When I need a change from dumplings and noodles, I book in to this restaurant named after its chef/owner, Irmgard Sitzwohl. The look is contemporary; menus feature fresh, organic produce; and the clean flavours show Mediterranean influences. Not that dishes are simple: organic pike fillets might be pan-fried and served with a creamy wild garlic risotto; strudel comes as a main course, stuffed with bacon and potato and sauced with a chive dip.

Stylishly modern, with a functional yet intimate atmosphere, Sitzwohl has built up a solid reputation for superb cuisine, with an emphasis on Mediterranean and Tyrolean dishes. Chanterelle mushroom stew with dumplings or black gnocchi with wild salmon and fennel are favorites here. Lunchtime service is quick and efficient for business diners, but the evenings are more relaxed.

When you are planning a trip to Innsbruck and you are looking for a place to eat, it’s imperative to go to Sitzwohl Restaurant because it is one of the best and one of the most popular restaurants in the city. Attaining 2 toques and 15 points at the Gault Millau’s 2016 edition, Irmgard Sitzwohl and Elisabeth Geisler, the two outstanding female chefs who run the kitchen take the diners for a delicious gastronomic spin by putting together local delicacies with Mediterranean characteristics. Being robust and rich, Austrian cuisine is reinvented in their kitchen with simplicity and delicate touches of aromas and flavors.

Gault Millau also features several other fine restaurants in its latest edition: The Sitzwohl, Lichtblick, on the top floor of the stylish Rathausgalerien mall, is one of Innsbruck’s most spectacular spots; Schindler – scoring with stylish interior design and unique views of Maria-Theresien-Strasse; Trattoria da Peppino – serving award-winning dishes with an international twist, widely renowned for its superb Italian specialties, and – for the first time in 2012 – Innsbruck’s Café Sacher proudly carries 1 toque and 14 points.

„Schon als Kind wollte ich kochen und begeistern, weil ich selbst so gerne gegessen habe“, sagt Elisabeth Geisler – heute ist sie Küchenchefin und Geschäftsführerin des Innsbrucker Top-Restaurants Sitzwohl. Das im ersten Stock einer ehemaligen Knabenschule angesiedelte Lokal fasziniert sowohl architektonisch als auch kulinarisch. Das mit zwei Hauben des Gault&Millau ausgezeichnete Restaurant serviert eine spannende Fusion aus österreichischer Hausmannskost und mediterraner sowie asiatischer Küche.

Centrally located within the former Gilmschule building, this stylish eatery with its almost intimate ambience is managed by Elisabeth Geisler and Irmgard Sitzwohl. Their inspired cuisine is marked by exquisite simplicity, an aromatic and refined blend of regional specialities and rich Mediterranean flavours, in short a perfect treat for all those in search of a quick lunch or planning a relaxed night out with friends.

Restaurant Sitzwohl might be the best in town, run by two hatted, female chefs, where mushroom dumplings rival black gnocchi in the taste stakes. I also love the old-world appeal of wood-panelled Ottoburg, which makes me feel as if I’m dining inside a cuckoo clock. It provides a mean Tafelspitz – Austrian boiled beef flavoured with onion, celery root, juniper berries and spices – followed by warm apple strudel.

The award-winning restaurant in the city center combines Austrian home cooking with Mediterranean and Asian influences. Under the leadership of head chef Elisabeth Geisler, dishes such as the octopus gröstl are created, perfectly embodying the love of local produce and Italian-Iberian ingredients. It's a culinary experience that masterfully combines simplicity with quality.

Das Haubenrestaurant im Zentrum vereint österreichische Hausmannskost mit mediterranen und asiatischen Einflüssen. Unter der Führung von Chefköchin Elisabeth Geisler entstehen Gerichte wie das Oktopusgröstl, das die Liebe zu lokalen Produkten und italo-iberischen Zutaten perfekt verkörpert. Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis, das Einfachheit meisterhaft mit Qualität verbindet.

Das Restaurant Sitzwohl bietet ebenfalls sehr gutes Essen (internationale Küche) und ist schlicht-modern eingerichtet (fast etwas zu kühl für meinen Geschmack). Zentral gelegen, viel Privatsphäre am Tisch, aufmerksamer Service. Für besondere Abende eine gute Wahl, höheres Preisniveau.

The list of the best restaurants in Innsbruck is headed by Sitzwohl in Stadtforum (Austrian and Italian cuisine) and Trattoria de Peppino on Kirschentalgasse, 6 (Italian cuisine). The price range in these Innsbruck restaurants is quite large: you can dine for 30 or 150 EUR.

Ein Genusstempel der besonderen Art ist das Sitzwohl in der Gilmschule. In zentraler Lage (vis-à-vis dem Hotel Zentral) kannst du hier der Hektik des Alltags entfliehen. Oder von einer Shopping-Tour auf der Maria-Theresien-Straße zum Essen und Trinken einkehren.

In my opinion, the best dining in Innsbruck is currently at Restaurant Sitzwohl, where my acquaintance can enjoy a good wine list and Austrian cusine with Mediterranean touch. Sitzwohl is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 AM – 2 AM.

Boasting eye-catching architecture, Sitzwohl is known throughout Innsbruck and beyond for its excellent food. The restaurant’s terrace is well worth checking out – a good place to cool off in the centre of the city on a hot summer’s day.
