You could easily miss the entrance leading into this small restaurant housed in the Salzamt, with its beautiful, brightly lit vaulted ceiling and sophisticated ambience. Michael A Müller – a highly accomplished trained chef and restaurateur – has dedicated many years to this establishment. The owner enjoys interacting with guests and recommending the perfect wine from his extensive cellar of over 1 200 labels and 50 000 bottles. And he has found a congenial right-hand man in chef Andreas Zika. Diners choose from three surprise menus: the shorter "Theater Menu", the "Bistro Menu" and the "Gourm

Modern, concise and pared-back – the description of the stylish restaurant design could also be applied to the set menu devised by the chef-patron pair Marco Barth and Sebastian Rossbach. When it comes to the ingredients, the focus is on all that the region has to offer, with a particular insistence on organic produce; the saltwater fish they serve is caught in the wild. Their thoughtful creations yield interesting subtle contrasts – for instance, their maple syrup-glazed shiitake mushrooms served on beautifully seasoned braised leeks, and lent a refreshing fruitiness by an apple brunoise.

This is the second restaurant run by the Lukas family, and here, too, the cooking can be described as ambitious. The modern, seasonal cuisine has a regional bent and also draws on international influences – for instance, "tuna mango, miso, lime" or "braised veal cheeks chanterelles, creamed potato, Barolo red wine". As for the division of labour, owner Erich Lukas and his son Philipp work their magic in the kitchen, while maître d' Helga and her dedicated front-of-house team provide cordial service. Finally, there is the gorgeous location on a leafy estate at the edge of a forest overlooking L

Run by husband-and-wife team Simone and Christian Göttfried, this inviting restaurant boasts a charming location in the old town – the main square is just around the corner and the Danube is also very close by. The interior beautifully combines modern style with historical features such as a vaulted ceiling and wood panelling. Front of house, the owner and her team provide attentive service. Meanwhile, chef-patron Christian Göttfried focuses on cooking excellent food – expect regional, seasonal cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. Both the organic veal Wiener schnitzel and the branzino with a p

This charming establishment is situated in a pedestrian area in the old town of Linz. A few steps lead down from the entrance to a brightly lit, vaulted room done out in a modern and minimalist style. The creative cuisine playfully experiments with textures and flavours – hence the restaurant's name, which is derived from the Latin verb mutare (meaning "to change"). The service is really friendly and pleasingly informal – the front-of-house team keeps things casual in its interactions with guests. Tip for motorists: You can park at the Garage Promenade.

Manuel Grabner and Claudia Stiglitz describe their concept as a "culinary balancing act between a country inn and a fine dining restaurant". This holds true for the decor (a blend of traditional and modern), but especially for the cuisine. From an appealing array of dishes, you can compile your own set menu as you please – with starter and main course portions available, you are free to choose the sequence yourself. There are also classics such as Wiener schnitzel. The well-curated wine list displays a certain inclination towards Austrian picks but also includes international wines.

In the mood for fresh Italian cuisine that skilfully combines typical cucina casalinga with modern influences? The select ingredients are seasonal, with fish and seafood as the focal point. The ikejime dry-aged sea bass, for example, from the restaurant's own maturing cabinet, is excellent. In addition to the à la carte menu, patron Ingmar Goetzloff will talk you through the latest creations at your table. He will also be happy to advise you on drinks – they have a nicely curated wine list with around 400 labels. The modern, attractively decorated restaurant is located in a residential and off
