What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This mountaintop restaurant offers stunning views and traditional Tyrolean cuisine, with many praising the atmosphere and signature dishes like Kaiserschmarrn. However, some diners have experienced issues with unfriendly staff, long wait times, and high prices, particularly for beverages.
"One of most perfect settings for a restaurant/bar in the world situated at the top of the gondola that brings you to the majestic Hahnenkamm. We enjoyed a stunning espresso martini before heading out to explore more of the mountain. Another amazing of example of traditional yet functional Tyrolean building. Staff was extremely helpful and efficient despite being a super high velocity day. Thank you very much for the hospitality!"
Christopher Durocher
"The restaurant has a great atmosphere and a nice setting, but some of the staff were unfriendly, which made the experience less enjoyable. On top of that, the wait time for food was quite long, which was frustrating. While the place has potential, better service and faster delivery would make a big difference."
Abdelaziz Elotmani
"Skiing Kitz and with the low snow cover we were riding the gondola back down. This place was rocking so we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon - great move on our part. It was a packed balcony with lots of people having a great time. Live band playing classic American Rock from the 50/60s and the entire crowd was dancing drinking and enjoying a beautiful sunny day."

How to spend a weekend in Kitzbühel, Austria
If time is short, squeeze in a meal at Hochkitzbühel on the Hahnenkamm — a quick gondola ride from town. Here, dishes such as goulash soup, wiener schnitzel and apple strudel come with an eyeful of the Kitzbüheler Horn or the Grossglockner — Austria’s highest mountain.
Best places to eat in Tyrol
We have enormous fun jumping in the cable car to the legendary Hochkitzbühel bei Tomschy (beitomschy.at) with its awe-inspiring panoramic terrace, where we have the area’s beloved kaiserschmarrn: a thick, chopped-up pancake dredged with icing sugar and served with stewed plums. I guess the rest of the guests will be skiing off all the calories, but not us: we shamefacedly slope back to the cable car that’s virtually attached to the restaurant.
