The Lecher Stube is a quaint, family run restaurant at Hotel Gotthard. The traditional Alpine restaurant is charming, with views looking out to surrounding snow capped mountains. It’s the ideal place to savour Austrian cuisine, made with the finest, locally sourced ingredients from the Vorarlberg region. The baskets of homemade breads, accompanied with an assortment of butter and Pâté, whet the appetite.
It’s always exciting to discover new local specialities when travelling, especially when the savoury soups unexpectedly include pancakes. The Frittaten oder Grießnockerlsupp, is a cleverly concocted pancake soup. A clear broth with thinly sliced crepe. It’s deliciously heart-warming, and there’s really no need to wait for a snowy day to have it. If only we had known about this sooner.
The extensive Lecher Stube menu includes a wide array of international dishes as well as great Austrian classics. The traditional beef goulash had a sweet aroma, and the tender stewed beef was served in a rich, smooth sauce topped perfectly with pickled gherkins.
The Spargelrisotto is served as a stylish skewer of veal, wrapped in swirls with air dried ham, gently infused with sage. Served on a bed of risotto laced with basil pesto and asparagus, it’s quite a feast. 
The service is swift and friendly, and the portions are rather satisfying, especially after a day hiking in Lech. The Lecher Stube is an excellent choice for an evening in Lech. We can’t wait to go back to try their desserts. It would be perfect for a small family celebration, and makes for a memorable evening in the Alps.
