Michelin-Level Dining & Culinary Highlights Around the Red Bull Ring

Around the Red Bull Ring, you'll find more than just motorsport – there's exceptional food too, from Styrian award-winning restaurants to celebrated food trucks right here at Schitterhof.

Let's be honest: when you think of camping near the Red Bull Ring, you probably picture bratwurst and chips – not exactly fine dining and gourmet tacos. But the Murtal region punches well above its weight on the culinary front, and here at Schitterhof, we're cooking up something special ourselves.

Which award-winning restaurants are near the Red Bull Ring?

Steirerschlössl in Zeltweg brings together regional produce and modern, award-winning cuisine in a beautiful Art Nouveau setting. Chef Martin Steinkellner creates inventive dishes using fresh ingredients from their own production. The wine cellar is particularly impressive – one of the largest in Upper Styria – housing not just exceptional wines but also a herb cultivation station and dedicated cheese and meat ageing rooms. Guests experience personal warmth, impeccable service, and culinary brilliance in historic surroundings.

Hofwirt balances lived tradition with contemporary pleasure. After extensive renovation, this historic inn has emerged as a true regional gem – where traditional cooking meets modern gastronomy. Recognised with a Gault & Millau toque, Hofwirt invites you to savour special moments in refined surroundings.

Schloss Gabelhofen combines the majestic architecture of a historic moated castle with the welcoming charm and comfort of a modern hotel. Let the elegant atmosphere captivate you and enjoy the luxury of a house where history and present blend seamlessly. The in-house 3-toque restaurant offers culinary excellence – refined flavours in a unique castle setting.

At Arkadia, fine cooking meets genuine hospitality. Whether it's a quick lunch, leisurely afternoon coffee, elegant dinner, or special celebration – guest wellbeing takes centre stage. Awarded a Gault & Millau toque, Arkadia pairs culinary sophistication with relaxed atmosphere.

Right here in Murtal – literally on your motorhome's doorstep – four restaurants hold Gault & Millau toques. The official overview of award-winning restaurants in Murtal lists them all in detail: regional creativity, the finest Styrian produce, from cosy country inns to contemporary fine-dining addresses. Perfect when you're planning a proper evening out between Formula 1, MotoGP, or AirPower – multi-course menu, wine pairing, the works. Or if you simply want to discover what Styrian cuisine is really about.

All four establishments sit within easy reach (10 to 30 minutes' drive), and most stay open outside race weekends too. Not a bad plan to arrive on Thursday, enjoy a three-course Styrian meal before the circuit chaos begins.

What's on offer right here at Schitterhof?

Here's where it gets interesting: we've got two food venues on-site, both open daily from roughly 07:00 to 23:00 – MATTEO (breakfast, pizza & pasta in the evening) and MAMAS TACOS. And these tacos aren't just any tacos: MAMAS TACOS has been named Austria's best Mexican food truck multiple times by Falstaff. Seriously. The burritos, tacos, and quesadillas are authentic, made with fresh ingredients, and taste brilliant – especially (or particularly) after a long day trackside.

Overall, Schitterhof scores 4.4 stars on Restaurant Guru, which is pretty unusual for a campsite. It shows we take food seriously, and our guests notice. Fresh breakfast from 07:00, evenings you choose between crispy pizza at MATTEO or spicy tacos at MAMAS – payment by cash or card, completely straightforward. Vegetarian options available on request.

Why does the combination work so well: fine dining & camping?

Simple: you can have both. Days spent at the grandstand, evenings relaxed at your pitch – and when you fancy more than campfire romance, you're fifteen minutes from an award-winning restaurant, or you order celebrated tacos right here on site. No stress, no plastic cutlery, just proper quality. Best part: you don't need to go anywhere if you don't want to – we'll feed you brilliantly without leaving the grounds.

If you've got questions about getting here, pitches, or our food offering, check our FAQ or drop us a line at servus@schitterhof.at. We're looking forward to welcoming you – and sharing some culinary highlights around the Red Bull Ring.
