety of delights for creating the perfect menu. On request, our chef will be happy to make a personal recommendation.

Our dedicated staff promise to indulge you with a good portion of charm and humour.

En Gööten!
