Read our guide to the best bars and restaurants in St Anton, both on and off the mountain.

St Anton has plenty of restaurants, but some are worth booking before you travel. Hospiz Alm and Verwallstube are favourites for lunch on the mountain, while the village offers everything from traditional Tyrolean food to Michelin-starred dining. Here’s where we suggest going for lunch, dinner and après-ski.

  • For a long mountain lunch: Hospiz Alm or Verwallstube
  • For a special dinner: Tannenhof or Alpin Gourmet Stube
  • For a relaxed dinner: Sonnegg near Nasserein
  • For après-ski: MooserWirt for the full St. Anton experience or Anton Bar for a quieter drink beside the Galzig gondola.

Restaurants on the mountain

Verwallstube

At 2,085 metres beside the top station of the Galzigbahn, Verwallstube is worth setting aside time for at lunch. The menu ranges from Tyrolean gröstl made with beef fillet to more international dishes, with mountain views from the dining room. Non-skiers can join you by gondola. On Thursday evenings, it also opens for candlelit dinner, with guests travelling back down by gondola afterwards.

Thony’s

On Gampen, Thony’s is a relaxed place to meet for lunch, especially if your group has been skiing at different speeds. The kitchen puts its own spin on mountain food; the dishes it currently recommends include Kaiserschmarrn and crisp roast chicken at weekends. There is a bar too, if lunch runs into another round of drinks.

Rendl Restaurant

At the top of the Rendlbahn, Rendl Restaurant is self-service, making it handy when you want a quick bite to eat. The menu includes Austrian dishes, sushi, and wok options. If the weather is good, you can head next door to Rendl Beach Bar for a drink with views across the mountains.

Kaminstube am Moos

Beside the slope above St Anton, Kaminstube am Moos serves both lunch and dinner. Dishes might include Arlberg rösti and cheese spätzle; whilst dinner has a separate menu served in the fireplace dining room. The wine list is put together by the hotel’s sommelier, Stefan. Reserve a table for either meal.

Sennhütte

Located at the bottom of Piste 1, Sennhütte is a more traditional mountain stop. There is a large terrace for sunny days, a wood-lined interior when you want to warm up, and live music during the winter. The menu includes Tyrolean favourites, and Kaiserschmarrn served with apple sauce and plum compote. It is also popular for a drink before the final descent into St. Anton.

Arlberg Thaja - St Christoph

Beside piste 64 in St Christoph, Arlberg Thaja is home to a cosy dining room and sunny terrace. Come hungry: its recent winter menu included cheese spätzle topped with roasted onions, Tyrolean gröstl and the Thaja Alm Sandwich, filled with slow-cooked pulled pork and the restaurant’s own sauce.

Hospiz Alm - St Christoph

At Hospiz Alm in St Christoph, the wine cellar deserves as much attention as the lunch menu. Order Wiener schnitzel or a steak, followed by the Hospiz Kaiserschmarrn, then ask to see the cellar’s Bordeaux collection. Skiers can stop at the terrace beside the piste, while anyone joining them for lunch can arrive by car or private shuttle. Book ahead if you have a particular day in mind.

Restaurants for a special dinner

Tannenhof

Perfect for a celebration, Tannenhof holds two Michelin stars and offers both a tasting menu and an à la carte option. It has an intimate dining room, so book as early as you can if there is a particular evening you would like to go.

Alpin Gourmet Stube

There are only six tables at Alpin Gourmet Stube, in Hotel Gletscherblick in St Jakob. Chef Paul Markovics changes the menu monthly, with dishes shaped by what is in season. It holds one Michelin star and welcomes diners who are not staying at the hotel. If you enjoy a tasting menu in a small dining room, this would be an excellent evening to plan ahead.

Ullrs Gourmetstube

At Ullrhaus in the centre of St Anton, Ullrs Gourmetstube serves a nine-course tasting menu with Alpine, Japanese and Nordic influences. Chef Erkan Cakir and patron Michael Gfall lead the kitchen, which gained a Michelin star in 2026. The dining room has just four large tables, so book well in advance.

ELEMENTS

At Arpuria, ELEMENTS serves tasting menus from Thursday to Saturday, with a vegetarian menu alongside the classic one. Chef Noemi Zagoni draws on ingredients from Tyrol and further afield. The latest menus include Alpine char and beef from Pettneu, while the vegetarian courses feature dishes such as spinach dumplings with oyster mushrooms. It’s worth reserving in advance.

Endlich

Danish hosts Henrik and Henriette make dinner at Endlich feel personal. They serve a surprise menu, with wine pairings if you would like them, in a small and sociable dining room. Reservations are essential.

Hazienda

Hazienda has been part of St Anton’s restaurant scene since 1985. Today, chef Johannes Scherl serves contemporary dishes drawing on Austrian, Italian and Asian cooking in the m3 Hotel. There is an extensive wine list, and the restaurant’s bar is somewhere you may want to stay for another drink after dinner.

Schwarzer Adler

Dinner at Schwarzer Adler is served in a traditional Tyrolean dining room. Chef Stephan Dialer offers an à la carte menu alongside a changing three-course recommendation; recent dishes have included local venison loin with celeriac purée, potato and nut dumplings, and juniper sauce.

Museum

Museum is housed in a villa dating from 1912, which also contains St Anton’s ski museum. Dinner is served in wood-panelled rooms that feel a world away from the busier restaurants in the centre. The kitchen serves Austrian dishes, though the menu changes with the season.

Restaurants for relaxed dinners

Sonnegg

Sonnegg is near Nasserein and serves both lunch and dinner. Expect dishes like truffle tagliolini and a duo of duck. The restaurant has a welcoming, informal feel, and is especially convenient if you are staying at this end of St. Anton.

Galzig Bistrobar

Galzig Bistrobar is close to the Galzig and Rendl lifts, so you can come straight from skiing if you do not feel like returning to the chalet first. Enjoy dishes such as the Galzig burger and Thai curry soup with tempura prawn. It is casual, busy and convenient, particularly if you like to eat early.

PURA

At Arpuria, PURA serves à la carte dinners centred on regional ingredients. Familiar favourites sit alongside dishes that change daily with the season, giving you the choice to return and try something different. The approach is contemporary but relaxed, with no fixed tasting menu to follow.

Schindler

At Schindler, dinner is served in two traditional Tyrolean parlours. The à la carte menu combines regional cooking with more contemporary dishes, while Christian’s wine list gives you plenty to explore alongside it.

International cuisine

Bodega Tapas Bar

For an evening away from Austrian food, Bodega Tapas Bar serves Spanish tapas and wine in the centre of St Anton. Order a selection of plates to share and expect a lively atmosphere. The restaurant does not accept reservations, so arriving early is advised to avoid long waits.

Skiing Buddha

The setting may surprise you: Skiing Buddha is inside the arl.rock climbing centre. It serves Thai and Japanese food, including takeaway, and is ideal when you want a change from the village’s Alpine menus.

Q – Taste the Night

Q brings Asian fusion food and house music to the centre of St Anton. The menu is designed for sharing, with dishes such as crispy tuna tacos with avocado and mango, chicken gyoza, bao buns and sushi rolls. It is a lively choice for dinner, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays, when the music continues late into the evening.

Après-ski bars

Anton Bar

At the foot of the Galzigbahn, Anton Bar is a comfortable first stop after skiing. It has a fireplace and views towards the lift station, and you can usually have a conversation without competing with the music. Start here if you are not quite ready for St Anton’s bigger après-ski bars.

Heustadl

Heustadl sits beside the Blue 1 run back towards the village. Its terrace and live music make it a popular stop on the way down, whether you stay for one drink or a little longer.

Griabli

Griabli is another slope-side option, with a wooden Stube, an open fire and a fondness for rock music. Go inside for a drink when the weather is cold, or stay for one of its live bands if your group is in the mood for more après-ski.

Taps

Taps is on the slope above St Anton, with a sunny terrace, an ice bar and a DJ playing from mid-afternoon. There’s food if you’re hungry after skiing, including burgers, pizza and its chilli beef nachos. It’s one to stop at on your way down, with time to enjoy a drink before heading into town.

Fanghouse

Right beside the Nassereinbahn, Fanghouse is an easy meeting point if you’re finishing your ski day on the Nasserein side of St Anton. It’s a small, lively bar where you can come straight off the lift for a drink, with DJs and parties on selected nights.

MooserWirt

MooserWirt needs little introduction. It fills up in the afternoon with skiers dancing, singing and ordering another round before heading back to St Anton. If you want to experience the resort’s famous après-ski scene, this is where to go.

Krazy Kanguruh

Across the slope from MooserWirt, Krazy Kanguruh is another St Anton institution. Its outdoor terrace draws a lively international crowd, with music and dancing starting well before the lifts close. Plan your route back to the village before settling in.

Murrmel Bar

For live music after skiing, head to Murrmel in the centre of St Anton. Performers play in the early evening, with DJs taking over later. There are burgers and chicken wings if you’re hungry, and you can drop in straight after skiing or come back for a drink after dinner.
