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 hearty pan-fried dish made with sliced potatoes, speck (bacon), onions, and a fried egg on top. A classic mountain meal after hiking or skiing.

  • Kaiserschmarrn: A fluffy, shredded pancake served with powdered sugar and plum compote or apple sauce. Very popular at alpine huts around Jerzens.

  • Speckknödel (Bacon Dumplings): Bread dumplings mixed with Tyrolean speck, usually served in a clear beef broth or with sauerkraut. Warm and filling—perfect alpine comfort food.

  • Kaspressknödel: Flat, fried cheese dumplings made with strong alpine cheese. Often served in soup or on a salad. A staple in Tyrolean mountain huts.

  • Käsespätzle / KasnockenSmall egg noodles baked with aromatic mountain cheese and topped with crispy fried onions. Rich, cheesy, and beloved across Tyrol.
