A pastel blue townhouse plays host to this series of intimate, elegant dining rooms, but many favour a spot in the striking glass-enclosed terrace overlooking the street. The multi-course menu opens with dishes inspired by the chef’s global travels, before moving on to offer refined versions of more local recipes. Beautifully presented, wonderfully flavoured Hungarian produce might include Danube salmon – accompanied by caviar, butter sauce and dill – or aged Mangalitsa ham with white asparagus, morels and chervil. Charming service and an impressive wine cellar add to the experience, as do the

Part of the Platán complex – which also includes a hotel and spa – this charming bistro sits within the same historic castle outbuilding as Two Michelin Starred Platán Gourmet. It has a pleasingly relaxed, contemporary style, and in the corner is a small shop selling desserts and ice cream. In summer you can dine beneath the branches of a 230-year-old sycamore tree on a charming stepped terrace which borders the lake. The concise menu sees robust Hungarian dishes given a refined bistro-style makeover while still staying true to their roots. Service is fittingly warm and chatty.

Barbara Eselböck and Alain Weissgerber offer a delightful alternative to Taubenkobel restaurant with this charming eatery located in the adjacent building. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and completely unpretentious, and the food is simply delicious. Select ingredients go into flavoursome dishes such as Alsace-style snails, Wiener schnitzel and gnocchi with fresh truffles. The interior is wonderfully cosy and has a vintage feel to it, with charming decorative touches and shelves displaying house-made and Pannonian food items, as well as regional wines. By the entrance, there is a counter

A tip to start off with: in summer, don't miss out on the terrace with a view of the Danube – it's idyllic! That's not to say the kitchen doesn't also deliver its fair share of delights: the beautifully prepared regional dishes are packed with flavour, from Wiener schnitzel (made with veal), potatoes and lamb's lettuce salad, to delicious ravioli or Arctic char fillet, to 24hr-braised ox cheek. Be sure to try the house-made vinegar-based lemonades, too. Hot meals served throughout the day.

This spruce family-run inn has been welcoming diners for 100 years. Owner and head chef Hannes Tschida showcases his love for the Seewinkel region through dishes incorporating plenty of local ingredients. The wide-ranging à la carte options include Grammelknödel (potato dumplings stuffed with greaves), beef goulash, trout ceviche, dry-aged steak and Lake Neusiedl catfish. There is also a four- to six-course surprise menu. To complement the bold flavours of the cuisine, an impressive wine list dominated by Austrian labels is available. The restaurant itself has two indoor dining spaces: one ooz

The name "Fossil" was not simply plucked out of thin air: This restaurant is actually located in a Muschelkalk limestone wine cellar dating back to 1870. At the entrance on the historical Kellerplatz, you are greeted by a plant-filled Mediterranean-style terrace. Then take just a few steps down, walk past the open kitchen and into the bright and imposing barrel vault, which makes for an enchanting setting. Chef-patron Thomas Daniel Pugel has been cooking here since 2015. Between noon and 9pm, he serves up regional and seasonal cuisine that is rooted in Austrian tradition yet incorporates moder

The new project by Barbara Eselböck and Alain Weissgerber is not far from their other restaurant, Taubenkobel. The traditional character of this long-established inn has been deliberately preserved – the food being no exception. The handwritten menu includes dishes such as Tafelspitz, goulash and cordon bleu, not to mention the fantastic apricot dumplings! Although down-to-earth, the dishes impress with the high standards in terms of quality and craftsmanship ensured by Karlheinz Ruttmann. Previously chef at Freisinger Hof in Munich, he is a long-time friend of Alain Weissgerber and they worke
