Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello -- We're a family of 4 (college age kids) from Florida. Going to St. Anton the week after Christmas. Probably with the rest of the world, but school/work schedules are what they are. Never been skiing in Europe. Can anyone tell me if dinner reservations will be required at the more casual restaurants/pubs? We're not "fine dining" folks -- more interested in good, casual food (local or otherwise) and cocktails, lively atmosphere, etc. I don't want to make a bunch of reservations way in advance and plan the whole thing out. Same time. I don't want to get stuck getting takeaway pizza every night either. Appreciate the input - thanks.

For lunch, usually not but if you want to guarantee a particular restaurant then i would reserve.
For evenings then yes it would be reccomended. But you can often book on the day or better a day or so before if you are willing to be flexible about the time, or even restaurant.
casual and lively, evenings and central/nasserein - st antonio, maximillion, cafe schneider, bobos (tex-mex), anthonies, theos, bodega (tapas - no reservations, always full), galzig bistro (small - reserve), dorfstube, burgers and apres in murmel bar,

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@mikerol, welcome to snowHeads!
In St. Anton if you want good casual local food then I quite like the Fuhrmanstube.

Advisable to book something new years eve as everything is booked up. Unless you're off to bed early.
Anyone flying from Zurich Airport on Thursday 4th of January I have a booking at 6am for transfer from St anton. I have space and looking to fill a car. Three spots available.
I go to St anton every new years. Recommendations for food. Giggles, cafe schneider, steakhouse at hotel sporthotel on main street, Rendl beach for lunch up Rendl, tapas at Bodega, Griabli restaurant by mooserwirt fir lunch.
Any more advice needed DM me!

@Tadhgog -- Thank you! For NY Eve, will it be fun to kind of walk the streets and take it as it comes if we're just looking to have drinks and catch some live music vs. a sit down dinner? Or will even the bars and pubs require reservations to get in the door? I envision the wife making it to about 10p and my daughters and I getting after it a bit.
Also, I'd love to tag along on that Jan 4 ride to Zurich, but have already booked train tix. We don't fly out until Jan 5. Plus I have 4 people, not 3.

Ya strolling the streets new years eve is a better option. Bar Cuba, Rosanas and Murmel are lively pubs to drop into. They will be busy new years eve. Pub 37 next to murmel has 37 seats but last new years eve I dropped in there we got seats and it was perfect.
At midnight the streets are packed for fireworks show.
Giggls are doing a €100 per person gala dinner menu and live music from 10pm on. You're guaranteed a spot in a bar there with that which you might not be without a booking but as I said you would get into a bar albeit busy!
I wouldn't worry too much about new years eve. The apres ski scene at mooser krazy and taps is what it's all about. Dropped you a DM with my email if you want more advice or a baby guinness on the slopes!
