The story
zur Linä in Schwoich delivers refined Tyrolean cuisine across a seasonal menu shaped by Haubenkoch Thomas Moser and Chefin Caroline Bichler. The kitchen recently earned a solid fourteen points from Gault&Millau for its disciplined approach to regional cooking. Every plate relies on local suppliers and a rotating roster that matches the Alpine calendar. Sous-chef Marius Giacchino supports the daily execution while the team maintains a hands-on production style.
Current highlights feature a Tiroler Hirsch tataki served with pickled forest mushrooms and a sharp koju vinaigrette. The Beef Wellington arrives crisp and precisely portioned, meeting the high standards noted by reviewers. Stone potatoes and delicate carpaccio preparations complete the savory progression. This steady output proves how straightforward Austrian kitchen techniques can achieve remarkable clarity when ingredients stay simple.
The dining room occupies a converted cow shed that retains its original timber beams while introducing modern comfort seating. Since opening in 2016, the venue has balanced polished service with an unpretentious vibe. Winter operations run from November through March before the entire staff relocates to the nearby Stöfflalm for summer service. This cyclical schedule keeps the culinary focus sharp and the produce consistently fresh.
