The simply good restaurant in Schladming

At Gasthaus Zirngast you can expect honest cuisine as only Styria knows it. Down-to-earth and hearty - but with a fresh twist. We don't just serve "foam of and breeze with", but dishes prepared according to grandma's recipes and sometimes very traditional, sometimes completely new interpretations.

Using seasonal and regional ingredients, we conjure up delicious dishes in our restaurant in Schladming that not only fill you up, but also make you happy. The Restaurant Zirngast is simply a place to arrive and enjoy (or for a fierce duel at the regulars' table).

By the way: groups are very welcome here. Smaller groups simply order from the menu, for groups of 15 or more we will be happy to put together a menu for you.
