  2. Gasthaus zur Triftsperre

    It's an easy and enjoyable 3km cycle (or stroll) along the Ilz River to this earthy beer garden and restaurant. Regulars are drawn by the homemade cakes and fresh trout. If you don't feel like pedalling back, you could rent one of the rooms.

  3. Gasthof 3 Linden

    Gleaming modular timber furniture and geometric floors give Gasthof 3 Linden a sleek retro feel. The credo here is 'the Bavarian sausage is the beer's best friend', but meatless dishes include spinach pasta in Gorgonzola cream sauce, and salads (say if you don't want them swimming in vinaigrette). Good kids' menu, too. Try the house cocktail of cold champagne, Innstadt beer and fresh fruit.

  4. Heilig-Geist-Stift-Schenke

    Not only does the 'Holy Spirit Foundation' have a succession of walnut-panelled rooms, a candlelit cellar (open from ) and a vine-draped garden (reflecting its own wine), but the food is equally inspired. Specialities include Spiessbraten (marinated meat licked by a beechwood fire) and fish plucked live from the concrete trough.

    Theresienstrasse and its offshoots buzz with places to eat, drink and hang out, such as this hot spot serving outstanding thin-crust pizzas, tasty pastas and generous appetisers.

  6. Zum Grünen Baum

    Eccentric design touches such as a 'cutlery chandelier' adorn this quirky restaurant, which serves organic beer and wine and excellent desserts (ask for the unlisted 'variety platter'). The toy-filled back room is a winner with families.
