Michelin Restaurants in Kitzbühel

Kitzbühel has a reputation for fine dining that is bigger than its Michelin count. The current guide gives the town one star, one Bib Gourmand and three more recommendations, and the villages around it add a handful of serious tables. This page lists all of them, with the Gault&Millau toques alongside, because the Austrian guide often tells you more than Michelin does.

We haven’t eaten at these restaurants and we don’t review them. Every rating below comes from guide.michelin.com or gaultmillau.at, checked in November 2026, with the edition named. If you want everyday meals rather than a big night out, our page on where to eat covers inns, pizza and bakeries, and our trip-planning guides handle dates and transport.

The current list at a glance

Here is everything Michelin currently recommends in and around Kitzbühel, with Gault&Millau scores where the guide has a page. “Selected” means listed in the Michelin Guide without a star or Bib Gourmand.

The Michelin star: Les Deux

Les Deux is the only starred restaurant in Kitzbühel and in the villages this page covers (Kirchberg, Jochberg, Reith, Going and Westendorf), according to Michelin’s 2026 star list, published on 18 March 2026. Michelin’s wider “Reith bei Kitzbühel and surroundings” listing also shows a star in Leogang, but that’s across the border in the Salzburg region and a separate trip.

It’s the Kitzbühel branch of a Munich brasserie, on Franz-Reisch-Straße in the town centre, a few minutes on foot from the old town. Michelin’s inspectors describe French classics such as pâté en croûte and steak au poivre from chef Marc Fröhlich, next to lighter modern plates, in a room that is elegant but lively enough to feel like a bistro. There’s a bar for champagne and a small terrace at the front. Michelin puts it in its €€€ price band.

Gault&Millau rates it higher than anything else in town: 16.5/20 and 3 toques in the 2027 guide, noting that oysters and caviar are always on the menu and that the wine list leans French. If you only book one dinner, this is the obvious choice, unless you want a quiet, formal room. Les Deux is neither.

Bib Gourmand: Mocking das Wirtshaus

Mocking das Wirtshaus holds Kitzbühel’s only Bib Gourmand, Michelin’s award for good cooking at moderate prices, as of November 2026 (Michelin Bib Gourmand list).

It sits on Hahnenkammstraße at the foot of the Streif, close to the Hahnenkamm gondola, and is run by siblings Martin Huber and Andrea Posch. The Michelin page describes regional cooking with home-grown vegetables, Austrian gnocchi and spinach dumplings, plus a kimchi the kitchen ferments itself. Its price band is €€, a notch below the starred and toqued places.

For a skier this is the most practical guide-rated meal in town, since you can walk in from the bottom of the slope. If you’d rather eat on the mountain itself, plan a hut lunch on the Hahnenkamm instead.

Michelin-selected restaurants in town

Three more Kitzbühel restaurants are in the Michelin Guide without a star, and all three hold 2 toques in Gault&Millau 2027. They’re all within walking distance of the old town.

Zuma is inside the Hotel Weißes Rössl on Bichlstraße. Gault&Millau describes modern Japanese small plates for sharing and gives it 14/20 (2027). Michelin lists it in its top €€€€ price band, so it’s the most expensive of the five in town.

Lois Stern, on Josef-Pirchl-Straße, scores 13.5/20 and cooks with strong Asian influences. Michelin files it under fusion at €€, which makes it the cheapest way into the guide-rated group after Mocking.

Neuwirt, in the Hotel Schwarzer Adler on Florianigasse, also holds 13.5/20 and 2 toques. Its menu runs from Austrian classics such as Backhendl to international dishes. For a group where one person wants Schnitzel and another wants something lighter, it’s the easiest table to agree on.

All five town restaurants are close to the shops of the Vorderstadt, so a dinner here fits well after a shopping afternoon.

Worth the drive: nearby villages

Outside town, the best-rated table is in Kirchberg, and the rest are traditional inns with a Michelin listing.

Stubn 1972 is in the Minglers Sportalm hotel in Kirchberg in Tirol, the next village west, a short walk from the Fleckalmbahn. Michelin’s page describes a wood-panelled room with four tables and a set menu where you choose the number of courses, with a mostly Austrian wine list. Gault&Millau gives it 15.5/20 and 3 toques (2027), second only to Les Deux in this area. With four tables, it’s the hardest booking on this page.

Schwarzer Adler in Jochberg, south of town on the road to Pass Thurn, is an inn dating from 1482. Michelin lists it for Alpine and classic cooking, from Schnitzel and game ragout to more refined dishes. It’s a classic village inn rather than a gourmet room, and Michelin puts it in its €€ band.

The Gasthof Stanglwirt in Going am Wilden Kaiser is a large spa hotel with its own organic farm. Michelin lists its restaurant for seasonal, regional food such as roast chicken and Tyrolean goulash, with milk, butter, cheese and bread from the farm. It’s a drive rather than a walk, and suits a long lunch better than a late dinner.

Further afield in Westendorf, Gasthaus Steinberg is the area’s second Bib Gourmand, a family-run inn that Michelin suggests for a hiking day.

Three more places hold toques but aren’t in the Michelin Guide: Seebichl by the Schwarzsee (12.5/20, 1 toque), s’Pfandl in Reith bei Kitzbühel and Jodlbühel in Jochberg (11/20 and 1 toque each, all 2027).

What changed since 2025

Two names on older lists are gone. In the 2025 edition, Kitzbühel had two stars, one at Les Deux and one at Berggericht in the Hinterstadt (Kitzbühel Tourismus, January 2025). Berggericht isn’t on the 2026 star list, and its Michelin page no longer exists. We can’t confirm whether it’s open, so we haven’t listed it above.

Zum Tischlerwirt in Reith bei Kitzbühel was one of the four selected restaurants named in that same 2025 release, but it isn’t on the current Michelin listing for Reith and its surroundings. If an older article sends you to either place, check with the restaurant before you plan an evening around it.

Michelin or Gault&Millau: which to trust

Use both. Michelin is a short list here: one star, two Bib Gourmands and a few selected places. Gault&Millau Austria rates far more restaurants, with points out of 20 and toques (Hauben), and its 2027 guide came out in October 2026, so it’s the more recent of the two. Where they agree, as with Les Deux and Stubn 1972, you can book with some confidence. Where only Gault&Millau has a page, as with Seebichl, the rating is still a useful signal of serious cooking.

Booking a special-occasion dinner

Book directly with the restaurant, through its own website or by phone. Michelin’s pages say Les Deux handles its own bookings and that Stubn 1972 can’t be reserved through Michelin’s site, so don’t wait for an online button there.

Timing matters more than anything else. Christmas to New Year, Hahnenkamm race week in January and the February school holidays fill these tables first, so book as soon as your dates are fixed. If you’re planning New Year’s Eve in Kitzbühel, assume the starred and toqued restaurants are full or running set menus and ask early. Opening days are limited at some of these places and change by season, so check before you build an evening around one.

Budget for it, too. A starred dinner with wine is one of the bigger single costs of a trip; our page on how expensive Kitzbühel is puts it in context. Staying in or near the centre lets you walk to all five town restaurants, which matters on a cold night; see choosing a base for the walkable areas.

Which one to book

For one big night in town, book Les Deux. For a food-focused evening, if you don’t mind a short taxi ride, Stubn 1972 in Kirchberg is the more intimate choice. For a guide-rated meal straight off the slopes, Mocking is the answer. Pick one, book it now if you’re travelling in peak weeks, then fill the other days from our full guide to Kitzbühel.
