Best Street Food Restaurants in Tyrol
Neapolitan pizza as it should be: wafer-thin base, fluffy, elastic crust and generous toppings made from the best products (tip: the spicy house creation with 'Nduja, olives and ricotta crust). You almost forget that the antipasti, pasta and secondi are still waiting.
When the cargo bikes roll in at lunchtime, the menu is international and colourful: three different pot dishes, from curry to soup, are served daily. Vegan and vegetarian diners in particular will be happy – from dal to chili sin carne. Served with home-baked bread.
A true paradise for all carnivores. Regional meat is expertly grilled and roasted on lava stones, with the smoker adding wonderful smoky aromas to the burgers. The Tuesday beef tartare is also wonderful.
This restaurant's authentic Nepalese specialties has been a welcome change among Innsbruck's street food spots. Momos are a must to start with, followed by wonderful stews, with meat or veggie options.
For those who are hungry at lunchtime and don't want to take a break afterwards: the international stews ranging from Indian dal to Thai curry (with meat on request), noodle bowls and crisp salads made from fresh ingredients provide an enjoyable vitamin and energy boost in the centre.
It can be low in calories and easy on the figure elsewhere, but here it's all about the "American way" of eating: fine burger creations made from local beef (optionally with a "beyond meat" patty), garnished with classic side dishes such as fries, coleslaw and onion rings.
This stylish restaurant is living proof that you can also embellish kebabs in creative ways. In ciabatta with guacamole, for example, and a vegan version is also available on request. Also on the menu: bowls, wraps, hand-cut fries and a large veggie selection!
The modern pub also serves small snacks alongside coffee and drinks. Hungry guests love the pizza from the wood-fired oven, which is prepared with homemade dough and generous, often creative toppings - such as gorgonzola and pear.
Asparagus from Lavant, parmesan polenta and wild herb cheese dumplings are not something you would necessarily expect to find in a food truck. It is precisely because of the regional recipes that Fabio Kofler's stall is so popular on the three fixed dates. The Grantenkuchen (Granny cake) is fresh every day. A real treat!.
The team also delights with shakes, but lovers of uncomplicated cuisine opt for focaccia and burgers. Beef is kept "medium well", for example in the "Hawaii" version. Vegetarians will love the "Spicy Halloumi", served with fries - classic or sweet potato.
In the middle of Lienz's main square, Verena Steiner makes the world a little better every lunchtime with her cargo bike: waste avoidance and sustainability are two of her key concerns. The weekly changing vegan wraps are full of freshness and creativity.
Lots of wood and large glass fronts create a pleasant atmosphere, and the cuisine is not limited to Italy: antipasti and pasta in a classic guise and an unbeatable variety of pizzas are one thing. Burgers, steaks and hearty finger food are another.
Korea and Japan set the tone in this friendly and very popular restaurant. The large selection of sushi is impressive and ranges from classic nigiri and maki to a wide variety of rolls. Freshly prepared classics such as bibimbap are on the Korean side of the menu.
The Salzburg burger institution ensures fresh taste at a high level. Organic meat and various toppings are the stars, but the homemade sauces and side dishes also deserve attention. This also applies to the veggie versions with a sweet potato or broccoli patty.
Genuine grandma recipes such as Rübenkraut salad, Gerstl or Graukäse soup provide the snack version of East Tyrolean cuisine. Toast - including the house version "Hoagascht" - is another specialty in the cosy little restaurant. Even the beer - a "Geigenseer" - is regional.
Healthy fast food that's fun – that's how you could sum up the philosophy of this pretty restaurant. While the hot pots and bowls are bursting with vegetables and international flavours, you'll be looking in vain for meat. For those with a sweet tooth, there is porridge to make yourself.
The popular Innsbruck lunch address provides the necessary energy boost with a display case full of light, vegetable-heavy and freshly prepared dishes. Accordingly, people love to swarm in from the surrounding offices at lunchtime: pasta, bowls and crisp, colourful salads taste great.
If you find it difficult to make decisions - or prefer to choose from the complete Asian range - you will be browsing here for quite a while. In addition to noodle and rice boxes, there is all kinds of sushi on offer. Thai curries, bowls and pan-Asian classics also come out of the kitchen.
The Syrian snack bar near the railway station is the perfect place to try some of the lesser-known snacks, such as the small filled dough patties (Safeeha) or the bulgur balls (Kibbeh). For those with a bigger appetite, classics such as falafel wraps and shawarma plates await.
Even under new management, Japan meets Thailand here. It's best to enjoy one of the sushi sets in pairs or try the Thai specialties - those who like it spicier are well advised to try the curries. Bento boxes are available for a quick lunch.
