Kitzbühel Special, Part 3 – The culinary arts
One thing in advance: people have always eaten well in Kitzbühel. Fine inn cuisine, paired with first-class products from the surrounding area stand now once for a winter sports oasis, in which not only the local residents, but also guests from all over the world should feel comfortable. And the more demanding the clientele, the more inventive the cuisine. Jürgen Kleinhappl, Styrian with stations in the Trofana Royal in Ischgl, the restaurant Saziani in Straden and the Steirereck in Vienna, who has taken over the culinary management of all Harisch businesses for 4 years, which also includes the gourmet restaurant “Neuwirt” in the Hotel Schwarzer Adler, knows this. “The audience is constantly changing, so we have to keep up,” Kleinhappl said. “That means we’re going more regional and also upgrading the wine cellars to meet first-class standards.” The aim is not to win prizes, but simply to make quality our top priority. Kleinhappl: “We have to adapt the offer to the future guest. Whether it’s the gourmet menu or the price-performance ratio, we simply realize that the guest’s expectations have changed and we have to respond to that.”
In the meantime, Kitzbühel has become a year-round destination, but not all establishments follow the call and increasingly focus on winter tourism. One example is the “Zuma”, housed in the 5-star hotel “Weißes Rössl”, which is only open from the beginning of December to the end of March. “The team comes partly from Dubai, partly from summer vacation spots like Ibiza, Mykonos, Portofino.” Since the end of 2019, Japanese system gastronomy has been a permanent fixture in Kitzbühel. Kleinhappl, who of course knows about the restaurant’s occupancy rate, is convinced: “Zuma is actually proof that there would still be room for two or three others here.”
Whether classic Austrian, Italian or Asian – we introduce you to the best restaurants in Kitzbühel:
