CULINARY DELIGHTS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

CULINARY IN SUMMER

Eating is a need, enjoying is an art. What La Rouchefoucauld wrote down has always been an open secret in Bregenz. Art simply suits us, why should eating in Bregenz be any different?

COLOURFUL MARKETS - EVERYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES

There's nothing like a weekly shop at the market. Fresh produce from the region, fresh air and perhaps also fresh news from the city? The best thing is to stroll through the weekly market in Bregenz city centre in bright sunshine and be inspired by the abundance of goods on offer. This experience is simply unbeatable, which is why the market days in Kaiserstraße, Kornmarktplatz and Leutbühel are so popular. It is a weekly ritual for the people of Bregenz to do their shopping in the centre on market days, sit in one of the cafés and celebrate life. People meet and exchange ideas at the market. The offer of the local farmers leaves nothing to be desired in terms of quality and variety, but products from the south also arrive on site in fresh quality.

Fortunately, in addition to the two market days, which are a fixed part of life in Bregenz all year round, other offerings also find their place in the city, such as the small version with a handful of selected market stalls every Wednesday at Leutbühel and every Thursday in Clemens-Holzmeistergasse in the Vorkloster - where vegetables, poultry and products from Carinthia are offered.

At the regional organic market, local farmers show how many, healthy foods are grown in the region. Italian flavours and specialities, on the other hand, are brought to the centre of Bregenz by the Italian market in April for epicurean weekends.
