Food in Kitzbühel is Tyrolean, just pricier; the cost follows the town's status as Tyrol's most expensive corner. Schlutzkrapfen opens the table, goulash and Wiener Schnitzel are the main course, and anyone after a cheaper option heads to the butcher's set lunch instead of a restaurant.
Schlutzkrapfen and soup — how the meal starts
Schlutzkrapfen (from €12.90) are Tyrolean pasta pockets filled with spinach and cheese, somewhere between gnocchi and ravioli. Also common as a starter is liver dumpling soup (€7.50), thick and well-spiced, a standard winter item on menus around town.
Goulash and Wiener Schnitzel — the main course
Beef goulash with dumplings (€22.90) is beef stewed slowly in a thick paprika sauce, served with bread dumplings. Wiener Schnitzel made with veal (€33.90) is the pricier version of the classic Viennese cutlet; the gap between veal and pork shows up on the bill here.
Set lunch — the cheapest option
At the butcher's Metzgerei Huber, on weekdays, the set lunch runs €11.90–15.90; two or three courses, changing day to day, and the only option in town below restaurant prices. For a sit-down meal with a menu, a restaurant main course runs €19.90–25.50, no drinks.
Apple strudel
Apple strudel with vanilla sauce (€7.90) is the standard Tyrolean dessert, on menus across town; the usual version comes with vanilla sauce. Whipped cream is not used here.
