Poster: A snowHead
|
We're off to St Anton tomorrow, staying B&B (Hotel Schindler). Rather belatedly I'm looking for recommendations for decent restaurants for dinner, preferably somewhere with a bit of character and not too expensive.
As there's only so much pig and dumpling one can take (in my case, quite a lot) any suggestions for Italians, Mexicans, that sort of thing, welcome, as well as for gemutlich Austrian joints.

richmond, I can't remember what it's called but there's a great french/modern european restaurant near the ice-rink in town. Booking is recommended but if you go in about half seven for dinner it's practically deserted. Gets a lot busier later on. Good wine list too, and complimentary schnapps at the end! I'll try googling for the name of the place

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

Off there in March for the first time. I look forward to your gourment review of the slopeside cafes/ restaurants and a reccomendation for our one night evening meal out(please). Also would welcome (if not hijacking the thread) the recommendations on the most do slopes/runs for confident on piste skiers (off psite being a different matter).

Maximillian on the main road by the Spar was good. I know the one enaikay78 mentions, cant remember the name of it, but its a very posh looking place upstairs not too far from the Maximillian IIRC. The Train on the back street the Underground used to be on was also very good.

I like Cafe Sailer a lot, next to the tourist office. Typical Austrian food, nice!

richmond, Haus Schindler itself has a good chef. Order the lamb in advance!
For good but expensive food:
The restaurant in the wellness complex by the ice rink is Ben Venuto - a cross of oriental and italian. Superb (minimalist) food (but interesting prices)
Hazienda on the main Dorfstrasse is a favorite amongst monied locals.
For steaks try Sport Hotel
For Pizzas try Floriani (near Schindler) for a quiet one (but not on a Monday) or Pomodorio to see lots of people (expect to queue)
But there are loads of restaurants.
PS: Personally, I would give the Chinese restaurant a miss

Whoops, forgot the Museum
Floriani Pizza is the one opposite (or near anyway) Schindler
Underground has really good Green Thai Curry and Thai soup

The only decent restaurant around there has since gone & been replaced
It was called D'Kuchl and was excellent.
Unfortunatly many restuarants have/are packing up in St Anton mainly becuase of the Chalet market and also because there is not enough money in it.
Some of the casulties this season include
Amalies Cafe
Cafe Sailor
