The best restaurants in Innsbruck
The Oniriq is fantastic in many respects, the almost meat-free tasting menu as well as the wine and non-alcoholic accompaniment. Culinary and atmospheric with a Scandinavian vibe!
Lobster lasagne, rabbit fillet or turbot "Colbert" - the Bistro Gourmand lives up to its name. Thierry Aragona plays the French-Mediterranean keyboard of fine cuisine with virtuosity.
Urban ambience, a wonderful view - and the menu also contains many fine "bright spots": three menu variations with fish, meat and some vegetarian options, all cleverly presented.
In his "Cuisine naturelle", Thomas Knittl aims to preserve the originality of the basic products. He celebrates this in a fresh and varied way, from breakfast to afternoon snacks and dinner.
Down-to-earth fare such as "Andreas Hofer Pfefferrahmsteak" or cheese spaetzle alternate with current favourites with the best view over Innsbruck: Thai curry, coconut lentil dal and pasta dishes.
Elisabeth Geisler now sources vegetables from the Sitzwohl farm of the restaurant's namesake. The patron's cuisine is still pure, down-to-earth and full of creativity and subtlety.
Of course, steak is grilled over the wood fire in the open kitchen - the whole range of cuts and side dishes, expertly prepared. The starters, salads and fish dishes are also good.
Sanyo Nagpal and his team offer an interesting range of regional produce and international cuisine, such as duck breast rolls with Asian herbs, in the listed monastery vaults.
The Leipziger Hof is a dignified and cosy place for international and Tyrolean cuisine. Delicacies such as pheasant breast, Wildererpfandl and homemade spinach dumplings. Large selection of desserts!
The team serves traditional dishes from Tyrol and Austria, as well as dishes from beyond the country's borders, in the wood-panelled restaurant. Ingredients from the region are used to refine farmer's roast and apple rolls.
A feel-good place for regular guests and friends of fresh, down-to-earth cuisine is the restaurant run by Christian Burkia, who, as a warm host and sommelier, has taken the former tennis parlour to new heights.
Brown cattle calves, perch or migratory hens: "Die Wilderin" Claudia Kogler takes regionality at its word and conjures up delicious dishes with her team. Authentic, creative, down-to-earth and yet special.
In the restaurant weitsicht, guests are not only amazed by the box seat, but also delighted by the cosmopolitan cuisine between beef tartare, gnocchi, baba ganoush and fish and chips.
Tamer Kacar and his team look after their many regular guests with both warmth and professionalism; from a light, wholesome business lunch to an eight-course dinner menu with a love of detail and refinement.
If you realise, in the middle of the old town, that Italy is only a trip over the Brenner Pass away, it's because of the Convento: delicious pasta, grilled whole fish, truffles and the right wines.
At "Fisch Peer" in the market hall, the focus is clearly on fresh fish and seafood, straight from the counter. From oysters and fish soup to spaghetti vongole, no wish is left unfulfilled.
The beautiful parlour in the Weißes Rössl is rustic yet modern. On the plate, there’s a great balancing act between grandma's tavern cuisine and fine delicacies with many regional ingredients and classics.
Dine and have breakfast directly in the diving tower behind floor-to-ceiling glass fronts - so the view is spectacular. The kitchen also offers a wide view - from cheese spaetzle and Schlutzkrapfen (stuffed pasta) to red curry.
With a view of the distillery, the focus here is of course on high-proof spirits, but not only that. Hearty Tyrolean delicacies and seasonal highlights whet the appetite in their beautiful parlour.
If you love Asia and can't decide between destinations, this is the place for you. Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai specialties are served in the large, modern restaurant.
