die Wilderin

The best local food, service, and atmosphere. We tried horse (carpaccio, tartar) for the first time, and the delicious 13 year old cow meat (ribs, neck). Strongly recommend if you look for a food experience that is local and welcoming. They rotate the menu based on the animal they have to offer a unique experience.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Innsbruck. The concept of valuing each element of the dish, and each part of the animal was incredible. The food was fantastic, the flavours complex and interesting. The menu changes very frequently so ingredients are always fresh and in season. It was also nice to see how the staff felt like a family.

Best restaurant in Innsbruck, by far. The ingredients are sourced. The menu changes a lot, based on what’s available. The dishes are always very tastefull. It’s a nice change to the standard Austrian cuisine. The service is proficient and enthusiastic. The place might get a bit hot in the summer though. We make sure to visit this place every time we are in Innsbruck!

As a devoted culinary traveler, dining at die Wilderin felt like savoring the essence of Alpine elegance. Nestled in a quiet lane of Innsbruck’s Old Town, the warm, thoughtfully designed interior—soft lighting, rich wood accents, and modern flair—immediately sets a tone of intimate comfort. I experienced a menu that unfolds like nature’s seasons: perfectly hand-cut beef tartare, delicate chicken croquettes, and succulent pork belly, all elevated by creative plating and genuine local flavor. Every bite resonated with integrity, from the ethically sourced ingredients to the respectful use of whole-animal parts. Service was gracious and mindful—knowledgeable, patient, and deeply proud of what they serve. A well-curated wine list complemented each dish effortlessly. die Wilderin doesn’t just offer a meal—it offers a narrative of place, passion, and intentional hospitality. A must-visit for anyone craving purposeful, unforgettable dining in Innsbruck.

We had an amazing meal here on Saturday (possibly one of our favourite restaurants that we’ve been to yet). The owner and staff are so friendly, they are all so passionate about sustainable good food and local produce. He joined us at the tablet to talk through the menu in English, and he chose each of my wines to compliment each dish. Our favourite had to be the wild garlic dumpling starter. We loved the cosy, homely, friendly feeling in the restaurant. We would go back if we return to Innsbruck - highly recommend!
