Ooben im Mooser Dining in St Anton am Arlberg | Gault & Millau 12

The Kitchen and Its Approach

Ooben im Mooser in St Anton am Arlberg grounds its Austrian cuisine in the mountain traditions that define the region. Chef Lukas Gritsch approaches the menu with a focus on refined technique and local ingredients rather than theatrical presentations. The team draws inspiration from the area’s long history of combining winter sports with culinary excellence. This steady commitment to quality recently earned the restaurant twelve points from Gault Millau for the 2026 guide.

Signature Plates and Pairings

Guests order from an à la carte list that features classic preparations like beef tartare and Kärntner Kirchtagssuppe. The kitchen also serves tender tafelspitz alongside seasonal vegetables. A caramelized Kaiserschmarren concludes many meals, often matched with a glass of Gerhard Kracher Cuvée Red Roses 2014. This approach keeps the Alpine cooking honest and focused on ingredient quality.

Views and Evening Rituals

Located on the upper floor of the four-star-superior hotel, the dining room sits directly on the ski piste with unobstructed sightlines across St Anton. Patrons typically begin with an aperitif at the bar before moving to their tables. Sliding doors open onto a private balcony where visitors watch the alpine skyline shift from daylight into dusk. The evening usually wraps up with cocktails back at the bar as the mountain air clears.
