Here we are once again in Bolzano, in a wonderful area in which a multiplicity of outstanding restaurants co-exist, exploring an alternative cuisine exalting local ingredients and international flavours and transforming them into top class dishes.
Owner of Opus Catering, which has been working in the international sporting event context for 16 years, Stecher Günther is getting back to his roots, his first love, the top class restaurant sector. In setting up META Restaurant he is pursuing a dream to create something original marrying his roots and the ingredients and expertise picked up all over the world.
This sophisticated melding of cultures is also a feature of the restaurant, offering an evocative Late Night Dinner experience under the restaurant’s wonderful bronze ceiling or a pre-dinner drink or work lunch in the magical atmosphere of his cathedral-view terrace.
The menu is a daily celebration of always fresh and seasonal local ingredients in novel light, highly creative dishes created in his splendid open kitchen. A young and creative team breathes life into a balanced interaction between international influences resulting in constantly original dishes which reflect all the chef’s passion and the hard work of his staff.
There are five constantly changing menus, meat, vegetarian and fish menus, a traditional menu and META Classico which focuses on clients’ favourite starters, pasta and rice dishes and mains.
All dishes live up the restaurant's high attention to detail and presentation standards. Successes have included Bluefin tuna in a ponzu sauce, a Spanish recipe imported and reworked by the chef and a not-to-be-missed dessert, Calamansi with Opalys chocolate, a chocolate casket in kumquat form with its juice and flesh inside conjuring up its original flavour.
The wine list contains 305 labels from top class wineries and new-on-the scene gems for a journey through South Tyrolean wines and much more. META pays homage to a range of entities which share its history and philosophy.
Millennium Water - Antica Fonte della Salute - it was love at first sight, a choice dictated not only by its attractive bottle, however important this is for the look of the restaurant, but first and foremost on water purity and taste grounds.
META Restaurant’s guests are looking for an all-encompassing wellbeing experience for both their taste buds and their minds and a range of Italian celebrities have fallen in love with its location and cuisine.
For Günther and his staff this is proof that they are on the right track and have succeeded in generating the sort of unforgettable experiences that keep people coming back.
