Restaurants and other food service establishments

For an ideal culinary experience, it’s not just the food that matters—the atmosphere plays an equally important role. And Osttirol certainly doesn’t disappoint in this regard: The Old Town is lined with cozy cafés that exude a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s about quality over quantity, conviviality over mass tourism, and taking your time rather than rushing. The old town’s Mediterranean charm is also reflected in the numerous ice cream parlors that have established themselves in Osttirol amid towering mountain ranges.

Stroll through the picturesque alleys of the old town with a scoop of homemade ice cream and, if you get the chance, stop by the “Osttirol de Luxe” stands, which have already made a name for themselves throughout the city with their excellent cuisine of the highest caliber. In the summer, both locals and vacationers enjoy these regional creations, served in a rustic atmosphere right on Lienz’s main square. Here, foodies will find the perfect opportunity to sample exquisite dishes created by top chefs and let the finest local products melt in their mouths. In Osttirol, guests can also expect a wide range of exclusive , award-winning cuisine, for example at the restaurant “Im Stadl” or at the Parkhotel Tristacher See.
