German term or phrase: Feinspitze
Ein letztes mal meine Bregenzerwald Webseite. Der Begriff Feinspitze ist mir noch nie wirklich begegnet, außer bei Schreibgeräten. Ich habe schon gelernt, dass dies Leute sind, die sehr viel Wert auf gutes Essen legen. Aber wie übersetzt man das

Der Kontext:
Ob Punkte, Hauben, Sterne oder Gabeln – zahlreiche Bregenzerwälder Restaurants tragen Auszeichnungen.
Hier finden Sie erlesene Adressen für Feinspitze.

MundArt

„MundArt“ hat im Bregenzerwald zwei Bedeutungen.
Zum einen bezieht es sich auf die besonderen Dialekte, die hier gepflegt und oft nicht einmal
von Vorarlbergern zu hundert Prozent verstanden werden.

Zum anderen steht “MundArt” für die Kreativität der Bregenzerwälder Gastronomie.

Für sie gehört es zum guten Ton, vorwiegend Produkte aus heimischer Erzeugung
in ihren Küchen zu verwenden: Fleisch, Gemüse, Kräuter und eben Milchprodukte.

MundArt haben sich folgende Mitgliedsbetriebe der KäseStrasse Bregenzerwald zum Motto gemacht.
Sie verstehen sich besonders gut auf die Kunst des Kochens.

  -> True, if you know what you're looking for. The English translation wasn't the problem, though. It was the meaning of the German term which the asker didn't know and needed help with.
