Scharnitz, Austria
Lorenz in der alten Mühle
Lorenz in der alten Mühle gives Scharnitz a sharper dining register than the village setting suggests: an old mill foundation from 1569, an open kitchen, hot-charcoal robatayaki cooking, regional à la carte choices and a Japanese omakase format of three to six courses. The interest is in the Alpine-Japanese overlap, where Tyrolean locality meets a fire-led technique rarely found in small mountain towns.
