“Good food is the foundation of genuine happiness”, wrote Auguste Escoffier, the father of modern haute cuisine. And he would know. We cannot help but wonder, what Escoffier would have said about the elevated alpine cuisine in our restaurants in Lech am Arlberg. About the sophisticated international influences. About the excellent selection of drinks. We will never know. But probably: Mmmh.
Tradition with a pinch of internationality
A dreamy holiday in Lech does not only stand for stunning landscapes and outdoor adventures par excellence. It also stands for brilliant food that is loved by holidayers of every age. Here, at the Sonnenburg restaurants, Austrian cuisine takes centre stage: sweet and fluffy Kaiserschmarrn, thin and delicious Wiener Schnitzel, hearty fondue. Sometimes perfectly traditional, sometimes with a modern twist. Our award-winning chefs also skilfully tie in international elements for that extra wow. And the ingredients? High-quality, fresh and from the alpine region. Always.
We create unique moments of indulgence in each of our four restaurants in Lech am Arlberg at the Sonnenburg. Whether on our sun terrace out in the fresh mountain air, in our rustic mountain lodge, at the cozy breakfast table or in our gourmet restaurant. Always making sure that every bite tastes like a little holiday – at 5-star level, of course.

Sun terrace: sweet & savoury to share
On the sun terrace of our restaurant in Lech, we serve Austrian classics and alpine delicacies. Whether sweet or savoury, whether before or after your outdoor adventures, our sun terrace is the right spot for a relaxing break.
No wonder that the Sonnenburg turns into a beloved meeting point at lunch time: From slopes here and winter hikes there and from bike trails and hiking tracks all around, people gather at the Sonnenburg to catch up in best company. We also serve our dishes as sharing platters for larger groups: Are you craving fluffy Kaiserschmarrn, an Austrian pancake-like classic, with stewed plums or are you rather up for some tasty beef goulash? Whatever your heart desires, sharing simply makes it more fun. And not to forget our most popular side dish: the stunning view of the Arlberg. Free of charge, of course.
Schüna: Fondue restaurant in Lech am Arlberg
Authentically alpine: Mountain lovers celebrate the alpine way of life in the Schüna. Our rustic Austrian restaurant is known for delicious fondues and hearty raclette that bring food lovers together at one table.
In the original wooden lodge Schüna, which translates to “barn”, larger groups can also enjoy the modern interpretation of classic dishes. The perfect way to round off your day at the Arlberg. Simply cozy, rustic and delicious.
Textur: Toque-awarded literary menus for gourmets
What do fairy tales taste like? At the “Textur” restaurant in Lech am Arlberg, culinary art and magical moments merge. Under the direction of our head chef Peter Reithmayr, we create dishes that retell the stories of the Grimm Brothers – inspired by the flavours of the region and full of creative finesse.
Every bite is a small stage production that takes your senses on a journey through Grimm’s fantastical worlds – from starters that combine the traditional and the modern to desserts that seem to emerge straight from a fairytale book.
