Gasthaus Steckholzer - Gries Am Brenner

Friendly staff and very tasty eating. original decor and very beautiful location at the end of the valley.

My wife and I had lunch here a few times on the january and then we spent a few days on the april. it is a real farm (hof) and it is 700 years old, perfectly rebuilt still with the old wood. this is not...a trendy Nouvelle cuisine restaurant. this is a farm restaurant for real people love real and real food. milk, butter, bark and pork are produced on the farm and they can notice it “in the first bite”. the white carving is so delicate that they can only use their forks. frau martina is the “Angel” of this little corner of the sky on the earth. It is very friendly and always available (she also speaks English and Italian.)

To get there is not easy; after the brenner to S.Jodok turn right and still right to the valley of vals and then climb for steep bends until you arrive in a beautiful false plateau, in fact near the brenner, reachable for the paths of course well marked! the local is in a beautiful alpine context and a stop is worth the cordiality, the availability ' of the managers and the good bill for the dishes.

We arrived by chance in this valley and we ate here twice and it is a very characteristic restaurant in a beautiful place. the food is really good, the best wienerschnitzel ever tasted, we will be back as soon as possible. the old alexander wolf is entertaining with everyone and even this would deserve a stop. A friend of theirs sells homemade butter, eggs sheep's salami. let yourself be addressed by martin.

Very large room, warm and with fine furnishings. Nice bathroom, but without soap and hairdryer.Good and Tyrolean cuisine. Nice owner, beautiful, kind and speaks Italian. The place is isolated and the road to reach it is uphill and full of hairpin bends. Winter tyres and/or chains are indispensable in winter.
