Forsterbräu Trento, Traditional brewery restaurant in Trento, Italy.
Forsterbräu Trento is a brewery restaurant in the center of Trento, in northern Italy, offering regional food alongside beers from the Forst brewery in South Tyrol. The dining room has a straightforward layout with tables for both lunch and dinner service, and the menu covers traditional dishes from the surrounding Alpine area.
The restaurant has been part of Trento's dining scene since 1906, making it one of the oldest continuously operating eating places in the city. Over the decades it changed in size and layout, but kept its identity as a place where local food and beer from the Forst brewery come together.
The name Forsterbräu comes directly from the Forst brewery in South Tyrol, which gives the place a clear regional identity. Dishes on the menu follow the cooking traditions of both South Tyrol and Trentino, so the food feels rooted in the area rather than generic.
The restaurant is on Via Paolo Oss-Mazzurana in central Trento, within easy walking distance of the main square. It opens Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner, so it is worth checking in advance if you plan to visit on a Monday or around a public holiday.
The bar has dedicated taps for varieties like VIP Pils, Kronen, and Sixtus, all poured directly from the connected Forst brewery rather than distributed through a third party. This direct supply chain is rare for a city restaurant and means the beer arrives fresher than in most places.
