The specialties of the Valley

Some dishes tell a story better than a thousand words. In the Munster Valley, the cuisine reflects the landscape: generous, authentic, shaped by the seasons and simple customs.

Recipes that smell good on the family table, melted cheese, golden potatoes, freshly cut herbs… This is the cuisine we share here, by cooking it or telling stories about it.

Two iconic recipes await you below: to try at home to prolong the taste of your stay a little or simply to discover what "eating well" means, when you're in good company.
