Treibgut

As a sophisticated alternative to Seestern, Treibgut adds to the gourmet credentials of the Lago hotel. Modern cuisine is served in a trendy and exceedingly stylish setting. There are also dishes designed for sharing, such as steaks, whole fish or traditional grazing board. A fine selection of products from the in-house bakery, butchery and ice creamery is available. In summer, the lakeside setting is best enjoyed on the terrace.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.1/5 · 80 reviews

Located by Lake Ausee in Ulm, Treibgut offers picturesque views and a large terrace, though some guests note the interior is too dark and noisy for comfortable conversation. Food quality is generally praised, with the summer menu and classics like Zwiebelrostbraten receiving high marks. However, some diners found dishes bland or poorly seasoned, and one review cited a dry schnitzel. Service is polarizing: many appreciate the friendly, competent staff, while others report chaotic experiences, including unmanned reception, stressed or arrogant servers, and hygiene issues. While the ambiance and location are strong points, the inconsistent service and occasional culinary disappointments mean the experience varies significantly depending on the visit.

Suitable for diners seeking lakeside ambiance, but visiting during off-peak hours is recommended to ensure consistent service quality.
