Restaurant in Ort im Innkreis, Austria
Set menu worth the detour into Innviertel.
Kammer5 is a Michelin-recognised modern kitchen in a converted Upper Austrian farmhouse, running four- or six-course seasonal menus at €€€ — a price tier below the country's most pressured fine dining rooms. The brick cross-vaulted cowshed dining room gives the space genuine character, and the combination of bold regional cooking, non-alcoholic pairings, and easy booking makes it the strongest case for a special occasion dinner in the Innviertel.
Kammer5 earns a clear recommendation for anyone planning a celebratory meal in the Innviertel region. At €€€, it sits a price tier below the handful of €€€€ Austrian restaurants that dominate the country's fine dining conversation, and for that relative accessibility it delivers a seasonal set menu with the kind of technical rigour you'd expect from a Michelin-recognised kitchen. The converted farmhouse setting outside Ort im Innkreis is the sort of place you need to seek out deliberately — this is not a restaurant you stumble into — but the effort is proportionate to the reward if a structured tasting format suits you. Google reviewers rate it 4.8 across 93 reviews, a signal of consistent delivery rather than occasional brilliance.
The physical room is the most compelling reason to choose Kammer5 over a comparable kitchen in a generic urban setting. The restaurant occupies what was once the working cowshed of a farmhouse that has been modernised without being hollowed out. The brick cross-vaulted ceiling is the defining architectural feature: it creates a rhythm of arches overhead that gives the room a quiet, almost chapel-like gravity without leaning into rustic kitsch. The conversion has been handled with restraint , old materials, new purpose, no forced contrast between exposed stonework and contemporary tableware.
For a special occasion, spatial character matters. The setting gives a dinner here a sense of occasion that a purpose-built restaurant room rarely achieves, and the atmosphere is described as one of relaxed, understated elegance rather than hushed formality. That balance is harder to calibrate than it sounds, and it makes Kammer5 a stronger choice for a celebration dinner or a significant anniversary than a venue where the environment feels either too casual or aggressively theatrical.
Kammer5 operates on a set menu format , four or six courses depending on your appetite and appetite for commitment. The kitchen's sourcing is regional, and the menu rotates with the seasons, which means what's on the plate in October will not be what's on the plate in April. Dishes in the Michelin record include mushroom with thyme and sherry, and venison with black salsify and pomegranate , combinations that suggest a kitchen comfortable with contrast and not afraid of strong flavour profiles. These are not safe, crowd-pleasing compositions; they read as considered and occasionally bold.
If you are visiting to mark a milestone , an anniversary, a significant birthday, a business dinner where the environment needs to do work , the six-course format gives the meal more ceremonial weight and better value per course. The four-course option is the right call if your group includes guests who find long tasting menus effortful rather than enjoyable. Both formats are supported by wine pairings, and non-alcoholic pairings are also offered, which removes the awkward asymmetry that non-drinkers often face at this level of restaurant. That practical detail matters more than it is usually given credit for when planning a group celebration.
The database record does not confirm a dedicated private dining room, and the seat count is not published. What the setting does suggest is that Kammer5, as a converted farmhouse with a discrete, architecturally defined dining room, is more likely to feel intimate and contained than a large urban restaurant where group bookings compete for atmosphere with a full main room. For groups considering a celebratory dinner in the region, the practical advice is to contact the restaurant directly to ask about the availability of reserved sections or full-venue hire , at €€€ in a rural Upper Austrian location, exclusive-use arrangements for smaller groups are often more achievable than at comparable city restaurants where full-venue minimums are much higher.
If your group has specific dietary requirements, advance communication is advisable for any kitchen running a seasonal set menu. The kitchen's evident focus on regional produce and precise preparation suggests the team is accustomed to working within constraints, but confirmation before arrival is the sensible move for any significant restriction.
Kammer5's address is Kammer 5, 4974 Kammer, Austria , a rural location that requires a car or pre-arranged transfer. Booking difficulty is rated easy, which is a meaningful advantage over the two-month waits that attend some of Austria's most pressured reservations. There is no published phone number or website in the current data, so reaching out through available online booking channels or direct contact discovered via search is the most reliable path. Given the rural location and small-scale format, booking at least a week or two in advance for weekend dinners is sensible, particularly if your date has a fixed significance.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
Kammer5 runs a fixed seasonal set menu of four or six courses built around regional produce, so the kitchen's flexibility on dietary restrictions is not confirmed in available records. If you have specific requirements, contact them before booking — a set-menu format at €€€ generally warrants a direct conversation rather than a guess. Non-alcoholic pairings are confirmed available, which suggests some accommodation for guest preferences beyond wine.
Kammer5's seat count is not published, and no dedicated private dining room is confirmed. The setting — a converted cowshed with brick cross-vaulted ceilings in a rural farmhouse — suits intimate groups better than large parties. For celebrations of four to six, it's a strong fit; for larger bookings, confirm capacity directly before committing to the journey to Kammer, 4974.
At €€€, Kammer5 sits below Austria's top-tier Michelin two-star brackets but delivers dishes built around genuine regional sourcing and a room with real architectural character. Documented dishes such as venison with black salsify and pomegranate signal a kitchen working at a level that justifies the price point. If you're after a special-occasion dinner in Upper Austria without driving to Vienna, the value case is solid.
Kammer5 is the only restaurant of its tier documented in the immediate Innviertel area, so direct local alternatives are thin. For comparable seasonal Austrian cooking with more name recognition, Döllerer in Golling is the nearest peer in terms of regional-produce focus. Steirereck im Stadtpark in Vienna is the reference point for the country's finest set-menu cooking, though it requires a full trip to the capital.
Kammer5 operates on a set menu only — four or six courses — so there is no à la carte ordering. The six-course format gives the kitchen more room to develop the seasonal arc and is the better choice if you're making the drive out to Kammer, 4974. Documented combinations like mushroom with thyme and sherry, and venison with black salsify and pomegranate, indicate the kitchen leans into bold, well-defined flavour pairings.
Yes, particularly the six-course option if you're treating the meal as the main event of the evening. The set-menu format is the entire point here — Kammer5 doesn't hedge with a separate à la carte. At €€€ in a rural Austrian location with a brick-vaulted cowshed setting, the format and the room reinforce each other in a way that makes the longer menu the stronger choice. Non-alcoholic pairings are available alongside wine.
Kammer5 is one of the stronger special-occasion options in Upper Austria at this price tier. The converted farmhouse setting with its brick cross-vaulted ceiling gives it physical distinctiveness that a city restaurant at the same price rarely matches. It requires a car — the address is Kammer 5, 4974 Kammer — but that rural remove actually adds to the occasion, provided everyone in your party is comfortable with a set-menu format.
