Farm-to-Table Camping: How Our Restaurant Sources Local Game and Produce

If you love camping that tastes as good as it feels, farm-to-table camping is for you. At Terrassencamping Ossiach, our on-site Restaurant Martinz turns the region’s freshest ingredients into memorable meals — from wild game we hunt and process ourselves to organic beef from Carinthian farms and trout sourced right in Ossiach. In this guide, you’ll see exactly how we bring "regional, fresh, and lovingly prepared" to your plate, and how to make the most of it on your next stay.

What Is Farm-to-Table Camping?

Farm-to-table camping brings the heart of local cuisine to your campsite experience. In practice, it means:

The result: fresher taste, simpler logistics for campers, and a deeper connection to the landscape you came to explore.

Our Philosophy: Regional, Fresh, and Lovingly Prepared

At Restaurant Martinz, our guiding principle is simple: "regionality, freshness and loving preparation of all dishes." Being a family-run campsite for three generations means those values show up in everyday decisions — from who we source from to how we craft each plate. Whether you’ve spent the day by Lake Ossiach, hiked the surrounding mountains, or cheered on friends at the sports fields, you’ll always find a hearty, regional meal waiting for you.

To keep that promise, we:

Where Your Meal Comes From

Here’s a clear look at how key ingredients reach your table.

Ingredient Source What that means for you
Organic beef Carinthian farmers from Mölltal Traceable quality from regional organic farms.
Wild game Hunted and processed by our own team (fresh to the kitchen by Chef Bruno) Peak freshness and genuine local flavor.
Trout Purchased regionally, including directly in Ossiach Lake-near sourcing with delicate, clean taste.
Alpe-Adria specialties Regional partnerships Broader flavors that still honor our locale.

These sourcing choices preserve the distinct character of Carinthia on every plate and let you taste the difference that proximity makes.

From Forest to Kitchen: Our Local Game

Wild game is a signature of our farm-to-table approach. Because our family hunts and processes the game ourselves — with Chef Bruno bringing it fresh into the kitchen — we can:

This is as local as it gets, and it’s a central reason guests return for our game specialties year after year.

From Lake to Table: Ossiach Trout and Regional Fish

Trout is a staple of Carinthian cuisine, and we source it regionally — including directly in Ossiach. That closeness helps preserve the fish’s delicate texture and mild flavor. Whether pan-seared or gently poached, expect clean, lake-fresh notes that pair beautifully with simple, seasonal sides.

Organic Beef From Mölltal: Carinthian, Trusted, Delicious

Our organic beef comes from Carinthian farmers in Mölltal. Working with trusted organic producers means:

You’ll taste that care in every bite — and you’ll know exactly where it comes from.

Alpe‑Adria Accents: Regional Cuisine, Expanded

We complement our strictly regional roots with specialties inspired by the Alpe-Adria region. It’s a natural fit: similar seasons, shared ingredients, and traditions that enhance, not overshadow, our Carinthian identity. Expect bright Mediterranean touches that make local produce sing.

Seasonal Friday Highlights: The Best of the Week, Starting 5:30 p.m.

Every Friday from 5:30 p.m., our head chef presents a curated selection of regional and seasonal specialties. It’s the perfect way to cap off an active week by the lake or in the mountains and to savor what’s freshest right now.

Beyond the Plate: A Family Place to Gather

Great meals are about more than ingredients — they’re about where and how you enjoy them. Our setup makes it easy to relax together:

This is farm-to-table camping designed for real families — welcoming, unhurried, and delicious.
