Schutzhutte Steinbergkogel

In a resort where there are a total of 59 mountain skihuttes where you are spoiled for choice, we ate here at least 5 times during our 9 days skiing. Very friendly staff. Great homemade potato soup and fabulous pasta along with most of the...usual Tyrolean offerings. Opt for a seat at the front by the window if possible to enjoy fabulous views.

Usually we do not expect much from restaurants in ski mountains. This one is different. We spent 6 days in Kirchberg skiing this Feb and I think we went to this restaurant 4 times for lunch. We actually came to this restaurant one year ago....The dishes such as spaghetti in pesto sauce and sausages were good. Sometimes they had daily specials such as lamb chops, roast beef or spare ribs, and they were just great. Ask for the daily special. This restaurant is next to chairlift C1 and C7. I used to go early around 11:30am in order to get tables for lunch. My children also commented that their hot chocolate was also one of the best in the mountain, especially the cream on top ! The environment was cosy and service was just great and friendly.

Than your average mountain restaurant. Better food too and table service. Of course a bit more expensive but worth it. Reservation recommended. Right beside the chair lift top. Don't go in the bar next door by mistake.

We happened upon this restaurant while skiing in kitzbuhel, and had in mind to have a bowl of soup. We took one look at the amazing menu and ordered spaghetti with prawns (which were the biggest any of us have ever seen and we are...a well travelled bunch), a spaghetti with garlic and chilli (definitely having that next time divine) and traditional gröstl (beef, onions, roast potatoes and an egg what's not to love all served by Suzi, fantastic waitress and just made the whole experience even more fabulous. We will be back!

Steinbergkogel serves the best and most original Austrian specialties. The service is always pleasant, the view breathtaking and the run back to the village always an adventure. You can get there only by lift and skis
