The best restaurants in Kitzbühel, from award-winning cuisine to self-service budget meals

Advice

There’s no shortage of restaurants in Kitzbühel, both on and off the mountain, but even so, these often get fully booked, so it pays to secure a table in advance. Among the inevitable pricier options is a surprisingly good choice of simpler Italian-style eateries serving good value pizzas and pasta – and there’s budget fare on the mountain too.

In resort

Centro Cafe Bar Restaurant

In the town centre, the Centro Cafe is a great place for people watching. It’s a light and bright room with a vaulted ceiling. Wood-fired pizzas start at an incredibly reasonable €8.80 and the daily two-course menu with the dish of the day costs €8.30.

Gourmet Tennerhof

In the five-star Hotel Tennerhof, Gourmet Tennerhof (also known as the Kupferstube) has the best cuisine in town, overseen by chef Johannes Denk. The Tristan lobster with cauliflower and mortadella, catfish and escargots from Vienna or beef with boletus from Kitzbühel don’t come cheap, but are so good it feels like value for money.

Rosi’s Sonnbergstub’n

For something different, it’s worth a taxi ride to Rosi’s Sonnbergstub’n on the outskirts of town towards Jochberg. The speciality lamb and duck are excellent, as are the sushi and sashimi. And you can now cook your own meats at the table. But the highlight is Rosi herself. Expect to be serenaded at your table by her at some stage in the evening.
