I am staying in Hinterbichl for 8 days and decided to go to Gasthof Islitzeralm for my evening meal, up to now the food has been great! Great value for your money as well. I am on a business trip which started off in Kandersteg in Switzerland where the food was a bit overpriced, so to pay €6,50 for a big plate of Spaghetti Bolognese is absolutely brilliant.

A genuine Austrian restaurant with Austrian specialties, own production of cheese, butter and own flesh and own grown vegetables. After 2 ½ hours of hiking you will be up to the restaurant with a breathtaking view and wonderful food and service of the staff. There are family members who work there. Very reasonably priced food and drink.

waiting for 1 hour for a simple pizza and pasta. In my pizza was a large piece of sharp plastic. if I would have swallowed it i would now have been in hospital! The taste of the pizza was not very good compared to a real italian pizza from, for example , La Puccia in Grado Italy. But of course that is a matter of taste. I can not recomment the pizza nor the pasta which had a verry thin taste. Curious was that the waitress talked to us with a german-italian accent, but to some local girls without any accent at all. As compensation my pizza was not added to the bill.

We found this restaurant by accident while driving to our accommodation after a day's outing. The menu choice was wide, at reasonable prices, although not the cheapest. To find roast lamb on an Austrian menu is unusual, even more so when it's so tasty. My wife had the Wiener schnitzel, which was large and well-prepared. For dessert, I had the "fitness becher", with yoghourt ice cream and fruit. The fruit was all freshly prepared, a surprise as it is so often tinned. All in all a good experience, and we will hopefully return when we are in the area again.

Heaven so near: amidst the spectacular Grossglockner mountain scenery, modern architecture reaches towards the clouds of style and enjoyment. With more than 60 three-thousand meter peaks in front of you, chilling, dining, staying overnight or simply ‘being above it all’ at the Adler Lounge is easy.

This restaurant’s main selling point is the breathtaking view. To reach the restaurant you need to take several cable lifts from Matrei, from Kals it is only one cable lift, but it’s worth it. You can see Alps all around you. If you are a skier it a perfect place to take a rest and enjoy the atmosphere of the alpen skiing life. We really enjoyed the Terrace with the sun seats. The restaurant is very nicely furbished, modern yet comfortable. The food was great and would keep you going for the rest of skiing day. The spinach-cheese dumplings with tomatoes were really delicious. The only problem was the service. If you come at the busy lunch hour, it could easily take 1.5 hours to have the lunch. It’s better to come before 11.30 or after 14:00 if you just want a quick meal. To get their attention took quite some time as there were many people wanting to have lunch there. It took us 30 minutes before the waitress came to us. Then we waited another 30 minutes for the food – if you have an intention to have a lunch there while skiing it will take you around 1,5hours. But overall we like the restaurant and the charming mountain views.

We visited this restaurant with six other people. Although we had booked beforehand, the restaurant area is quite large and we had plenty of room. The staff were welcoming and spoke a certain amount of English. Food was good and plentiful. Would certainly go back again.

Fantastic choice of local Austrian dishes made of local supplies in a typical farm-type restaurant environment. At times even freshly hunted chamois can be ordered, a rare mountain specialty. Warm welcome and kind service. Great value for money. Will return tonight!

Well apparently this is not the right place looking for Michelin Star kind of kitchen.
But if you are looking for Austria's traditional dishes you are at the right place. You find a selection of dishes freshly cooked from fresh ingredients and well served. Vegetables and meat are cooked to the right point as ordered.
Typically you have to watch out as in particular the dishes served in pans are really hot out if the stove. Size of the dishes goes ok even if you are hungry after hiking or skiing - though don't expect oversized portion - it is just about right.
The service is really nice and and very fast. If you are showing up with some more people, a lager family or so, they just try to get you seated as nice as possible, if space is left. And for the smaller ones they have kids menus available.
Wine card I've not tested.
Price of the dishes are very fair and affordable.
Interior style is the kind of "Austrian rustique" - which is not my personal favor but it is all nice and clean.
Situated is the restaurant left from the Main Street if you go downhill but you have to watch out for the signs. Good thing it is still in heart of Matrei and even after a few more beer there is no need for a car as it is walking distance to any place within Matrei.

Wandering the streets looking for dinner and followed a large group into this restaurant.
Spotlessly clean and very welcoming. Owner was charming and very friendly and funny.
Excellent wines and freshly cooked pizza and calzone.
Nice to have something Italian which made a change.
Would not hesitate to recommend.
