Mountain restaurants in St Anton
Skiing is hard work, the perfect excuse to have a nice big lunch on the mountain and experience some amazing cuisine.
Austrian mountain food has evolved to combat the effect of the altitude and the cold. Good, solid fare like dumplings, sausages and soups, hot and hearty enough to heat you through. The main repertoire centers around different combinations of staple ingredients – bacon, potato and cabbage, however with an open mind things can become more interesting!
Offers an extensive menu with excellent quality food, the service can be a bit hit and miss but it has a great atmosphere. It has a large sun terrace but tends to get very busy in good weather so get there early to be sure of getting somewhere outside. The restaurant is located at the bottom of the Blue 8 run from Galzig to St Christoph.
Champagne and pizza bar with stunning panoramic views. Giant pizzas are made to order, proportional to the number of people eating. Great sun trap.
Cozy restaurant serving typical Austrian dishes and playing traditional Tyrolean music. They have a small sun terrace that gets quite busy on a sunny day. They don’t have a children’s menu but they will make something up for you. Open on a Thursday and Friday evening serving fondue and meats cooked on a hot stone.
Fun place for lunch, serving a mixture of traditional and international cuisine in front of an open fire, or on the sun terrace.
Original, rustic and stylish, the Hospiz Alm serves authentic Tyrolean food with warm hospitality. They have an incredible wine cellar with a slide which was once used for wine transportation but now takes you to the toilets! For lunch try the enormous plate of spare ribs or the cheese spätzle.
There is not a great selection of restaurants in Stuben, but the Hotel Post is definitely the best. The menu includes a good choice of well presented Austrian dishes. The hotel’s wine cellar is well stocked with a good selection of mostly Austrian wines.
A Tyrolean restaurant perched above the Nasserein nursery slopes, serving traditional food as well as burgers and baguettes in cozy surroundings. Try the famous Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle), but don’t expect to do much skiing after if you’ve had a whole one to yourself!
Popular a la carte restaurant serving fantastic food with dishes such as lobster ravioli and baked monkfish. Great place for non-skiers to enjoy the stunning views of the mountain.
