The pick of fresh local products inspires seasonal, contemporary American cuisine at inviting brasserie-style restaurant and adjoining Bar M

(Telluride, Colorado) – Pull up a seat and sink your teeth into Colorado at its freshest at M’s Restaurant, the new dining experience at Hotel Madeline in Telluride. Conceived and launched by renowned local Chef Jake Linzinmeir, M’s Restaurant presents an inviting brasserie-style setting for savoring contemporary American cuisine with focus on fresh local and seasonal products – from Colorado beef dry-aged onsite to exceptional seafood, produce and cheeses. Paired with the re-concepted Bar M, an adjoining Rocky Mountain-style gastropub, M’s Restaurant emerges as the brightest new destination on the Telluride scene.

“We’re really focusing on creativity,” says Chef Linzinmeir, who calls his dining concept “Farm-to-Table Colorado Rocky Mountain Cuisine” and fully intends for M’s Restaurant to contribute its own-grown ingredients to the mix. “There’s a short-but-intense growing season at 9,500 feet in the Rockies, but local producers have shown themselves enthusiastic to everything we’re doing.”

A destination dining address, M’s Restaurant is a hot spot for locals as well as hotel guests. Casual and approachable, the restaurant is designed with the welcoming feel of a neighborhood tavern or even a family room in which to unwind over contemporary comfort food after an adventurous day in the Rockies. Back in the kitchen, Chef Linzinmeir and his team apply the personal touch wherever possible, from grinding meat to baking bread and even crafting exclusive mustards and cheeses onsite.

The Chef
Chef Linzinmeir is no stranger to the Telluride dining scene. Midwestern born and family farm bred, he traveled widely for early exposure to regional cuisines and cultures across America, Asia and Europe. Following study at the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, he jumped into restaurants from New York to Aspen, L.A. to Italy, where he worked under Chef Massimiliano Aljamo, the youngest chef to score Three Michelin Stars, at Le Calandre near Venice.

Beyond his work at M’s Restaurant, Linzinmeir owns and operates The Bluepoint Grill & Noir Bar, The Excelsior Café and X Café in Telluride and has also launched concepts at a handful of local restaurants. Widely renowned for versatility and passion for quality, he’s been nationally praised and has appeared on The TODAY Show, among other media outlets.


The Menu
The chef-driven menu at M’s Restaurant is presented in traditional brasserie format with emphasis on fresh, regional products for braises, roasts and straightforward yet exquisite seafood. Daily selections of game, stews and seasonal fare will serve to generate recurring excitement for habitués, as will special offerings such as weekly wine-and-cheese tastings.

Among many menu highlights: Wild Alpine Mushroom ‘Cappuccino’ Soup, created from mushrooms picked just seven miles from Hotel Madeline along with celery root, Yukon Gold foam and wild mushroom biscotti. The signature dish was inspired by Chef Linzinmeir’s experience in Italy. Pretzel-Crusted Colorado Lamb Chop is another signature brought to brilliance with ‘Purple Haze’ lavender honey and served alongside rosemary spaetzle and a trio of house mustards.

Moving on, M’s Restaurant’s debut mid-winter menu runs from starters like House Made Local Charcuterie and Oysters Telluride to Roasted Heirloom Beet Salad and French-Inspired Local Three Onion Soup. “Fish and Shellfish” offer up Crisp Rocky Mountain Bass with Lemon Verbena Evoo and Lobster “Pot Pie” in baked tarragon puff pastry. And “Farm & Ranch” selections seemed poised for hearty appetites – the only kind there are after a day on the slopes – including Smoked Butter Colorado Beef Tenderloin and Crispy Phyllo-Wrapped Rocky Mountain Buffalo Short Rib.

Bar M
Adjoining the restaurant is Bar M, a full service Colorado gastropub with bar and takeout service available for the convenience of locals and visitors alike. Warm and inviting, Bar M offers its own chef-driven cuisine with full dining at the bar or option to sit down and order at a communal table from a server with a simple clipboard. As at M’s Restaurant, Chef Linzinmeir’s bar menu features fresh local and regional ingredients sourced as often as possible from nearby producers or created in the kitchen.

The seasonal Bar M menu includes Raw Bar selections such as Pacific Oysters and Amber Jack Crudo; small plates including Buffalo Tartare with quail egg, BBQ Pork Belly with apple and Lobster Lollipops with yuzu; and large plate selections such as Maple Miso Glazed Duck with butternut squash; Braised Korabuta Pork Shank with pumpkin puree; and Tagorashi Dusted Scallops with miso brown butter.

Behind the bar, Bar M offers a full selection of spirits; primarily New World wines as well as local microbrews from Colorado craft brewers. Guests can also choose to indulge in the bar’s signature cocktail: a vodka fruit infusion of the week. The bar is further arrayed for pub-style entertainment, with pool table, ping-pong, shuffleboard and video games as well as satellite televisions for the pleasure of patrons.

Opening Hours and Reservations:
M’s Restaurant is open for Breakfast 7:30am – 10:30am daily, Dinner from 6:00pm – 9:00pm daily; Bar M is open from 11:30am daily until closing.

Retired as CEO from Ritz Carlton for one weekend, he found fishing boring and went back to work. This time he founded his own hotel group: Capella. We have researched the history and story of his first hotel: Schloss Velden in Austria.

In 2007, former Ritz Carlton CEO Horst Schulze opened Hotel Schloss Velden in Austria as the flagship hotel of his new hotel group Capella. In 2008, the Breidenbacher Hof in Duesseldorf, Germany became the second Select Member of The Most Famous Hotels in the World to be operated under Cappela.

Today famoushotels proudly presents 400 years of history of Schloss Velden, the legendary castle and hotel at the idyllic Lake Woerth in Carinthia, Austria's exemplary holiday destination.

Andreas Augustin (A.A.): Horst, we are sitting at Seespitz (photo), the trendy lakeside restaurant, watching the sunrise as we are having breakfast. What's your personal breakfast favourite?

Horst Schulz (H.S.): Weisswurst!!!

A.A.: And your motto in life?

H.S.: Earthly happiness is to be connected to creating excellence.

A.A.: Our book on Schloss Velden came out today. It is a splendid coffee table book featuring photography by US star photographer Robert Reck, but also a great collection of historic photographs - and of course a thoroughly researched history of the 400-years old castle. Did you have a chance to read it?

H.S.: Oh yes, Andreas! I just concluded the wonderful nostalgic tour of the Hotel Schloss Velden as seen through your eyes - FANTASTIC. History is a key element. When I first came to America in the 1960s, I was working on a ship. We had some days off and we went to see New York. All my colleagues took cabs to the Empire State building or other famous sights, but I told the driver of my taxi "Take me to the Waldorf Astoria!" For me, historic hotels were always a magnet.

A.A.: You have started Capella Hotels as an ultimate luxury hotel chain in 2007. Luxury is what, exactly, today?

H.S.: 35 years ago luxury was a large hotel lobby with a glass elevator. 25 years ago, that changed with Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons. And today it is changing again. Waterford chandeliers as a symbol of luxury don't hurt but they are not luxury any more. Luxury today is privacy, security, safety, personal service, individual attention.

A.A.: How do you respond to this?

H.S.: We need to know what our new luxury travellers want. In general they all want individuality.

A.A.: What's new?

H.S.: Our response! We will shift away from "this is what we offer you!" to "what do you want, we create it for you!"

A.A.: This is what I have experienced at Capella Hotels. Following my reservation a personal assistant called me to find out what I want.

H.S.: That is exactly the point. We ask the guest, what he wants and how he wants it. And then we make it happen. That is the new luxury. We have commissioned a survey and we learnt from it, that 79% of hotel guests would prefer more individuality during their stay. A port for their own i-pod - people want to listen to their own music while they are in the hotel room - unlimited internet access at no extra charge, etc.

A.A.: You are currently managing two very important historic hotels, one is Schloss Velden, the other one is the Breidenbacher Hof in Duesseldorf, Germany, which goes back over 200 years. Do you consider history an USP?

H.S.: History is very important and a great tool. Here at Schloss Velden I can actually feel the past and I encounter this with great respect. Here history is presented with a heart, not with snobbish arrogance. This is what I like. History is a very important marketing tool. And you bring it alive in your books!

A.A.: How may luxury chains can the global market take?

H.S.: Since 2001, 15 new luxury hotel chains were formed in the United States. 11 of them are already bankrupted.

A.A.: How will this luxury element develop?

H.S.: The well known five-star chains are the leading quality hotels, serving the top market segment. They have to expand their guest 'down market' because the economy has lowered their occupancy. They are all, at this moment, reaching down in market segments. Consequently they will loose their top market. Whenever you reach for an extra 10% from the down-market, you loose 2% of your top-market. That was always the case, since one hundred years.

A.A.: The result of that will be that new leaders will have to fill the top segment?

H.S.: Yes, while the leading hotel companies will become more conventional, others will take over the luxury part.

A.A.: Luxury is what, exactly, today?

H.S.: The luxury hotel of yesterday is too large to deliver this personal attention. And in fact, they want to give up this segment. So a new luxury is developing in the hotel business. This is the big change that is happening right now. Hotel companies like Capella are taking over the very top market luxury customer because they are smaller and can respond to the individual needs, be it a diet, or a check-in time, or an allergy - anything. They can respond to the individual while the traditional large luxury hotel can not do that any more.

A.A.: Which markets are our future markets?

H.S.: Within the next ten years, one percent of the Chinese population will be travelling abroad. By that time that will be 15 million people. They will stay about 15 days outside of the country in average. This is over 200 million roomnights. Who will be that one percent of the Chinese travellers? The upper class, of course! So you will have an infusion of 200 million new roomnights in the luxury market. At the same time we have to look at the Indian markets, where we observe the same aspects.

A.A.: How should we prepare for this?

H.S.: We need to know what our new luxury travellers want. In general they all want individuality. We will shift away from "this is what we offer you!" to "what do you want, we create it for you!"

A.A.: How did the travel industry in general develop?

H.S.: Look at the development of travel agencies, for example. Years ago when airlines stopped paying commissions, everybody was convinced this is the end of this industry. Today they have become personal travel adivisors rather than ticket writers. And they are more important to us than ever. When, 20 years ago, we lost a guest, OK, we lost ONE guest. With the involvement of the travel advisors, the situation changed. If you loose a guest, you also loose the travel advisor. So our full concentration is on keeping the guest, find out if he had any negative experience and turn it around.

Service is not something you only talk about: you need to deliver it!

Thank you, Horst, for your time and breakfast. Hope to see you again soon in one of your historic hotels.
