There are not many restaurants in Bludenz. This is Italian and both reasonable in price and good (authentic). It is located on the pedestrian walk downtown.
2. Cafe Konditorei Fritz

Bludenz, one of five rather small cities in Vorarlberg, has a pleasant old town center with arcaded walkways - just as the not too far from from here, but bigger Feldkirch. For a break after maybe shopping (there are not too many sights around) a break is recommended at the Cafe Fritz in the equally pedestrianised, cobble-stoned Mühlgasse.
There is outdoor Seating, bu it is also nice to sit inside. All decor is attractive, with a touch of the old 'Wiener Kaffehaus'.
The confectionery offered is not on the menu-card, so for this one goes inside to the counter to see what is on offer. I went for a Marillenstrudel (apricot pie), which had intersting spicing, but not too many fruits. For the Cappuccino I was asked: with 'Sahne' (cream) or milk. Very Austrian and unusual in Italy or Switzerland. A glass of water came with it.
I saw on the menu card that at lunch-time (12-14h) they also serve warm meals. Definitely a good place for a stop in this very small historic town center, which makes for a pleasant stop en route, but which is not a travel destination in itself.

If you really want to enjoy good food in the Bludenz area this is the place to go -since years my favorite restaurant and never was I disappointed. They have rooms with half board as well -but I never checked those out. If the rooms are like the food this is a great place. The food was excellent and the portions are large - the side dished come in extra plates so in case you wish another serving ... I recommend a reservation as the restaurant is well know among locals and often the tables are all gone.. calcultate 1 1/" -2 hours for the dinner...
4. Pizzeria Antonio

The 'Pizzeria Antonio' is quite a big place, cutting through a whole block from the main entrance at the Bahnhofstrasse to the pedestrianized, cobble-stoned Sturnenstrasse, where there is also some outdoor Seating.
My choice had been one of a few tables at the Sturnenstrasse. The friendly waiter came fast, so did everything else I ordered. Since there were Austrian dishes on offer as well I went for Vorarlberg's most typical speciality 'Kässpätzle'. Unlike most other places here the dish was offered only with salad not with the choice of the more traditional 'Apfelmus' to accompany it.
The dish came in an earthenware bowl, which was quite cold, so it was definitely not prepared in it. It was the third time I ordered this menu within a year. First in Bregenz it arrived in a wooden plate, then in Feldkirch in a piping hot iron plate. And for my taste it got less good everytime.
While in Bregenz they used tasty 'Bregenzerwälder Bergkäse' and in Feldkirch a mixture of Vorarlberger Emmentaler and Montafoner Suure Kees (sour cheese), here the waiter couldn't tell me, which cheeses were used, although from a geographical point of view it must have been the same combination as in Feldkirch.
The accompanying salad came drowned in a ready made Italian dressing. And the espresso in the end was something between cold and luke-warm.

I have eaten almost all items on the Menu. All were good, but the Roast of Pork "Schweinsbraten" was definitely the winner for me. Not only once, three times by now. The service is swift, friendly and efficient. An ideal place with some friends. I can only recommend it.
It's a pitty they do not have more Hofbrau Dishes like a Schweinshaxn or Weisswurst. Then a trip to Munich would not be necessary.
6. Cafe-Restaurant REMISE

I really don't understand these positive ratings for Remise.
This is just an ordinary café bar "restaurant".
The service is friendly and efficient. For us that meant until 17:00, with the changing of the service.
With the new waitress the friendliness dropped, but efficiency stayed.
I can understand the critic of one visitor who felt service was just going for the money.
The menu is not divers. Mostly toasts. Be aware though, of the tunafish salad, presented as "für den kleinen Hunger". It is not a toast but a real full meal. Order that one, in case you are hungry.
The prices are OK for me, and in balance with what is offered. It is of course not "haute cuisine", and that is also not what is to be expected of this café-bar-"restaurant".
Remise is a good place to stay. Don't expect to much from it (don't read the other reviews ;) ), and you will not be disappointed.

Definitely the best place to eat on the mountain in Bürserberg. Generous portions of course, prices good too, and a reasonable wine list. Accessible to skiers and non skiers alike. Best dishes are the stroganoff, and the Frööd Burger (although be aware the bun is bigger than the burger itself!
