Apostelstube in Bressanone: Michelin-Star International Cuisine by Mathias Bachmann

Apostelstube: A Taste of the Extraordinary in Bressanone

Within the historic walls of the Hotel Elephant in Bressanone, Apostelstube offers a dining experience that blends a sense of place with global ambition. The restaurant's Art Deco interior, inspired by the glamour of the 1920s, sets the stage for what is described as "a world tour for the palate." Here, chef Mathias Bachmann presides over the kitchen, crafting sophisticated international cuisine that has earned the restaurant a Michelin star in the 2026 guide.

Chef Bachmann’s cooking is characterized by precision and a spirit of constant innovation. He presents dishes that are at once refined and surprising, coaxing deep flavor and elegant texture from high-quality ingredients. The meal begins with a curated Aperitif Experience, designed to evoke the historic journey of Soliman the Elephant, a nod to the hotel's own storied past. This sets the tone for a multi-course journey that unfolds through thoughtfully composed degustation menus, each offering a narrative of taste.

Guests can further elevate their evening with a carefully selected wine pairing, drawing from an interesting wine list that complements the chef’s international cuisine. The balance of precise technique and creative flair is the hallmark of a meal at Apostelstube, where each plate is intended to leave a lasting sensory impression. It is a place where the dining experience feels both celebratory and deeply personal, a reflection of the chef’s commitment to "emotion and innovation."
