Il Convento

Description

A new star among Innsbruck’s award-winning eateries offering pure culinary pleasure is Peppino Conte’s Il Convento on Franziskaner Square, which has made a stellar debut in the Gault Millau culinary guide with 12 points and 1 toque. Here exquisite ‘cucina mediterranea’ delights the palate with down-to-earth Italianitá such as succulent Parmigana or braised roast of veal, complemented by fresh fish and seafood dishes in a salute to the ocean. This sumptuous feast for the eyes is matched by the restaurant’s unique architecture, its carefully renovated parlours and contemporary setting blending harmoniously with the remains of ancient city walls. Also Il Convento’s well-stocked wine cellar holds an exciting range of veritable sensual delights.
