Ristorante Tilia In Dobbiaco

It was perfect in every way. The starter was so visually stunning that we almost hesitated to dig in. The flavors were incredibly sophisticated, with the use of wonderfully subtle mountain herbs. The cheese course was exceptional. The service was impeccable. The moral of the story for us, at least: the French have to go abroad to find truly exceptional fine dining restaurants.

An experience that goes far beyond a simple dinner. Creative dishes, top-quality ingredients, and surprising pairings without ever losing their connection to the local area. Impeccable service, intimate and elegant atmosphere. A Michelin-starred restaurant that's absolutely worth a visit and will leave you wanting to return.

Our dinner at Tilia was nothing short of unforgettable. My (now!) fiancé organized a surprise celebration dinner with my two brothers after our engagement, and the entire team made the evening feel incredibly special from the moment we arrived. We were welcomed with a celebratory glass of sparkling wine. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers in a lovely bucket and a note that said, “Happy Engagement.” It was such a thoughtful touch and immediately made us feel genuinely celebrated. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every course was beautifully presented, full of creativity, and, most importantly, delicious. What made the experience even more meaningful was the care they took with our dietary requirements. My fiancé had emailed in advance to ask whether it would be possible to prepare a four-course vegetarian tasting menu. My siblings and I have been vegetarians our entire lives—we have never eaten meat—so having the opportunity to enjoy a Michelin-starred experience that was thoughtfully adapted for us is something we don’t take for granted. The kitchen went above and beyond, and every dish felt intentional rather than simply being a substitute. The service was equally exceptional. Our sommelier was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the evening, making us feel welcome and cared for. The waitress also did a wonderful job, adding so much to the overall experience. Thank you to everyone at Tilia for helping create one of the most memorable evenings of our lives. It was a celebration we’ll cherish forever and we can’t wait to return.

Friendly, accommodating, great food

Tilia is a really great restaurant if you want a nice and delicious meal after a long hike. The food arrived quickly and tasted excellent. The service was very friendly and the staff clearly enjoyed their work. I recommend making a reservation beforehand.

High expectations were met and exceeded, both in terms of the food—with delicious and surprising dishes—and the delightful service. Thank you. I highly recommend the experience.

Dining at Chris Oberhammer's Tilia is an experience I recommend to everyone. I was there last January. Chris's cuisine is made with authentic ingredients, carefully selected and prepared to ensure a clear connection to the mountains and the land of his origins, yet with a touch of creativity rooted in the chef's international experience. Tilia is an intimate, elegant, and cozy space that makes you feel both at home and privileged. Chris is a special person, who tells the story of the dishes he sometimes serves himself with captivating passion, enthusiasm, and humility. Anita, Chris's sommelier partner, is a master at welcoming guests and guiding them through a well-rounded culinary experience, suggesting select wines from Tilia's cellar.

Nestled in the snow in Dobbiaco, just a few kilometers from the Olympic venues (Antholz is very close), Tilia is a treat, a caress of food and kindness. Exquisite hospitality, surprising dishes without being overly extravagant, meticulous attention to detail, a strong connection to the local area yet with the ability to look beyond. A blend of balanced flavors, yet rich in imagination.

We had a great time; they welcomed us into a cozy atmosphere with only four tables, despite the presence of a rather polite and verbally restrained child. The dishes were sophisticated and well-portioned, with touches of originality, such as the rare marmot, plump and delicious. Prices were reasonable without being overpriced. We recommend staying at the nearby Grand Hotel Dobbiaco guesthouse.
