One of my favorite restaurants in Innsbruck. It’s my second time here after discovering this place last year when I visited this city. This place is more than a restaurant. It’s quite the experience. I highly recommend dining here. The food, service ambiance are all superb. And of course you have the piano that the patrons can use. A big shout out you to Silvia the manager of the restaurant who we fell in love with already last year. What an incredible lady full of kindness and compassion. Also a special thanks to our server, Patrick, who gave us excellent service, always with a smile and a lot of patience with answering all our questions.

Wow. The schnitzel was superb. Great wine, great staff, and great food. A flight attendant who lives in the area said this was the best place in town when I said I was going to visit the city. Chatted with the head chef and hung out with a few locals at the bar during the night. If you don't have a reservation get there in the daytime. Packed all night and I got there at 4:30pm. Superb restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic dinner tonight at Piano Cafe Bar. We arrived Innsbrook, late afternoon. Hours of sightseeing later, we asked a bartender for a dinner recommendation. Without hesitation, he said Piano for great local fare including best steaks in Innsbrook. Great recommendation! Service was great, the bathrooms clean! LOL We shared a great house salad, then dined on the loin strip “Paris-style” and the beef filet in peppercorn sauce. Both steaks were expertly prepared, and served fresh from the kitchen! Sides of the potato cake were amazing! Even the bread was off the charts! We also shared a bottle of delicious Austrian red wine, and the apricot crepe (they call them pancakes) with a side of vanilla ice cream. Yum! The restaurant was fully booked, but squeezed us in when we agreed to be served whenever they could make it. So glad we did! Best meal in quite some time. Highly recommend Piano in Innsbrook!

We did a 5 country road trip across Europe and this was our favourite dinner. The food was absolutely top notch! The head chef was friendly and we enjoyed watching him work his craft. We will definitely be back!

Incredible authentic Austrian meal. One of our favourite meals of our entire 2 week trip! Not a tourist trap, lots of locals which we loved! Absolutely delicious food and beer!!! The potato pancake is a must. 10/10

The food, the art on the walls, the atmosphere, the service – all great. Despite its mega-central location in Innsbruck’s old town, this is no tourist trap. I have a lot of time for this place!

Food was very good, the schnitzel one of the best I’ve tasted. Can see it’s a family owned, authentic business. But very busy during peak hours and waiters don’t rlly have the time of day for you
