Gault Millau-awarded Saalfelden Leogang with 14 "Hauben"

Our region is a true paradise for gourmets! With a total of 14 Gault Millau "Hauben" (the Austrian equivalent to the stars awarded by the Michelin Guide in Germany) distributed among only five restaurants, Saalfelden Leogang can rightly call itself a gourmet region.

Culinary is highly valued here

Pinzgau cuisine is tasty, hearty and economical. Many dishes can be served - slightly modified - as a spicy main course or as a sweet dessert. And behind many a delicacy there is a great secret. The numerous hosts in the huts, inns and restaurants of the Saalfelden Leogang region keep the traditions alive. This ranges from rural delicacies to top cuisine - Gault Millau awarded a total of 14 "Hauben" to five restaurants in Saalfelden Leogang. And at the numerous direct marketers you can take home a little piece of regionality from your vacation.


Our six "Hauben" restaurants & a tip

Riederalm

Chef & Jeunes restaurateur Andreas Herbst was able to win four "Hauben" for the gourmet restaurant "dahoam", which translates to "at home". Here, the name "dahoam" says it all, because Herbst uses almost exclusively regional products of the highest quality from nearby producers as well as herbs from his own garden for his cuisine.

Kirchenwirt K1326

Chef Stefan Birnbacher was able once again to get four "Hauben" for the historic Kirchenwirt in Leogang. The 700-year-old village inn is one of the oldest in Salzburgerland, with a documented mention dating back to 1326. Siblings Barbara Kottke and Hans-Jörg Unterrainer have succeeded in transforming this venerable monument into a charm-filled boutique hotel with a great deal of flair.
