    Küchentanz | ibon

    Bregenz

    These two restaurants sit just around the corner from one another in Bregenz and belong to the same restaurant family.

    Küchentanz was the first to open in the Ilge building. It’s a beautiful space, and the moment you step inside you feel welcome, cosy, and ready for a good evening. Over the last few years, Küchentanz has become a staple favourite of ours. Their tagline — a culinary dance around the world with regional ingredients — describes them perfectly.

    So what can you expect? Their menu offers traditional Austrian dishes for those who love home comforts, but you’ll also find curries, poke bowls, and a variety of international flavours. You might assume that offering so many different styles would affect the quality, but you would be wrong. The food is consistently stunning, full of flavour, and simply delicious. The menu changes frequently to showcase different cuisines and seasonal produce. Some examples include pork belly, masala curry, duck, and fresh pasta. A few times a year, they even host a ramen day.

    At the end of 2025, their partner restaurant ibon opened — following the same food philosophy but with a completely different design. The space is large and modern, with bright blues and reds dominating the interior. Its minimal aesthetic lets the food shine. ibon means “bird” in Filipino, and the concept here is free as a bird: fusion-inspired dishes rooted in Vorarlberg. In summer, you can sit in their beautiful small garden out back, where it’s easy to forget you’re in the centre of Bregenz.

    The menus at Küchentanz and ibon are not the same, which means even more flavours to explore — Moroccan dishes, Filipino stews, Italian–Japanese fusion pasta, and so much more. There truly is something for everyone.

    At ibon, you can also choose a 6‑course surprise menu. I haven’t tried it yet, but based on everything else I’ve eaten there, I can only imagine it’s the best kind of surprise.

  • Le Burger

    Le Burger

    Hohenems

    This is our favourite burger place in Vorarlberg. Personally, I like a burger to be meaty and not greasy, and Le Burger delivers every single time. What I also appreciate is that it doesn’t feel like a fast‑food chain. It’s a relaxed, sit‑down restaurant with table service — but it’s not somewhere you linger all evening. That makes it perfect for families and groups of friends who want great food without the formality.

    The restaurant itself is the absolute definition of a cool interior, with every type of seating you can imagine: tables, booths, and even swinging chairs (although perhaps not for those prone to motion sickness!). They clearly love a good wallpaper, an upholstered chair and a funky light fixture. The puns on the walls and on the servers’ T-shirts are endless, and I absolutely love them. Even the bathrooms are worth a visit just to admire the wallpaper.

    The menu is huge — and when I say huge, I mean there truly is a burger for everyone. And if you still can’t find exactly what you’re craving, you can build your own. They offer classics like bacon cheeseburgers, farmhouse‑style, Argentinian and Italian‑inspired options, high‑protein burgers served with broccoli, chicken, beef, veggie burgers, and a rotating selection of specials. And if you’re not in the mood for a burger at all, they also serve wraps, steaks, and a good range of salads.

    My personal favourite is the farmhouse burger. A fried egg and mushrooms on a burger will win me over any day of the week.

    A strong selling point for my kids is the sauce bar, where you can help yourself to as much homemade sauce as you like. There are classics such as ketchup, mayonnaise, and BBQ sauce, alongside more adventurous flavours like pineapple curry, taco mayo, and their signature sauce. I’m very much looking forward to the day my girls are tall enough to reach it themselves so I don’t have to keep getting up to help them.

    The service is always friendly and efficient, no matter how busy the restaurant gets. At weekends, I would definitely recommend booking, as it fills up quickly.

    This is a firm family favourite and will always be one of our go-to places for eating out. Even without the kids, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner centred around simply good food.

    Takeaway is also available if you prefer to enjoy your burger at home, and you can reserve a table online for added convenience.
