Restaurant in Fiss, Austria
One Michelin star, alpine setting, book early.
A Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurant inside Fiss's Schlosshotel at 1,436 metres, Beef Club delivers technically accomplished modern cooking from a four- or six-course menu, serious Austrian and international wines, and skilled service. At the €€€ price point, it sits a full tier below most comparable starred rooms in Austria. Open Tuesday to Saturday evenings only; book four to six weeks out during ski and summer peak seasons.
Beef Club earns its Michelin star and deserves a booking from any serious food-and-wine traveller passing through the Tyrolean Alps. Housed inside the Schlosshotel at 1,436 metres above sea level in Fiss, this is a genuinely strong tasting-menu destination: technically accomplished, confident in its wine programme, and capable of holding its own against equivalent Michelin-starred rooms in Vienna or Munich. Book it for a special dinner during a ski or mountain stay. At the €€€ price point, it offers noticeably better value than the €€€€ tier that dominates Austria's fine-dining scene. The catch: it opens only Tuesday through Saturday from 6:30 PM, with Monday and Sunday closed, so plan accordingly.
The room signals intent immediately. Dark, considered, and dressed with an elegance that feels deliberately urban against the alpine setting, Beef Club's interior puts the food first rather than leaning on mountain-chalet atmosphere. The spatial register is closer to a confident city restaurant than a hotel dining room. That contrast — serious modern cooking, 1,436 metres up, inside a schloss — is part of the reason Michelin noted it would be right at home in Vienna or Munich. For travellers who fear that resort dining means compromised ambition, this room provides a clear counter-argument.
The tasting menu is the reason to be here. Chefs Mathias Seidel and Nikolaus Platteter offer the Beef Club Menu in four or six courses, bookended by amuse-bouches and petits fours. The architecture of the menu follows a contemporary European progression: lighter, more delicate courses early , as demonstrated by a listed creation of Tristan crayfish with wakame, radish, and green apple , building toward richer, more substantial territory. The à la carte selection adds a different register entirely: grilled cuts from the Big Green Egg, which gives carnivores a compelling alternative to the set-menu format without sacrificing kitchen seriousness. A vegetarian set menu is also available, a practical detail that matters if your group has mixed dietary requirements.
Wine programme is one of the strongest arguments for booking the full experience rather than eating à la carte. The list spans Austrian and international bottles, with particular depth in Romanée-Conti and Ornellaia, plus an unusual emphasis on magnum and double magnum formats. For a mountain-resort hotel restaurant, that level of cellar ambition is rare. The by-the-glass pairings track the menu intelligently, and a non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment is available for those who want structured pairing without alcohol. Service is described as skilful , precise without stiffness, which is the right register for a room of this calibre.
Google rating of 4.8 across 115 reviews suggests consistent execution rather than occasional brilliance, which matters for a destination where you may have travelled specifically for the meal. Michelin awarded the star in 2024, making this a relatively recent recognition , one that reflects current kitchen form rather than a legacy reputation coasting on earlier work.
For context on the broader regional fine-dining scene, Griggeler Stuba in Lech and Gourmetrestaurant Tannenhof in Sankt Anton am Arlberg operate at a comparable level in the wider Arlberg-adjacent corridor. Within Fiss itself, Bruderherz Fine Dine is the immediate local alternative if Beef Club is fully booked. For the full picture of what Fiss offers, see our full Fiss restaurants guide.

| Beef Club | A terrific modern concept that would also be right at home in Vienna or Munich! This restaurant is to be found in the exclusive Schlosshotel at an altitude of 1 436m. The sophisticated and upscale decor boasts elegant dark colours and the atmosphere is lively. Mathias Seidel and Nikolaus Platteter are your chefs. The "Beef Club Menu", available in four or six courses (plus amuse-bouches and petits fours), includes delicate creations such as "Tristan crayfish, wakame, radish, green apple" - a vegetarian set menu is also available. Plus there is an à la carte selection featuring beautifully grilled cuts straight out of the Big Green Egg. The Austrian and international wine list is first class – specialities include the Romanée-Conti and Ornellaia selection, as well as magnum and double magnum bottles. The wine pairings by the glass are also very good - alternatively, there is a non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment. Skilful service.; Michelin 1 Star (2024) | €€€ | — |

How Beef Club stacks up against the competition.
Yes. The Beef Club Menu is available with a dedicated vegetarian set menu alongside the standard four- or six-course format, so plant-based diners are not an afterthought. Non-alcoholic beverage pairings are also offered as an alternative to the wine pairings, which is a practical touch for non-drinkers. Confirm specific allergies directly with the restaurant when booking.
As far in advance as possible. Peak ski season (January to March) and summer mountain season (July to August) are the hardest windows to secure, and a Michelin-starred room inside the Schlosshotel at 1,436m draws a destination crowd. The restaurant is closed Sundays and Mondays, so you have a five-night window per week. Book at least four to six weeks out for high season.
The Beef Club Menu in six courses is the format to go for: it includes amuse-bouches and petits fours and gives the kitchen room to show range, with dishes like Tristan crayfish, wakame, radish, and green apple documented among the menu's more delicate creations. If you prefer à la carte, the Big Green Egg grilled cuts are the anchor of that section. The wine pairings are noted as strong, and the list runs to Romanée-Conti and Ornellaia as well as magnum and double magnum formats.
Yes, provided your group is comfortable with a dinner-only, tasting-menu-led format in an intimate alpine hotel setting. The room is dark and considered, the service is described as skilful, and a Michelin star gives it the credibility to anchor a milestone dinner. It is more suited to couples or small groups than large parties, and at €€€ pricing it sits in the range where the occasion justifies the spend.
There are no direct Michelin-starred competitors in Fiss itself, so alternatives require a wider radius. Döllerer in Golling is the closest comparable in terms of alpine setting and serious Austrian culinary credentials. For a full urban fine-dining alternative, Steirereck im Stadtpark in Vienna operates at a higher level of recognition but is a different trip entirely. Beef Club is the clear choice if you are already in the Tyrolean Alps and want a high-calibre dinner without leaving the region.
At €€€ for a Michelin-starred tasting menu with strong wine pairings and a wine list that includes Romanée-Conti and Ornellaia, Beef Club is priced in line with what you would pay at comparable one-star restaurants in Vienna or Munich. The Michelin guide itself notes it would be right at home in either city, which is the relevant benchmark. If you are already in Fiss for skiing or hiking, this is the obvious dinner destination and the price is justified by the quality of execution.
