Ladin Cuisine and Traditional Restaurants

Selva boasts a rich culinary tradition influenced by both Italian and Austrian heritage, known as Ladin cuisine. Typical dishes include 'Schlutzkrapfen' (spinach and ricotta ravioli), 'Knödel' (dumplings with various fillings), 'Grostl' (sautéed potatoes, beef, and onion), and hearty stews. Renowned restaurants like Restaurant Salastrains (fine dining) and traditional 'Stuben' offer authentic experiences. Local products such as speck, cheese, and regional wines are highly recommended. Many restaurants participate in 'Taste Val Gardena' events. Prices for a main course typically range from 15-35 EUR.
