★★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Seasonal Cuisine
The names Fuchs and Zach are shorthand for a successful combination of creative cuisine and tailored wine recommendations. Gerhard Fuchs brings exceptional depth of flavour to his dishes, drawing on his wealth of culinary experience. Premium ingredients are prepared without any fuss, particularly exemplified by the "Dotterraviolo" – featuring wafer-thin pasta cooked al dente and filled with a wonderfully creamy egg yolk that is aromatic and bursts with colour. This has been a house classic and signature dish for years! There is no à la carte selection, just a surprise menu – available in a lon

Die Weinbank offers creative seasonal cuisine and high-quality wines, with dishes like egg yolk ravioli receiving praise. Service is generally attentive, though some guests report arrogant attitudes or preferential treatment for restaurant diners over those in the inn area. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. However, value for money is debated, with some finding prices too high relative to the experience. While food quality is consistently highlighted, inconsistent service and perceived elitism detract from overall satisfaction for some visitors.
Suitable for diners seeking refined creative cuisine and premium wines who accept higher prices and prefer a formal restaurant setting.

This U-shaped property is set in a quiet and secluded location in the Königsdorf mountains, surrounded by meadows, forests and greenery – the perfect backdrop for Cathrin Maric and Philipp Kroboth to live out their concept of sustainability and self-sufficiency. On their organic farm, they grow vegetables, fruit and herbs, keep goats and chickens, and harvest honey from their own bees. Everything else is sourced from like-minded producers in the immediate vicinity. Diners are served a seasonal surprise menu featuring flavoursome, ingredient-led dishes. The proprietor himself recommends the win

Pajta means ‘barn’, which is where it all began for Flóra and Ferenc – in the small barn beside this glass-fronted restaurant. The whole complex has a natural feel, from the beautiful meadow to the two-storey, nature-inspired forest lodges 1km down the road (they arrange transportation). Menus change with the seasons and perfectly reflect the area, championing produce from Őrség in historical Hungarian dishes. Fermenting and pickling are a feature, adding a welcome punch to the flavour-packed creations. Neighbouring Austria and Slovenia join Hungary for a tri-country wine pairing experience.

Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, inventive dishes, and excellent wine pairings within an elegant, peaceful atmosphere.

The fine dining arm of the Lilli gastronomy concept offers foodies the chance to savour an ambitious set menu created by Walter Triebl and his team. It comprises four, five or six courses, such as sturgeon, Alpine caviar, iced beurre blanc, cauliflower and hazelnut, or Amur carp with pörkölt (Hungarian paprika stew), parsnip and capers. The ingredients are outstanding and sourced with a clear emphasis on regional producers. The restaurant's modern interior is just as inviting as the adjoining garden area, separated only by a glass partition that can be fully opened in summer, lending the indoo

In the quiet village of Trautmannsdorf, overlooking Bad Gleichenberg, siblings Richard and Sonja Rauch have established themselves as pillars of the Austrian fine dining scene. Chef-patron Richard Rauch draws on local and international influences, showcasing the right amount of creativity in dishes such as "Styrian Orient – melanzani, spices, free-range pork, citrus hollandaise, pepper" or "Soul Food – cauliflower, smoked ricotta, chanterelles, Tropea onions, sunflower seeds". These are served in the form of two tasting menus. The ingredients used are second to none, and the restaurant's own p

Saziani offers creative seasonal cuisine with generally positive reception. Guests frequently praise the harmonious atmosphere, professional service, and beautifully presented dishes, particularly noting the French-inspired or regional vegetable menus. However, some reviews highlight inconsistencies in service, such as rude treatment for minor lateness, uneven meal pacing, and lukewarm portions. A few critics found the food under-spiced or tough, citing poor value for money. While many enjoy the lovingly prepared meals and warm hospitality, others experienced disappointment regarding portion sizes and service attitude.

This building opposite the magnificent Baroque parish church has been in the family since 1882, and Norbert Thaller has run the family business with his delightful wife Manuela since 2002. The couple has always been deeply connected to its homeland and nature. In his seven-course set menu, the chef-patron follows the rhythm of the seasons. Many of his fantastic ingredients come from his beautiful garden with its vegetable and herb patches, greenhouses and fish pond. His dishes are imaginative, sophisticated and modern, but also still down-to-earth. A vegetarian set menu can be pre-ordered. The
