Brenner Pass

"Named for the mountain passage forming the border of Austria and Italy, Brenner Pass offers seasonally inspired European fare in a chic, urban setting. Executive chef Brittanny Anderson (also of Metzger Bar and Butchery) showcases local ingredients in updated takes on French, Italian, Swiss and Austrian dishes.  Don’t miss the craft cocktails, house-made pastas, European charcuterie, and of course the fondue. Other pluses include a curated selection of biodynamic and natural wines, and a large patio for al fresco dining. Serving dinner from 5pm Tuesday – Saturday and Sunday brunch 11 to 4." - The Frontier Project

"Chairlift is Brenner Pass’s little sister, and attached coffee shop. Visit in the morning for house-made pastries - both sweet and savory - and espresso or pour over coffee. Come in at lunch for sandwiches and salads, and pop in after work for beer and wine by the glass paired with cheese and charcuterie. Of course, there’s wifi so you can plan to get some work done while you sip your latte (or glass of vino). Chairlift also has a small market area offering wine by the bottle and a selection of European cheeses. Open Tue. to Thurs. 8am-10pm, Fri. and Sat. 8am-11pm, Sun. and –Mon. 8am-6pm" - The Frontier Project

"Top Chef contestant Brittanny Anderson’s ode to the food and wine of the Alps, Brenner Pass offers a spacious, modern setting to enjoy fondue in Dansk pots, potato-topped flammkuchen (an Alsatian flatbread), or a dry-aged cote de boeuf au poivre. But save room for a trip next door to Black Lodge, a fun-loving dive bar born during the pandemic where killer cocktails pair nicely with the “Tower of Power” — a selection of hot dogs, patty melts, and French fries that satisfy late-night cravings in one fell swoop. Looking for something just a skosh more German? Head to Church Hill to sister restaurant The Metzger, where the Frühstück Brett (charcuterie, pretzel roll, soft egg) at brunch is an unmatched delight." - Stephanie Ganz
