4 Best Restaurants in Eastern Alps, Austria
Although this region contains fine restaurants—in fact, two of the country's top dozen dining establishments are here—most of the dining in the small towns of the Eastern Alps will take place in Gasthöfs or Gasthäuses—chalet-style country hotels and inns with flower-decked balconies and overhanging eaves. Note that in many cases such inns are closed in the off-season, particularly November and possibly April or May.
Betty's Bistro
This casual, light-filled bar-café a few steps from the center of town is the perfect spot to pick up coffee and baguettes or to linger over champagne and cocktails. There's a cozy interior, welcoming outdoor tables, and a great wine, beer, and cocktail list. Betty's is known for Flammkuchen (super thin Alsacian flatbreads, similar to pizza). Meat, vegan, and veggie versions are available but you can also find gourmet baguette sandwiches and tapas.
The Blonde Beans
This tiny, Swedish-run Third-wave coffee shop brews beans from a premium Swedish coffee roaster and serves exceptionally good homemade kanelbullar (Swedish cinnamon buns), as well as vanilla and cardamom variations, plus house-crafted bagels and gourmet sandwiches. It's a great place to grab a sandwich to take on your hike.
