The MICHELIN Guide is back in Austria. Following the last national edition in 2009, restaurateurs in all regions will be recognised for their high-calibre achievements from this year onwards.
The MICHELIN Guide is recognised worldwide as one of the most renowned institutions for rating restaurants. With its clear focus on quality, creativity and craftsmanship in the kitchen, it sets the highest standards in the catering industry. The MICHELIN stars awarded are not only a symbol of exceptional culinary experiences, but also an internationally recognised seal of quality that inspires guests in their search for first-class restaurants. In Austria, the guide reflects the impressive variety of gastronomic highlights - from traditional inns to avant-garde gourmet temples.
The well-known culinary destination of Kitzbühel is delighted to have been awarded a total of two MICHELIN stars - one each for the Berggericht Kitzbühel and Les Deux Kitzbühel, a Bib Gourmand Award and four selected restaurants. Dr Viktoria Veider-Walser, Managing Director of Kitzbühel Tourismus, is delighted with the high-quality awards: "The MICHELIN stars for two Kitzbühel establishments, the Bib Gourmand Award and four other selected establishments are far more than just a gastronomic seal of quality - they are an international commitment to excellence. For Kitzbühel, as a globally recognised destination, they offer the perfect platform to present our culinary offerings at the highest level and further establish Kitzbühel as a favourite destination for discerning travellers."
"Star chef - a dream come true! The MICHELIN is the most important gourmet guide in the world and it is a great honour to be included in it. This award is not only a recognition of our hard work, but also an additional motivation to continue to find the best products and to prepare unique evenings full of flavourful highlights and surprises for our guests at Berggericht Kitzbühel," says Chef de Cuisine Marco Gatterer. The team at Berggericht Kitzbühel - which has been awarded one star - are masters at transforming the best products and seasonal ingredients into culinary memories. "Tyrolean feast" is the name of the menu served in four or six courses, which is also available as a vegetarian option - including a recommendation for a suitable wine pairing, also in a non-alcoholic version. In addition to elements of classic cuisine, modern accents and influences from the chef's Tyrolean homeland are skilfully incorporated time and again - such as the yellowfin mackerel with a coriander and kiwi sauce and the Tyrolean free-range chicken as a ballotine with a poultry farce filling. The ambience of the restaurant on the first floor is stylish and the service is experienced and friendly. They are happy to recommend the right wine to accompany the menu.
Les Deux Kitzbühel also has a star - with a brasserie, bar and outdoor terrace. Opened in February 2024 by Katrin and Fabrice Kieffer, the restaurant is modelled on the popular "Original" in Munich and also offers a sophisticated concept in Kitzbühel. Head chef Marc Fröhlich's menu delights with classics such as "Pâté en Croûte" and "Steak au Poivre", complemented by modern interpretations of classic French dishes. The offer is rounded off by a wine list with 300 selected items. The atmosphere is elegant and lively at the same time, giving the restaurant a certain bistro flair. "A great honour and an even greater surprise - to be awarded a Michelin star within our first year exceeds our expectations. A huge thank you also to the entire team," says a delighted Marc Fröhlich.
The Bib Gourmand
Less well-known than the legendary MICHELIN star, the Bib Gourmand is often considered an insider tip. This award stands for the best value for money in the GUIDE MICHELIN.
Right at the foot of the famous "Streif" and close to the Hahnenkamm cable car, Mocking - Das Wirtshaus is delighted to have received this award. The establishment run by siblings Martin Huber and Andrea Posch offers a rustic charm with plenty of wood and stone in a stylish atmosphere. The dishes are regionally inspired and home-grown vegetables are also used. The dishes from chef Martin Huber's childhood are particularly popular - such as "Daumnidei with baked sauerkraut and apple compote" and "Spinach dumplings with brown butter and mountain cheese". "I see this award as confirmation of our philosophy and for our employees, who give their best every day. We are delighted," says Martin Huber from Kitzbühel.
Four other restaurants were selected in the MICHELIN Guide: Lois Stern, Restaurant Neuwirt, ZUMA - all three in Kitzbühel - and Zum Tischlerwirt in Reith bei Kitzbühel.
