Lichtblick

Innsbruck


On the 7th floor of the Rathaus Galerien, this chic glass-walled restaurant has sweeping views over Innsbruck to the Alps beyond. Backlighting and minimalist design create a sleek backdrop for Mediterranean-inspired cuisine such as grilled octopus with pepper purée, basil and lemon mayonnaise, and homemade ravioli with aged pecorino and herbs.
