St. Anton boasts of being one of the best ski resorts in Western Austria and is also famous for hosting the World Alpine Ski Championship in 2001. What’s best about St. Anton is its wide slope for skiers, enhanced lift system, snowboarding ground and hefty snowfall. St. Anton is not only famous for its ski slopes, it is also well-known for having the best shopping, café, bar scenes and restaurants that offer some of Austria’s famous dishes. Eating at a recommended restaurant in St. Anton is the best way to relax after a long day of skiing and snowboarding.

I work up some of my best appetites while taking to the slopes. I mean, the cold, the exertion, the concentration and the calories you burn out there are pretty amazing—even if you’re just going merrily downhill as a beginner. Skiing gives you one of the best excuses to eat as much as you can in one sitting. You get my drift—Christmas and Thanksgiving or whatever holidays you celebrate all rolled into one gigantic, gastronomic meal, every day. Whether you’re a snowboarder, cross-country skier, downhill skier or an expert at all, eating brings all these differences together. I’ve got a few restaurants out there that I’ve enjoyed over the years. If you got any to add to my “list” here, then by all means go for it. Any food will do, as long as you can stuff it in your gullet, and it’s at least somewhat tasty, tell us about it here.

Saas-Fee, Switzerland:

Sometimes the food wins me over and other times it’s the concept, while other times it’s the location. At the top of the world in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, you can ride the Alpine Metro to one of the most unique restaurants in Europe. At the end of the upward line of the metro you get to Mittelallalin, where a turntable restaurant awaits. It doesn’t go fast enough to make you call Earl (vomit), but once per hour, it spins 360 degrees at almost 12000 feet. There’s all kinds of foods, and nothing I remember that truly stood out, but there are self-service at certain meal times too. If you’re out and about already with your gear on, this spinning restaurant offers some great recharging deals for lunch.

Meribel-Mottaret, France:

La Tsaretta restaurant in Meribel France is near the center of Les Allues Village and offers a free shuttle. I dined here last year and our whole group could get any number of things to eat. They said that the menu had been updated and changed in 2007, I believe. My friend who eats only pizza got his dish; my girlfriend who wanted fish and chips got her dish; I wanted steak and red wine sauce, which they served perfectly. Though the restaurant likes to place pizza eaters away from “fine diners,” you can pretty much find anything you fancy on the menu, including a full bar downstairs and a super-attentive waitstaff.

Bormio, Italy:

Anyone who doesn’t like Italian food is by all accounts either insane, mental or a reject. I know that’s not any of you, so you’ll all love, love Vecchia Combo. Vecchia is an epicurean’s dream, with so many handmade things you wonder how they have enough time to prepare food in one day. Vecchia Combo considers itself a ristorante tipico, but it’s anything but typical, rest assured. I didn’t quite remember what I had there, but I think it was the Fried Buckwheat Balls. At any rate, I just visited the website to recount the menu and they have Hand-made buckwheat noodles in butter sauce, salads galore, grilled sausages with buckwheat polenta, pork ribs, cheeses and salamis and the menu goes on. Though you might not want to dine outdoors during the ski season, the indoors seating arrangement are cozy enough to make you fall asleep after dinner.

I’ve only added a few European ski resort and holiday restaurants to try either before or after hitting the slopes, so now it’s your turn. Do tell us about your fine-dining or hole-in-the-wall favorites.
