RESTAURANTS & DINING

Savour family style Italian dishes with gaze-worthy mountain views for lunch and dinner in the Wine Bar & Grill, also open for dinner. As the stars come out, head to intimate Fondue Stube or feast on 3 Michelin Star + 1 Green Star cuisine by Executive Chef Norbert Niederkofler in world-renowned St. Hubertus.
• ST. HUBERTUS
The domain of legendary Chef Norbert Niederkofler and his team, Restaurant St. Hubertus has earned three Michelin stars celebrating Niederkofler’s "Cook the Mountain" philosophy. Only local and seasonal ingredients are used in regional dishes that reflect the beauty and vivid character of the mountains. Named for the patron saint of hunting, the restaurant opened in 1996 – at that time just a tiny space within the hotel’s pizzeria. After being awarded a Michelin star 2000, the restaurant replaced the pizzeria with today’s look: Eight tables grace the elegant dining room. A second Michelin star followed in 2007, and a third in 2018.
In 2020 the restaurant was one of 13 out of the 371 starred restaurants in the Michelin guide to be awarded with its newest distinction, a green ‘star’, symbolised by a leaf. This has been introduced to recognise sustainable gastronomy and distinguish restaurants that are taking responsibility in the conservation of resources and the protection of biodiversity, as well as in reduced consumption of non-renewable energy.
