In Vorarlberg, there is plenty for visitors to feast their eyes on, whether it’s the delicious cuisine or the stunning views. But anyone who has been out to eat in Vorarlberg will know that these are best enjoyed together, in order to turn a meal into a real experience. Vorarlberg offers something to suit everyone’s taste (and budget). And the diversity of Vorarlberg is also reflected in how different each panorama can be.
In the midst of nature
Fans of untouched nature should be sure to visit “Seilbahn Stuba” the small village of Sonntag. The restaurant serves up a wide range of local specialities and, situated near the cable car station, it offers wonderful views of the “Grosses Walsertal Biosphere Park ”. The mountain panorama on the Arlberg is also a sight to behold. A good place to enjoy this unique natural spectacle is “Rud-Alpe”. The traditional Lech ski lodge in the heart of the skiing area serves traditional Austrian specialities. In winter, the snow-white panorama is dotted with romantic little huts.
A taste of village life
Enjoy local hospitality and views over the extensive landscape marked by small villages and their harmonious architecture. A good place to do so is Gasthaus Hoheneck in Mittelberg. Thanks to its high-quality regional cuisine, the traditional restaurant is no longer a local secret in Kleinwalsertal. You can also enjoy a traditional taste of Vorarlberg in the Bregenzerwald valley: The Wälderhof in Lingenau is surrounded by spacious meadows and picturesque villages. Although situated in a rural area, this hotel and its restaurant boast a modern interior that leaves nothing to be desired. On the menu you will find many fresh ideas, prepared with equally fresh and regional ingredients by widely travelled head chef Bernhard Muxel. The Wälderhof is also a cheese host on the KäseStrasse Bregenzerwald, so you can look forward to a range of delicacies made from and with cheese.
Special spiritual spots
From the Gebhardsberg restaurant, you can enjoy one of the best views of the Lake Constance region. The panorama and the energy that emanate from this place have been appreciated in Bregenz for centuries. Construction of the first castle began here in 1097, and the building has since been transformed into an elegant restaurant with a medieval ambience. The oldest part of the building, the water tower, houses a wine cellar where more than 100 varieties of wine from Austria’s best wineries are stored. Kristberg in the Montafon valley has also developed into a spiritual site over the years. It is home to Panoramagasthof Kristberg , which offers bon vivants a place to relax and recuperate. The Zudrell family that runs it has dedicated itself to healthy cuisine, and head chef Eric Gonglach spoils his guests with regional dishes made using the most natural ingredients.
