Editor's Pick

Wirtshaus zum Griena for Tyrolean cooking in the old farmhouse parlors at Dorf Haus.

THE FOOD SCENE

Choose Wirtshaus zum Griena in Dorf Haus for a traditional Tyrolean evening. At Zillertalerhof in town, the kitchen pairs Alpine cooking with Mediterranean and East Asian flavors. Visitors can reserve dinner even when staying elsewhere.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

The ICEBAR at Hotel Strass is beside the Penkenbahn valley station, so you can meet friends for DJ music after coming down from Penken. Brück’n Stadl is another village choice for dancing. Check the event listing for the night you plan to go.

Wirtshaus zum Griena

Dorf Haus, Mayrhofen

🍔Casual

This Tyrolean inn serves regional cooking in the old parlors of a former farmhouse in Dorf Haus.

Why We Like It

Come for an unhurried meal in one of the old rooms. The farmhouse setting is as much a reason to visit as the regional cooking.

Earlier guide details

Earlier menu idea: Germknodel (sweet yeast dumpling with plum filling and poppy seeds). Choose from the restaurant’s current menu when you visit.
