Your destination offers many restaurants that provide international cuisine. However, it is possible to locate reputable restaurants that offer tasty local food.

Typical food from the region is: 

Tiroler Gröstl: A classic Tyrolean skillet dish made of pan-fried potatoes, onions, and speck (smoked bacon), usually topped with a fried egg. Popular after a day on the mountain.

Kaspressknödel: Cheese dumplings made with strong alpine cheese (typically Bergkäse). Often served in broth (Kaspressknödelsuppe) or with salad.

Kiachl: A traditional Tyrolean fried dough pastry. It can be sweet (served with cranberry sauce or powdered sugar) or savory (filled with sauerkraut).

Speckknödel: Bread dumplings with Tyrolean speck. Often served in soup or with sauerkraut. A staple of mountain hut menus.

Tiroler Speck & Bergkäse: Not a dish but essential local specialties. Dry-cured Tyrolean speck and strong mountain cheese are commonly enjoyed on a Brettljause (wooden board snack platter).
