Stephan Vadnjal has been cooking at Dolce Vita on Heuplatz for over four decades—and is thus considered one of the most influential figures in Alpine-Adriatic cuisine in Klagenfurt. What drives him is the quality of each day: Every day, he selects fresh ingredients at the market and only then decides what will end up on the plate. Mediterranean lightness meets traditional recipes, seasonal produce, and Vadnjal’s personal touch. His credo: no limits to creativity in the kitchen—cooking is a labor of love. “Pure nature on the plate, and plenty of time to enjoy it.”
“I practice the art of simplicity. I bring pure nature to the table. That’s how I see Alpine-Adriatic cuisine: authentic quality on the plate—and plenty of time to savor it!”
