The best restaurants Bregenz

The finest local produce interpreted with originality and exoticism. Sobriety, accuracy and honesty. On the Austrian shore of Lake Constance, Michael and Andrea Schwarzenbacher have been working together for over 25 years. He runs the ovens, she the cellar. But it's together that they welcome their guests and take good care of them. And it's a festival of vegetables, flowers, farmhouse meats, fresh fish... Here, a simple tomato becomes a star, so imagine its companions on the plate!

Very popular address for the people of Bregenz. The Golden Stag (you will see it rearing up on the facade) offers a good regional cuisine where good fish from the lake is combined with typical Austrian dishes. The atmosphere is definitely local and the prices very reasonable for the place. The restaurant has existed for 150 years. A perfect address to discover Austrian cuisine as well as for its picturesque setting.

This bistro, situated in the heart of the city, allègrement blends Austrian traditions, Italian flavours and French gastronomic know-how. Vegetarian specialities.

Gasthaus Kornmesser is a central and picturesque restaurant where you can enjoy the best of the resort: the location, the view of the lake and the harbour in a historical setting, not to mention traditional regional cuisine with fish from the lake. It is well done, nicely served and not too expensive. Apart from fish and seafood, the daily menu includes roast beef ribs with cognac-mustard sauce and gnocchi, a Wiener schnitzel with chips or a good vegetable curry. A recommended address during a stopover in Bregenz.

High up in the mountains above Bregenz, this spectacular establishment boasts a panoramic terrace seating 180, with views over three countries on fine days. Here, the joys of nature and the pleasures of the table are combined, with self-service-style cuisine that's just right. Families will appreciate the children's playground. Bonus activities include bird-of-prey demonstrations and a free visit to a wildlife park. Access by cable car. Numerous hiking trails.

A charming address in the pedestrian center. The terrace is pleasant, but in summer, at lunchtime, it's better to enjoy the coolness of the elegantly decorated dining room: high ceilings, beautiful beams, sliding doors and comfortable seating (benches and armchairs). The lunchtime menu, with soups and an all-you-can-eat buffet of salads and crudités, plus a choice of local seeds, oils and vinegars, is a pleasant surprise. The service is very friendly. You can also settle in just for a coffee and a moment of calm in a refined atmosphere.
