FARM TO TABLE

Our Kitchen 

We cook with "San Genesio Locale – Farm to Hotel Connection," a joint pilot project that connects agriculture and local producers with the hotel industry. We talk seasons, exchange ideas, and create together. They master their craft, we master ours—and that is where true authenticity is born.

 

This is made possible by working as a team, a philosophy shared by our South Tyrolean head chef, Christian Reiterer. Together with pastry chef Michael Platter from San Genesio (Jenesien), Benedetto Sicolo from Apulia, and Ignazio Vigneri from Sicily, an ensemble of diverse influences comes together. They listen to what the season offers, utilize what local producers supply, and combine elements that naturally belong together.

 

The result is a vibrant South Tyrolean cuisine infused with Mediterranean lightness. Seasonally inspired, flavorful, rooted in Italian tradition, and open to new influences. It is a style of cooking that effortlessly blends diversity, enjoyment, and a conscious approach to food—a culinary culture recognized by UNESCO in 2025 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

What restaurant does Hotel Belvedere have?

The restaurant at the 5-star Hotel Belvedere is called “Friedas” and follows a farm-to-table philosophy: vibrant South Tyrolean cuisine with Mediterranean lightness, cooked with whatever San Genesio’s farmers and producers deliver each season. The head chef is Christian Reiterer; pastry chef Michael Platter is a native of San Genesio.

Where does the restaurant “Friedas” get its name?

Hotel Belvedere’s restaurant is named after Frieda, the family’s grandmother. She acquired the hotel in San Genesio and laid the foundation for today’s family-run 5-star hotel. Her name stands for the hospitality and honest, down-to-earth cooking that still define the Belvedere today.

Is there a tasting menu?

Yes. On request, Hotel Belvedere serves a tasting menu made with regional, seasonal ingredients, in a classic or vegetarian version – ideal for special occasions.

What does farm to table mean at Hotel Belvedere?
