Michelin-starred chef Andreas Herbst: his career

It all began with a passion for cooking

Excellence begins with enthusiasm, and Andreas Herbst’s passion for cooking was evident from an early age. After graduating from hotel school in Bad Hofgastein, he honed his skills in the kitchens of acclaimed chefs. These included Johanna Maier, whose accolades include four Gault&Millau toques and two Michelin stars; award-winning Salzburg chef Andreas Döllerer; and Mario Lohninger, who runs a Michelin-starred restaurant in Frankfurt, Germany.
And then? Andreas returned home to Hotel Riederalm in Leogang. Here, he is head chef and managing director, but above all a husband and father of three children who already share his enthusiasm for cooking. His passion for food and connection to home still come through in every dish he creates.

Michelin-starred chef Andreas Herbst’s philosophy

Sustainable, rooted in the region, bold

Love for the mountains and valleys around Leogang, and for everything that lives and grows here, stands at the heart of Andreas Herbst’s philosophy. His fine dining is deeply rooted in the region. However creative, exclusive or adventurous his dishes may be, they remain honest, authentic and down to earth.

What sustainability means to Michelin-starred chef Andreas Herbst

The finest local produce

For Andreas Herbst, sustainability goes beyond a buzzword or marketing tool. It stands at the heart of his cooking and reflects his deep connection to home. His approach extends well beyond sourcing the finest local produce: it means using as much of every animal and plant as possible and knowing his suppliers personally. With curiosity and the courage to experiment, he keeps finding new ways to explore and showcase the best of the Leogang region.

Zusätzlich möchte ich erwähnen, dass die Küche hervorragend ist. Das Abendessen ist mega und das Frühstück absolut fantastisch.
Auch der Barkeeper versteht was von seinem Job.

Das Abendessen im Restaurant war ausgezeichnet! Das gesamte Servicepersonal sehr freundlich, und immer sehr zuvorkommend. Das gesamte Ambiente stimmte und wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr schön, modern, lieblich und sauber.
Die Gastgeber kamen an unseren Tisch um uns willkommen zu heißen, was wir als sehr herzlich empfanden.

Meine Küche ist nicht nur exquisit, sondern auch mehrfach ausgezeichnet. 2019 wurde ich in die renommierten “Jeunes Restaurateuers d’Europe” (JRE) aufgenommen, die gewissermaßen die Kochelite Europas darstellen. 2024 folgten vier Gault & Millau-Hauben für das Sternerestaurant “dahoam”. Ein Jahr später durfte ich, Andreas Herbst, sich über gleich zwei Michelin-Sterne freuen: einen “klassischen” roten Michelin-Stern für ausgezeichnete Küche und einen grünen Michelin-Stern für besonders nachhaltige Gourmetküche.
