This restaurant is in Der WILDe EDER, a tasteful wellness hotel, the name of which refers to patrons Eveline Wild and Stefan Eder. The vibe is chic, the glass-paned façade affords a view of the greenery – with a bit of luck you'll get to take in the sunset. The menu consists of seven courses and various small bites, enhanced by the nice idea of each course being accompanied by a story on a card. The chef serves the dishes himself and explains his philosophy, which revolves around nature and seasonal produce. He also has a soft spot for vegetarian dishes. The crowning finale is the patronne's d

A meal here is a delightful experience! The kitchen team has an abundance of excellent ingredients at its fingertips, from its own farm or from the surrounding area – something you rarely find! On Wednesdays the spotlight is on garden, field and forest, on Thursdays on offal, on Fridays on freshwater fish, and on Saturdays they mix it up.

A restaurant where you feel right at home, thanks to the cosy atmosphere, cordial service, and the food that is straight-up delicious! This is traditional, home-style cuisine – think Austrian classics such as Wiener schnitzel, Backhendl (breaded fried chicken) and Tafelspitz (boiled beef), as well as venison Beuscherl (lights) and freshwater fish from the region. Those who prefer something a little more elevated can opt for a surprise menu (three to five courses) in the evening, subject to advance booking. They also have seven cosy guestrooms.

"Cook the Gart'l" – that is to say, the garden – is the name of the game here. The modern creative cuisine is the product of a philosophy of regionality and takes the form of the four- or six-course set menu interspersed with various amuse-bouches. Ingredients from the restaurant's own garden or the local area take pride of place, in dishes such as "pumpkin, sesame, winter tarragon" or "Neusiedlersee pike-perch, winter cabbage, mustard, salted lemon". Chef Peter Pichler took over the Pichler family business in 2015, after earning his stripes at top-flight establishments in Austria and abroad (

In this restaurant of the historic Parkhotel – first documented as an inn in 1574 – you are taken on a "culinary journey back in time" to the days of the Habsburgs. Anecdotes and old recipes from that period provide the inspiration for cuisine reimagined and served in the form of charmingly plated dishes full of nuances and intense flavours. Guided by the seasons, this is food with classic foundations and an imaginative modern twist. The single set menu of eight or four courses features creations such as "duck, blueberry, mulberry, red oxalis, red cabbage" or "red mullet, oyster, Osietra cavia

The small open kitchen sends out dishes such as "beetroot, tarragon, trout" and "venison, chanterelles, redcurrants" – dishes that impress with their expressiveness and finesse, are stripped back and at the same time beautifully crafted.
