Innsbruck food tour: traditional Tyrolean dishes

Rated 5 out of 5 by 6 GetYourGuide reviewers

A proper Tyrolean meal spread across four or more stops: cheese and cured meats, Käsespätzle, Gröstl, goulash or dumplings and apple strudel, with a glass of wine and a local beer. Food lovers and first-time visitors who want to eat like a local will love it. The one thing to know: come hungry, as this replaces dinner.

Starts inInnsbruck city centreAll year

You meet your English-speaking guide in front of the Liberation Monument in the middle of Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz (Landhausplatz), a short walk from Maria-Theresien-Strasse. Groups are small, never more than 12, so it feels like eating out with friends.

The first hour is a stop for regional food, such as a board of Tyrolean cheeses and cured meats. Then you sit down at a local restaurant for the heart of the meal. The listed dishes are Käsespätzle, soft egg noodles with melted cheese and crispy onions; Tiroler Gröstl, a pan-fried mix of potatoes, meat and onions; Rindsgulasch or Knödel; and a freshly baked pretzel.

Next comes a local beer at a bar the guide knows well, and between stops you hear the stories behind the food and the streets you are walking through.

The tour ends after about three hours in a café in the old town with apple strudel. Drinks include water, a glass of wine and a local beer.

In winter

Hearty, warming dishes such as Käsespätzle, Gröstl and goulash are at their best on a cold evening, and the old town is lit up for Advent from mid November. Dress warmly for the short walks between stops.

In summer

Light, long days make the walks between stops a pleasure, and the tour finishes in the old town, well placed for an evening stroll along the Inn.
