Gault Millau-awarded Restaurants in South Tyrol

In addition to the Guide Michelin, the gourmet guide Gault Millau also awards outstanding restaurants every autumn.

Besides the Guide Michelin, the Gault Millau, named after its founders Henri Gault (1929-2000) and Christian Millau (1928-2017), is considered the most influential restaurant guide in Europe. It awards the famous Gault Millau chef's toques for outstanding cuisine. Since 1980, the Austrian version has been published, which also awards the best South Tyrolean restaurants: The scale ranges from 0 to 20 points, with 19.5 points as the "highest mark for the world's best restaurants". 20 points are traditionally not awarded, as these signify perfection.

A total of 133 South Tyrolean gourmet temples (in 2022 there were 121) were awarded. Below you will find all the gourmet restaurants with three or more toques of the 2021/22 edition - currently, the 2022/23 edition of the gourmet guide Gault Millau is only commercially available:
