Barbara Kottke and her brother Hans-Jörg Unterrainer represent the sixth generation at the helm. In their cosy, rustic dining area – or, in summer, on the terrace with a view of the parish church – you can choose between a six-course tasting menu (also available in a pescetarian version) and à la carte dishes. Chef Stefan Birnbacher proposes, for example, a creation he calls "Alpine Waters": a mildly spiced, pickled brook trout served with a wafer-thin layer of lardo, and kohlrabi – pickled and in the form of a cream – along with a broth made with Leogang saffron and seasoned with hemp nut oil. His signature caviar dish ("Black Gold") is another tantalising option. There is also a hearty beef broth or Wiener schnitzel. The owner and his front-of-house team really know their way around the fantastic national and international wine list. Tip: gorgeous guestrooms in the hotel.
