The Löffelspitze

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Gourmet Table in the Vorarlberg Alps

The Löffelspitze is the fine dining restaurant of Hotel Alpenstern, set in Damüls, a small village in the Bregenzerwald mountains of Vorarlberg, Austria. At an altitude where the air is sharp and the landscape uncompromising, the restaurant offers a considered counterpoint: a refined table where Austrian cuisine is taken seriously, and where the details — on the plate and in the glass — are treated with equal care.

Wine at the Heart of the Experience

What sets The Löffelspitze apart in the broader landscape of Austrian fine dining is its commitment to wine. The restaurant holds Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for 2024, a distinction that places it among a select group of establishments worldwide recognised for the depth, breadth and thoughtful curation of their wine list. For guests, this translates into a cellar that can genuinely complement the food — whether that means an elegant Austrian white alongside a regional dish or something more adventurous from further afield.

Setting and Atmosphere

Housed within Hotel Alpenstern, the restaurant brings together the warmth of an alpine setting with the precision of fine dining service. Lunch and dinner are both offered, with full table service throughout. The combination of mountain surroundings and an award-recognised wine programme makes The Löffelspitze a destination in its own right — not merely a hotel restaurant, but a reason to make the journey to Damüls.
