€€€€Creative
Located in the city centre, on the Old Town side of the Inn River, this is a compact restaurant with clean, modern decor. Working in an open kitchen, the chefs craft two distinct set menus – one vegetarian, the other with meat and/or fish. The cuisine is ambitious, rooted in classic culinary tradition yet refined with modern techniques. Select ingredients go into harmoniously flavoursome dishes such as "Alpine prawn, Swiss chard, peanut, plum" and "venison, porcini, spinach, berbere". Fine wine pairings and homemade non-alcoholic beverage pairings available. Attentive, professional service.

€€€Seasonal Cuisine
A popular establishment in a prime location in the centre of the old town, right in the pedestrianised precinct. The appealing combination of restaurant and bar (look out for the interesting cocktails) makes for a lively atmosphere with an "urban brasserie" feel. Top-notch ingredients are used to create tasty and contemporary seasonal cuisine, which in the evening comes as a three- or four-course set menu as well as à la carte. The smaller and simpler lunchtime menu includes one or two dishes from the evening menu. Tip for motorists: You can park in the ‘Kaufhaus Tyrol’ garage.

The location of this restaurant is not only spectacular, but also handy for doing a spot of shopping in the RathausGalerien mall before taking the lift up to the seventh floor for dinner. Here on the top floor, the upscale restaurant has all-round windows and a magnificent view of Innsbruck and the surrounding mountains – in summer, the charm of the terrace is irresistible! In the 360° bar you can drink in the marvellous panoramic view as you enjoy an aperitif, nightcap or coffee. The kitchen serves delicious international and regional dishes.

€€€Classic Cuisine
The smart, modern interior design of this place verges on the minimalist, creating an inviting and really stylish atmosphere. First and foremost, though, it is Elisabeth Geisler's cuisine that draws guests to this restaurant on the first floor of what was once the Gilmschule, whose listed façade forms an interesting contrast with the modern architecture of the Stadtforum. Aromatic dishes with a clear structure, such as turbot fillet with a beautifully spiced and reduced beurre blanc or crispy tarte Tatin of carrot, parsnip and celeriac are available as part of a set menu or à la carte.

€€€Traditional Cuisine, Alpine
The history of this old inn stretches back to the 16C, and the Schatz family has run it with great dedication since 1985. The Tyrolean influence is evident both in the interior design and on the menu. Flavoursome traditional dishes prepared using excellent, mostly local produce are served in various cosy dining rooms. Among the dishes to try are the Tyrolean veal liver with a creamy caper sauce, wine soup with toasted white bread croutons, or the delectable spinach ravioli with melted butter and chives. And be sure to sample the wonderful Sachertorte. Friendly and adept service.
