As cosy as they come in Heiligenblut, Kirchenwirt has a warm, woody interior for winter days and a cracking terrace gazing up to the high peaks of Hohe Tauern in summer. The mood is relaxed, the service friendly, and the menu is a hearty romp through Austrian classics like goulash soup, schnitzel and strudel, plus a handful of international and vegan faves.
