    The take

    The Take

    The Vibe

    Krone Hittisau channels the pastoral rhythm of the Bregenzerwald: stone-and-timber village architecture, dairy-country farms and a forested valley set the tone. The cooking follows that landscape, prioritizing local cheeses, produce and clear technique over theatrical reinvention. The dining room feels composed and quietly refined rather than flashy — an elegant, classic hotel of regional ideas where sophistication arrives through restraint. Service and pacing mirror the unhurried surroundings; the Michelin Bib Gourmand the restaurant earned in 2025 underscores the balance of quality and modesty that defines the place.

    Ordering Tips

    Focus on dishes that explicitly reflect the local terroir and the kitchen’s straightforward technique. The signature items — fillet of char with coriander lentils, ginger and lemon foam; ricotta gnocchi; and Wälderhennele breast with vegetable lentils and bacon semolina dumplings — are reliable pointers to the restaurant’s approach. Opt for preparations that highlight Sennkäse and Bergkäse influences and let the ingredients speak. Because the house emphasizes unhurried plates, allow time between courses to appreciate the regional nuances the kitchen is underscoring.
