SEVERIN*S – The Alpine Retreat
Kevin Szalai, the new Head Chef of the Severin*s – The Alpine Retreat in the heart of Lech, Austria, announces a brand-new, taste-tantalising winter menu…
Kevin Szalai is a young Austrian of just 25 years old but with a wealth of rich experience and a passion for local, mountain produce. His new menu is vibrant, modern and pan-Austrian, bringing a bright energy to the restaurant for the new season.
Typical dinners will be four to six courses and Szalai’s dishes are not only beautiful to look at but packed full of cutting-edge flavour combinations. Elegant, refined, and deliciously challenging, they include signature dishes like Deer & Moss – venison with beech mushrooms and stone pine – and Pulpo & Scallops, with beetroot, pea and carrot (both pictured above).
Other dishes include goose liver with a Brazil nut and caramel brioche, wagyu and prunier Oscietra caviar, white halibut and buttermilk, tartare of local grass-fed calf, praline of goat’s cheese, consomme with oxtail ravioli, pike perch confit and traditional Wiener Schnitzel. Desserts will include Kaiserschmarrn with mulled wine and plums and raisins, fine nougat dumplings with raspberry and rosehip and a selection of local cheeses with homemade chutneys and grape jellies.
The restaurant at Severin*s – The Alpine Retreat seats just thirty-eight in a warm, welcoming room where modern design meets tradition in the form of a tiled Austrian stube or chimney. Here, Salazai will cosset and fulfil his guests with a cutting-edge menu with fine local and Austrian ingredients at its heart.
