Right next to the incredibly beautiful pilgrimage church in Bildstein, one of the state's most impressive sights, is the traditional Gasthaus Kreuz.

The square in front of the palace used to be the centre of the Rhine Valley centuries ago. Today, the terrace of the Löwenbar forms part of this square and of the Löwensaal, a large venue in Hohenems which just escaped demolition.

Café and bar are located on the ground floor, the restaurant is located on the first floor of a historic town house which has been renovated and styled with a great deal of loving attention. Good fare and a select wine menu invite you to return.
