The Zillertal
With its tiled oven and all-wood interior, this Gasthöfe is as gorgeously Tyrolean as they come. On the meaty menu are home-cooked dishes prepared with top-quality regional ingredients and hearty specials from the family butchery, including game goulash with dumplings, crispy knuckle of pork in black beer jus and bang-on-the-money steaks. There are plenty of veggie options, too.
Save an inch for the platter of regional cheeses with homemade bread and fig jam.
