Mahorko Wein Wellness Wasserbüffel

This establishment is officially named Lieperts Café, Dinner, Rooms, which accurately reflects its offerings: You can come for a wonderful breakfast Fri-Sun, then later in the day, a selection of appealing snacks and drinks are available.

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

Opened in 1972 and now run by the third generation of the family, the restaurant surprises guests with its modern, minimalist design and large glass walls that flood the rooms with natural light, from the moment they step inside.

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.

This attractive establishment opposite the imposing parish church is steeped in tradition. In addition to the fine dining restaurant that serves a set menu in the evening, the Thaller family also runs Gasthaus as an alternative, for a more down-to-earth lunch experience.
