East Meets Alps: The Cultural Story Behind Our Wednesday Thai Buffet
If you’ve ever finished a big mountain day craving something vibrant, fragrant, and beautifully comforting, our Wednesday Thai buffet is for you. Every Wednesday from 18:00, Gasthof Untermetzger in Zell am Ziller serves an all-you-can-eat, house-prepared Thai dinner for €23 per person (excluding drinks). Here’s the story of how this Southeast Asian tradition found a welcoming home in our Tyrolean guesthouse—and why it has become one of the features that sets us apart.
Why a Wednesday Thai buffet in a Tyrolean guesthouse?
Tyrol is famous for its warmth and hospitality—think cozy parlors, shared tables, and unhurried meals. Thai cuisine, too, celebrates togetherness, with dishes meant to be sampled and shared. Bringing the two under one roof was a natural fit.
At our à-la-carte Stube, we serve Tyrolean, Mediterranean, and Thai dishes. The Stube is open to everyone—not only hotel guests—and welcomes you in the evenings between 18:00 and 22:00 (winter: mid-December to end of March; summer: mid-July to end of September). That spirit of openness inspired our Wednesday Thai buffet, a weekly ritual where friends, families, and fellow travelers gather to taste a range of house-prepared Thai specialties in a relaxed, Alpine setting.

East meets Alps on your plate
Thai cooking is renowned for its balance—sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes working in harmony—while Tyrolean cuisine is built for nourishment and comfort after an active day outdoors. Put the two together and you get a satisfying evening that feels both restorative and refreshing.
- After a day riding the Zillertal Arena, a Thai dinner’s bright herbs and warming spices can be a delightful contrast to the crisp Alpine air.
- Communal buffet dining mirrors the sociable rhythm of our Tyrolean guest parlors, where conversation and shared plates come naturally.
In short, the flavors travel far, but their purpose is very local: good food, good company, and a generous welcome.
