• A McDonalds, Chinese take-out restaurant and pizza parlor offer cheap food, but for an Austrian meal on a budget, try The Guggenbichl Hut. A family-style restaurant, the house specialty is kasnocken: noodles, cheese and butter cooked in a crock and served sizzling. Guests scoop out their own portions while the remainder crisps on the bottom of the crock, leaving a crusty, decadent mess for diners to scrape off and enjoy at the end of the meal.

• Highly rated restaurant Jagawirt offers local food creatively prepared.vegetable soup with romano cheese image by davidcrehner from Fotolia.com
  
  Situated within a resort of luxury apartments and villas, Dorfstadl restaurant caters to travelers looking for fine dining prepared in classic Austrian style. Order meat and cheese fondue, and cook your food in a hot pot of oil or on a stone at your table, while sampling the accompanying fresh bread and vegetables. If you'd prefer the chef do the work, order freshly baked spareribs, which arrive spicy and crispy, served with fried potatoes and apple sauerkraut. Local meats, such as lamb and venison are available, as well as home-made pastas with a variety of toppings--from mushrooms to seafood to beef. A children's menu provides choices for picky eaters and the atmosphere of the restaurant is family-friendly.
