The Shop "Salmon & Friends"

Attached to the restaurant is our shop "Salmon & Friends." Here along with our organic salmon delicacies you will find delightful wine as well as delicacies from friends and partners active on the Austrian delicatessen scene such as "Fink," "Gölles," "Trausner," "Pfau," "Pecoraro" and many more.

Salmon Smoking

For those who are interested we offer tours rounded off with a tasting session or with a divine menu.
Bachmann´s organic salmon has gained widespread acclaim and is the only Austrian product that features in the elite "World Gourmet Club".
Quality Guarantee:
Peter still sees salmon as his hobby-and whatever you pursue as a hobby can only be good!

"I control every salmon that leaves our smoking house before it is packaged to guarantee the best approved Bachmann quality."

Peter Bachmann
Awards & Nominations

Out of love for salmon

Peter Bachmann is often asked "How did smoked salmon come to Gailtal?"

He is happy to chat with passionate gourmets and fish lovers about certain "coincidences" (in which he doesn´t believe) starting with a Scotsman who smoked salmon on Lanzarote, to a boozy night dining on salmon with friend and "noodle professor" Lenzi Gregori in 1992…

"Bachmann´s smoked salmon" has won acclaim far beyond the borders of Kärnten and has conquered the Austrian gourmet scene."

Philosophy

From natural upkeep with biological feeding to loving processing in our establishment, every step is carried out in accordance with the philosophy of "slow food." Particularly when it comes to eating, ethics and enjoyment are of the upmost significance. We would like to prove with our product how good salmon can taste!

From the Gailtal smoking House - fresh to your table!

1. Clare Island Organic Salmon

The finest the European salmon market currently has to offer and that is comparable to wild salmon. That means consistency and juiciness to the very last bite.
2. Absolute Freshness

You can enjoy our smoked salmon only days after it has been caught. This requires a sophisticated system of logistics. Direct from Clare Island to Bachmann… then fresh to your table!
3. Years of Experience & The loving workmanship

Only fully biological ingredients, real rock salt and Grander water. This is the basis for that of our first class product.
4. The Gailtal Smoking Cupboard

According to an age old tradition smoked with a mix of wood and juniper berries giving it its unique taste and special aroma.
Organic, Rock Salt & Co


  • Austria-Organic-Guarantee
    All herbs, spices and ingredients are of fully organic origin and are subject to the strict monitoring of the "Austrian Organic Guarantee." From farming to production every step of the process follows the "slow food" concept!
  • Primitive salt - as precious as gold
    We only season with natural rock salt from Austria. This is million year old salt that comes from dried up primordial oceans. It is void of the effects of civilization and yet still contains all the trace elements and essential minerals.
  • Grander water
    We make use of "living" water with all natural information in the pickling process. Regenerated, by what has now become known as a scientifically recognized technology, by the water researcher Johann Grander. Water-the source of life!
As a result of all of these factors our product has been named lovingly by the media as “Feng Shui”-salmon!

The Gourmet Meeting Place in Gailtal

The moment you walk in you will instantly be struck by the loving attention to detail and the cosiness of this establishment. The highlights of the menu are the famous delicacies made from "St. Patrick" organic salmon from Clare Island off the West Atlantic coast of Ireland.
All the marvellous dishes that can be conjured up with this salmon - divine!

It is not without good reason that our smoked salmon is served in the most superior establishments in Austria and has earned an excellent reputation across the world. It is exported to destinations as far flung as Dubai and Moscow.

Here you can enjoy these delicacies straight from the source.

Our absolute attention to quality is evident from the products on offer.
Why not let us tantalise your taste buds?


The whole of Carinthia and specifically our particular region is a delicatessen shop full of creative products and people who devote their energy to producing goods of quality rather that quantity.

We are always on the look-out for new delights and delicacies and attach great importance to regional products. We are happy to support all new initiatives.
Depending on the season we serve delicacies such as ...

... Lavanttal asparagus, mushrooms from our woodlands, Gailtal organic beef, Hafner Feta cheese, all kinds of pumpkins, Granitzer Organic goose, winter organic carp, Alpine lamb and German heath lamb ...

... that add even more appeal to our menu.

You will be spoilt for choice…

Will you choose a Salmon creation, one of our delicious gourmet menus or perhaps something from the seasonal menu?

Regardless of what you decide on…

You will be left with fond memories and the desire to come back again very soon.



Yours,
Bachmann Team
