The story
Gutwinski in Feldkirch occupies a 16th-century town house where over a century of hospitality meets contemporary Austrian cuisine. Owner Klemens Banas guides the family business with intuition, balancing the historic architecture against a kitchen that emphasizes innovation alongside regional roots. The dining room reflects this blend, offering an elegant atmosphere within walls that have welcomed guests since the early 1900s.
The menu showcases bold flavors, highlighted by a beef tartare prepared with a daring level of spice that cuts through the richness of the meat. Guests frequently praise the lobster tail, served perfectly seared with a light foam and accompanied by house-made ravioli. These selections are supported by a wine list centered on Austrian producers, reinforcing the dedication to Austrian cooking. Even the desserts, such as the chocolate duo, reward patience with complex layers.
Recognized with 13.5 points from Gault&Millau for 2026, the restaurant delivers a stylish experience whether diners choose the terrace or the interior. The service remains attentive even during peak seasons, ensuring the elegant ambience defined by the building's historic charm never falters. This combination of refined presentation and attentive service makes Gutwinski a reference point for sophisticated Austrian cooking in Vorarlberg.

History
The Gutwinski is and will always remain a welcome addition to Feldkirch and its historic old town. Whether on the terrace or indoors, guests linger in a stylish and elegant setting. A solid wine list with a focus on Austria is just as convincing as the appealing dishes on the menu. You should allow extra time if any kitchen staff are on vacation; during those periods, however, attentive service ensures that nobody goes thirsty in the meantime. The beef tartare arrives with a bold yet harmonious kick, the lobster tail is perfectly seared and served with foam and house-made ravioli, and with a little patience, the two-part chocolate dessert will eventually make its way to the table. An excellent overall experience, but a final piece of advice: truffle butter infused with aroma oil is unnecessary.
