Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler

★★★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Alpine

Situated in a vast historic park near the centre of Brunico, this restaurant occupies a villa that was once part of the Moessmer textile factory – to illustrate the fact, an interesting fabric book dating from the early 20C is displayed on a large central table in the dining room. Here, the chef’s “Cook the Mountain” philosophy takes centre stage with a focus on top-quality produce sourced from the surrounding mountains, and a seasonal approach which ensures that flavours and ingredients are always at their best.

Schwarzer Adler

★★ Michelin€€€€European Contemporary, Seasonal Cuisine

Chef Johannes Nuding needs no introduction, having previously served up three-MICHELIN-star cuisine at London's Sketch – The Lecture Room & Library. His dishes are clearly structured and creative. He excels at combining ingredients, textures and flavours in ways that are pleasingly contrasting yet harmonious. This is exemplified by his wild-caught turbot roasted on the bone, set atop seasoned borlotti beans with braised pointed pepper, confit lemon and salted capers, and completed with a classic wine sauce. Given the quality of the six-course set menu (with an optional extra course), it's hard

IKIGAI

★★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Asian Contemporary

Schloss Elmau is a truly exceptional hideaway, set in a spectacular location surrounded by mountains, forests and meadows. Every ounce of luxury in the hotel and spa finds its culinary match in this restaurant. The Japanese concept of ikigai describes everything that makes life worthwhile. Fine details such as elegant tableware and decorative Japanese kokeshi dolls hint at a deep affinity with Japan – above all, however, this is expressed through the food. Drawing inspiration from his travels, Christoph Rainer consistently integrates Asian and Japanese elements into his creations. A particular

Guat'z Essen

★ Michelin€€€€Vegetarian, Seasonal Cuisine

This restaurant may be rather inconspicuously located on the edge of a small village, but it is certainly worthy of your attention. "From Permaculture to Table" is the concept behind it. Peter Fankhauser is doing remarkable work here in two respects: first, he keeps a 1 000m² permaculture garden and is therefore himself able to supply the restaurant with fruit and vegetables. Only cereals and dairy produce are sourced elsewhere in the region. Secondly, these ingredients are transformed into elaborate dishes that are brimming with flavour and aroma, complexity and intensity. They serve a single

For his nine-course surprise menu, chef Sebastian Stock likes to work with locally sourced ingredients to create clearly structured modern dishes brimming with intensity and flavour. Franz Stock curates superb wine pairings to complement the food. The service is ess

Wolfgang Hirn, meanwhile, manages the service team, and does so with style, expertise and charm. The atmosphere is elegant yet lively, making for a certain bistro vibe. You can also simply enjoy a glass of champagne at the beautiful bar. There is a small terrace in f

The wine list is second to none – drawing on a wealth of expertise and a collection of 1 250 labels and around 20 000 bottles, the st

Haubentaucher

★ Michelin€€€€Farm to table, Creative

The fabulous lakeside location and wonderful terrace are certainly part of the appeal here, but this restaurant has plenty more to recommend it. Dedicated chef-patron Alois Neuschmid, who earned a MICHELIN star years ago at Lois, his previous restaurant here in the same town, cooks up a storm for his guests. At lunchtime, the menu features simpler daily specials, such as fried black pudding, pasta or Wiener schnitzel; in the evening, fine dining is the name of the game, with a four-course surprise menu. In the contemporary, seasonally inspired dishes, the main ingredient is often presented in

Restaurant Überfahrt

You can opt for one of two set menus: "Wirtshaus mal anders" ("Tavern fare with a difference") – in either a conventional and a vegetarian version – or the sharing menu for the whole table as a communal dining experience.

Kleine Flamme

€€€Fusion, Creative

In his small open-view kitchen situated in the centre of this restaurant, chef Bacher Burkhard develops his vision of fusion cuisine with energy and precision, combining flavours from Italy and the Alto Adige with Asian spices and techniques to create delicious and imaginative dishes. His tuna tataki is superb, seasoned with salty lemon oil and accompanied by intriguing bitter herbs that (as Professor Montanari has noted in a recent book) are particularly popular with Italians. The chef’s wife Annelies works front of house, where she looks after guests in a friendly and professional manner.

LAMENG Menue & Bistro

€€€€Creative, Seasonal Cuisine

Two concepts under one roof. Menue is the cosy, modern little locale serving a six-course set menu that changes monthly, plus finger food to start and petits fours to finish. The delicious food is creative and ingredient-led – seasonal produce and a penchant for regional ingredients. You can also plump for the "sharing" format of the set menu. Service is friendly and attentive – the chef, too, serves up dishes himself. The second eatery is the Bistro, which delivers a slightly simpler culinary offering. In case you were wondering, the restaurant's name comes from the expression "aus der Lameng
