€€€Contemporary, Alpine
The location above Ellmau is spectacular! Whether in winter or summer, the unobstructed view of the valley and mountains is simply magnificent – take it in from the terrace or from inside the semi-circular dining room, through floor-to-ceiling windows. In the comfort of the chic Alpine decor, choose from an appetising modern-meets-regional à la carte menu – Austrian classics such as Wiener schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn (torn pancake dessert) can be as heartily recommended as "salmon trout, quince, blood orange, ponzu" or "jezz emperor goose, red cabbage, chestnuts, potato dumplings", for exampl
€€Seasonal Cuisine, Regional Cuisine
Dating back over 400 years, this traditional inn now operates as a combination of organic farm and luxury spa hotel. The regional menu takes its cue from the seasons and also includes classics such as roast chicken and Tyrolean goulash. With 65ha of grassland and 52ha of Alpine pasture, they can produce milk, quark, butter, yoghurt, cheese and bread on site. Food is served in the cosy rustic-style interior – one area has a view of the cowshed – and on a lovely terrace overlooking the garden.
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.5/5 · 80 reviews
Gasthof Stanglwirt offers seasonal regional cuisine in a unique setting, notably the 'Cow Barn' dining area adjacent to stables. Reviews highlight generally excellent service, with staff praised for attentiveness and flexibility, particularly F&B Manager Jürgen. Food quality is often described as delicious and consistent, though some recent critiques note disappointing dishes and perceived declines in standards. Ambiance is cozy but can be disrupted by children in adult areas. While many return for the traditional Tyrolean hospitality and reliable experience, others find the value questionable given mixed feedback on recent meal quality and portion satisfaction.
Suitable for diners seeking traditional Tyrolean hospitality and the unique 'Cow Barn' experience, though those prioritizing consistent recent food quality should proceed with caution.
