Restaurant in Ischgl, Austria
Book early: small room, serious tasting menus.
Fliana Gourmet is Ischgl's most credentialed dinner option: a Michelin Plate (2024) kitchen running four- and six-course tasting menus in a small, ski-adjacent room at €€€€. The limited table count makes advance booking essential in winter. If you have eaten the four-course already, the six-course is the logical next step.
At the €€€€ price point, Fliana Gourmet asks you to spend serious money for dinner in a ski resort. What you get back is a Michelin Plate-recognised kitchen (2024) running two structured tasting menus in a small, deliberately intimate room, with some tables looking directly onto the ski slope in winter. For Ischgl, that is a meaningful combination. The question is whether it suits your trip — and the answer depends largely on what you want from an evening off the mountain.
This is a restaurant that works hardest for guests who are already staying nearby or who are willing to plan ahead. The Fimbabahn and Pardatschgratbahn cable car terminals are within easy reach of the hotel entrance on Fimbabahnweg 8, which makes Fliana accessible after a day on the slopes without a complicated transfer. That logistical convenience, combined with a kitchen that has earned Michelin recognition, makes it the most coherent fine-dining option in the village for guests who want quality without travelling far from their base.
The menu structure is direct: a four-course tasting menu for guests who want a focused evening, and a six-course version for those who want to go further. À la carte dishes are also available, which is a meaningful concession for a restaurant at this level — it means you are not locked into a full tasting format if one person at the table wants to eat lighter or if the group's appetite varies after a long day skiing. The cuisine is listed as International, which at a Michelin Plate level typically signals a kitchen confident enough in its technique to draw from multiple reference points rather than anchoring itself to a single regional tradition.
Andreas Spitzer leads the kitchen team. The Michelin Plate, awarded in 2024, signals that Michelin inspectors found the cooking consistently competent and worth recommending, even if the restaurant has not yet reached star level. In a ski resort context, where the dining scene is weighted toward après-ski convenience rather than culinary ambition, that recognition matters more than it might in a major city. Compare it to Gourmetrestaurant Tannenhof in Sankt Anton am Arlberg or Griggeler Stuba in Lech , Arlberg's benchmark options , and Fliana sits in a comparable tier: resort-based, Michelin-tracked, and built around a tasting format.
The restaurant holds very few tables. That is not a marketing claim , the Michelin entry flags it directly, and it is the single most important practical fact about Fliana Gourmet. Small seat counts in ski resorts create a specific booking problem: high-season demand from guests who booked their ski week months in advance, combined with walk-in traffic from people who assume resort restaurants are easier to access than city spots. They are not, at this level.
Winter is the primary season, and it is when the slope-view tables are most relevant. If you are visiting Ischgl during the ski season and want to eat here, the booking window should be treated as seriously as you would treat a comparable restaurant in Vienna or Salzburg. For reference, Steirereck im Stadtpark in Vienna books out weeks in advance , Fliana's smaller table count in a compressed ski season creates similar pressure, even if the overall profile is different.
Google reviewers rate the restaurant 4.6 across 78 reviews, which is a solid score for a venue in this category. The review count is relatively modest, consistent with a small room that serves a limited number of covers per service.
Fliana works leading as a mid-trip or end-of-trip dinner for guests who have already been once and want to move through the menu in a more deliberate way the second time. If you have done the four-course format, the six-course gives you significantly more range without committing to a marathon evening after a physical day. The à la carte option is the right call if your group has mixed appetites or if you want the kitchen's cooking without the full tasting structure.
For groups, the small room is the main constraint. A party of two or three will have an easier time securing a table than a group of six or eight. If you are planning a group dinner in Ischgl at this price tier, contact the restaurant well in advance and ask specifically about table configuration , do not assume availability.
If fine dining in the Alps is a priority on this trip, it is also worth looking at Döllerer in Golling an der Salzach or Ikarus in Salzburg as regional benchmarks that operate at a higher Michelin tier, if your itinerary allows. Within Ischgl itself, the closest peers are Paznaunerstube and Schlossherrnstube, both operating at €€€€ with their own approaches to the leading end of the village's dining tier.

If you are building a wider Austrian dining itinerary, Kräuterreich by Vitus Winkler in Sankt Veit im Pongau and Haubentaucher in Rottach-Egern are worth adding to the research list. For a contrast in International cuisine at a city level, Loumi in Berlin shows what the format looks like in a very different setting.
Book at least two to three weeks ahead during peak ski season, and further in advance if you are visiting in the core Christmas or February half-term windows. The restaurant has very few tables and is consistently popular with in-resort guests. Walk-in chances are low during busy periods.
There is no confirmed bar-seating option in the available data. The restaurant is a small, table-service room inside the Fliana hotel. If eating without a full booking matters to you, the à la carte menu is the most flexible option , contact the restaurant directly to ask about availability on a given night.
At €€€€ with a Michelin Plate (2024), it delivers more culinary ambition than most resort restaurants at this price point. If you are comparing it to a Michelin-starred restaurant in Vienna or Salzburg, the technical ceiling is lower , but in Ischgl, it is the most credentialed kitchen in the village. For the setting and convenience to the slopes, the value holds up for guests who care about food quality, not just a decent meal after skiing.
Specific current dishes are not confirmed in our data. The structure to focus on: if you have done the four-course menu before, move to the six-course for more range. First-timers who are unsure about appetite after a ski day should consider à la carte rather than committing to a long tasting menu. Ask the team on booking which format they recommend for the current season.
Paznaunerstube is the most direct competitor at the same €€€€ tier, with a contemporary approach. Schlossherrnstube also operates at €€€€ with a contemporary format. Stüva offers creative French cooking at €€€€ and is worth comparing directly. If you want to step down in price without dropping quality significantly, Heimatbühne at €€€ covers Austrian cuisine and is the easiest of the group to book at short notice.
Yes, with a caveat on group size. The intimate room and structured tasting menu format make it a natural fit for a birthday dinner or anniversary, particularly if it is a table for two or three. For larger groups, the small room creates real constraints , you may not all sit together, and the restaurant may not be able to accommodate the full party. Plan and communicate early.
The six-course is worth the commitment if you are treating the evening as the dining event of your trip rather than just dinner after skiing. The four-course is the better call if you are combining it with a full ski day and want to be done at a reasonable hour. Both are backed by Michelin Plate recognition, which means the kitchen has been vetted for consistent quality across a full menu.
Small groups of two to four are the safest bet given the limited table count. For six or more, contact the restaurant well in advance and ask specifically what they can accommodate , there is no confirmed private dining or group-booking information in our data, so a direct conversation is necessary. Do not show up expecting a large table to be available without prior arrangement.

What to weigh when choosing between Fliana Gourmet and alternatives.
Book as early as possible — ideally several weeks before your trip if you are visiting in peak ski season. The Michelin entry explicitly flags that the restaurant has only a few tables and fills quickly, so last-minute availability is unlikely, especially mid-winter. Email or check the venue's official channels via the Fliana hotel to secure your date.
There is no bar dining confirmed in the venue data. Fliana Gourmet is a table-service restaurant inside the Fliana hotel with a limited number of covers, so the experience is structured around seated tasting menus or à la carte. Walk-in bar options are not documented for this venue.
At €€€€, it is priced at the top of what Ischgl offers, but the Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 confirms the kitchen is operating at a level above typical resort dining. If you are already spending serious money on a ski trip and want one proper dinner, the format — creative tasting menus with a slope view in winter — justifies the spend. If you want à la carte flexibility rather than a structured menu, factor that into your decision.
The menu offers a four-course and a six-course tasting menu, plus à la carte options. The tasting menus are the reason to come — they represent the kitchen's creative output and are what earns the Michelin Plate recognition. À la carte works if you want a shorter, more flexible evening, but the tasting menus are the stronger case for the €€€€ price point.
Paznaunerstube is the reference point for serious fine dining in Ischgl, holding Michelin stars and operating at a higher credential level. Stüva offers a more traditional alpine setting with strong local reputation. Heimatbühne and Schlossherrnstube are worth considering if you want a less formal evening without the tasting menu format. Hotel Post Ursprung suits guests who want a classic Austrian dining experience rather than a contemporary kitchen.
Yes, provided you book well in advance. The small number of tables makes it feel considered rather than crowded, and the winter slope view adds a setting that most restaurants in the area cannot offer. At €€€€ with Michelin Plate recognition, it works well for a celebration dinner mid-trip or at the end of a ski stay.
The six-course menu is the stronger choice if you want the full picture of what the kitchen can do; the four-course version suits guests who want a focused evening without committing to a longer dinner. Both menus are backed by Michelin Plate recognition for 2024, which puts the cooking above the standard resort-hotel restaurant. For comparison, Paznaunerstube holds Michelin stars and operates at a higher level — Fliana sits just below that tier but above anything casual in Ischgl.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
