The best Austrian restaurants Innsbruck

A Tyrolean "tiroler wirtshaus" of the highest order. The restaurant has a cosy room with wooden walls, where delicious traditional Tyrolean dishes are served on solid wood tables: duck, schnitzel, cordon bleu, pastries... In summer, a large terrace allows you to eat outside. An excellent address with reasonable prices for this quality of culinary proposals. A relaxed atmosphere and a nice chic and sober decoration will make you spend a pleasant moment. Lots of local people.

Set in a beautifully painted house opposite a Baroque-style building, this restaurant still looks good after five centuries. A locker with a personal key is provided for storing clothes and bags. Under the imperial family eagle, painted in 1540, you'll find a top-of-the-range kitchen. The paintings on the first floor were created by the city's bishop, who sells his works at auction and uses the proceeds to maintain Innsbruck Cathedral.

The place is almost perfect, or almost perfect because perfection is such a useless and subjective concept. The food is excellent and the wine is good. In the historic setting of an old tower, fortification walls, massive period tables and professional service. Very picturesque, candles on the tables, an ideal place to get acquainted with the city. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on weekend nights. A little tip: remember to ask for a table near the window for even more charm!

Under a small portico, near the Theaterplatz. Housed in a former emperor's fisherman's house, a café-bar-restaurant is very popular with the local youth. In the evenings, the music in this large multi-storey space is decidedly young and sometimes a little deafening. You should therefore choose the time of day to go there carefully. Nice and relaxed atmosphere, very affordable prices and fresh products. Classic and comfortable furniture. Wood is a guest of honour in this room where you are served relatively quickly.

Alfred Miller's Schöneck, an inn established since 1899 near Weiherburg Castle in Innsbruck, is a picturesque house with an enchanting garden and is one of Innsbruck's best gourmet addresses. The menu offers two menus with which you can compose your own meal. Alfred Miller enthusiastically prepares a bouillabaisse, which testers claim "doesn't even come close to being the best in Marseille"! The fish and meat are of the highest quality, the game and the desserts enchanting.

Behind the apparent atmosphere of a cheerful gargote, the Wilderin has matured the responsible and ethical project of offering reasoned cuisine, whose three key words are: regional, seasonal, sustainable. The restaurant buys from small local producers and breeders, guaranteeing traceability from field to plate. All without sacrificing taste: refined, tasty local cuisine with interesting combinations. An excellent, friendly address for healthy, gourmet meals.

This restaurant and biergarten (literally: beer garden) in the old town comprises several rooms with different atmospheres and a pleasant terrace on the square at the rear. Despite the crowds, service is friendly and efficient. The menu features traditional, hearty dishes: venison stew, goulash, Viennese cutlets, sausages... On their website, a menu in French may give you an idea too. Great choice of local beers for beer lovers. Dynamic, friendly team.
